30 Days of Thanks: Day 15

The other day a friend said "Wow, you're doing NaNoWriMo and that 30 Days of Thanks thing?  That's a lot."  Yes, cranking out 1,667 words a day in some sort of thing that might one day resemble a novel takes some time.

But this 3o Days of Thanks thing had become a wonderful habit.  All day long I find myself on the look out for things to be thankful for.  I stop and jot them down throughout the day and when I sit down to write in the evening, I realize have so many things to choose from, so much to be grateful for.

Today I'm thankful for...

• the opportunity to show parents all the things their children are doing well


• fall weather perfect for dresses, tights and boots


• riding with the top down on clear, starry nights


• author Joshilyn Jackson's take on revision.  "It’s like a Book Spa, where the book gets a mani-pedi, a fresh haircut..."


• spin class
