Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday of the year. It’s
a special day when we can gather our family around a table of delicious food
and reflect on all things and all the reasons we should be glad we’re
celebrating the day. And, although we might worry about the calories we’ll be
enjoying from the tempting food, we don’t have to worry about finding the
perfect gifts for everyone on our Christmas list.
©I’m thankful to be able to be born in a country where I am
able to create and write freely without fears of censorship or retribution. I’m
also thankful for all the readers who purchase our novels and who encourage us
as well as our family members who support us in our crazy profession.
© I’m thankful for all our
service people—the military, rescue squads, firemen, police and many, many more
whose occupations are to protect our freedoms and who are dedicated to keeping
us safe. We are, indeed, land of the free because of the brave.
©I’m thankful for the
editors, publishers, artists, marketing professionals, and production and
support personnel who take our creation of words and help us sculpt them into
smooth, finished works of art called novels.
©I’m thankful for all the sights, sounds, smells and tastes
around us—like bright sunny days, scarlet sunsets, serene snowfalls, gentle
rain, the smell of pine-tinged air, the warble of a song sparrow, the chirping
of a cricket, the taste of summer’s first strawberries—and all the wondrous
gifts our Heavenly Creator gives us each day to help us to be inspired.
Happy Thanksgiving from my home to yours!
