Thankful

These wild turkeys are thankful they live in a safe neighborhood. We saw them during a recent drive through the Garden of the Gods park.

I'm thankful for a roof over my head, food on the table, and our wonderful daughters, son-in-law, and granddaughters. 

I'm grateful I've been able to pursue my dream of writing fiction. The publishing landscape feels like it becomes more difficult every year. At the same time, new opportunities for getting fiction to readers pop up. Just Keep Writing.

I'm thankful for writing groups where I feel I'm amongst my people. Pikes Peak Writers, the blog Type M for Murder, and Rocky Mountain Mystery Writers of America.

I'm thankful my husband and I continue to enjoy good heath, now that we're officially seniors. I love our walks and runs outdoors through the changing seasons. I'm thankful we have reconnected with our faith community.

Every day isn't perfect. Life has its trials and tribulations, aches and pains, highs and lows. But overall, there is much to be thankful for.
