Another month in 2022 is in my rearview mirror on my road to express thankfulness. This adventure sometimes becomes challenging, but I’m discovering many things to be thankful for daily. Focusing on the positive despite all the tragedies in the world makes me happy. It motivates me to work toward positive change. Being grateful drives away fear. I can see so many potholes in the road, but I start my day searching for the blessings in my life. These events or things might seem small and insignificant, but they add up to a giant pile of happiness at the end of the road. I am inviting you to come along for the ride. Why don’t we all travel the road of gratefulness in June? This post covers day 353 of my 365 days of thankfulness.
Day 353 of my 365 Days of Thankfulness
On day 353 of my 365 days of thankfulness, I am grateful that I finished editing Chicks Gone Wild this morning. It is the second book in my Henhouse series. The story centers around three lady florists that take up bounty hunting to save their struggling flower shop. In this book, one of the women is kidnapped. She manages to escape. The women also save the men in the final chapters dramatically. They end up becoming local celebrities. It turns out that brand of fame isn’t good for business in the small city of Tecumseh. They will have to deal with the fallout in book three. I hope to edit this book sometime in 2023. It may take a while because I have at least one book of short stories to go through again. Plus, the nucleus of another tale I want to tell is rambling around in my head. I am grateful for the writing life I live.
This old lady is glad she finished a deep edit of Chicks Gone Wild.
I have learned thanksgiving is a matter of choice. Don’t let anyone tell you differently. Even in dark places, it is good to seek the light. My blessings may not be the same as yours because I’m old. I bet if you dig deep, you can come up with something to be thankful for today. Don’t neglect to see the good things before your face because you hear the world is falling apart. Let me tell you a secret. The world always falls apart when you focus on the doom and gloom. You won’t always find thankfulness an easy road, but it’s an adventure we can all take together. What are you thankful for today? Leave a comment, and bless my heart. I am not being sarcastic when I say that. I could use the encouragement as much as the next person.
