Today I am thankful.

Today I am thankful to serve a God who not only knows the beginning and end, but He also loves me and wants what is best for my life.

Today I am thankful that this month I began querying for an agent for When Life Hands You Lymes, which means that after years of preparation, I’m finally ready to send the book out into the literary world.

Today I’m thankful for the life I’ve been utterly blessed with. The ups, downs, excitement, normalcy (if there is such a thing), and opportunities.

Today I am thankful for all I’ve learned about writing during the past year, and how much I’ve been able to improve. Because, as my beta readers will attest to, I was really needing to improve.

Today I am thankful for the people in my life who influence me for the better, and encourage me to follow God no matter what.

Today I’m thankful that when I’m writing I’m kept company by my cute little writing buddy bunnies, Scribbles and Whimsy. I’m also thankful that I’ve learned to remove all cords from within their reach.

Today I’m thankful for God being creative, and creating me to be creative as well. It makes me ever so happy to think that He calls each of the stars by name.

Today I am thankful for siblings who make me laugh, deep conversations at church, unity with God’s family, new ideas with writing, agents who I’ve heard back from, Noveltea, curiosity, grace, second-chances, and a list longer than I have time to write out this morning.

I’m also extremely thankful for y’all, and the fact that you’re joining me on this adventure called Life. I hope you have a fantastically wonderfully blessed day.
