On Giving Thanks

On Giving Thanks



A wonderful night spent with other writers. It’s always inspiring to be surrounded by writers and to be able to talk about writing with others who understand what you’re talking about. And we had a wonderful group of people!



A week filled with good friends. While it does seriously detract from writing/editing time, it’s always great to break out of the writing bubble and meet with people.



Iced tea. Putting tea leaves to good use during these warmer months by making iced tea. These are so, so good! Featured: Hibiscus Punch from Tea Source and Raspberry Lemon Riot Mate from Teavana.



Lazy days. With the dog, wandering around outside, writing, reading, updating/creating new blogs, developing community, baking.



Hanging out with my sister and a successful meeting between the dog and my sister’s dogs. I took the dog I’m dogsitting for an extended period of time to my sister’s so that she could run freely in the yard and my sister’s dogs actually got along with her well.

What are thankful for today?

    Being able to talk with people who understand what you're talking about is the best thing!! I guess I'm thankful for that today even though it's been some time since I've had a real good hearty conversation. But as I'd like one right now, I can appreciate the idea of it and all the great intimate conversations of the past 🙂

    Btw, I like how you incorporated the elongated photos within this post!

Summer has never been my favorite season so I inte Summer has never been my favorite season so I intentionally try to find those moments that I enjoy. Here’s one from summer 2023: sitting outside and watching this bird couple care for their babies.
It’s true. Okay, Mina. Your human needs a hug. It’s true.

Okay, Mina. Your human needs a hug. And maybe we should consider taking more flattering videos of the two of us. 😂

I’m thankful that you can see Mina throughout the entire video…there were a few days in July that I wasn’t sure she would be around much longer.
