It's that time of year--time to say thanks for all the good things in our lives. I'm especially thankful for my family. I have a lot of good memories of Christmases when I was growing up. In Colorado it's often a white Christmas, which is great if you get a sled but not so much if Santa leaves you a new bike.
I'm thankful for having a roof over my head and food on the table. The fireplace is lit, and considering it's eight below zero outside right now, it's truly a blessing. There are plenty of goodies in the kitchen, ensuring I'll have snacks while I write.
I'm thankful for friends, who come to the rescue when things aren't going well and help celebrate when things are good. The published author thing is like a rollercoaster, and it's good to have people who know you to keep things on an even keel.
I'm thankful for books--where would I be without them? A love of books led to a love of writing. I still read like a fiend, about five books a week.
