STORIES AND REFLECTIONS
It’s a no brainer to me that this week’s thankful post expresses my gratitude for the opportunity I had last Thursday night to further promote my little book project, and do it in the presence of such amazing company. As the Books & Books manager wrote to me the day after, “You had a wonderful crowd. There was a lot of love in that room….” Yes indeed, and I felt it! ♥ So thankful.
Here’s the video of the Books & Books event. Again, thank you all for your support and company. A special thanks to my editor, Betty Bottomley, who made it in time all the way from Tennessee!

The boat stops but the music doesn’t!) As you get older, you either love it or hate it. But I can’t deny that it’s been part of many great memories for me. Just recently, my daughter and I videoselfied our sing-along while on the ride (I’ll spare you from that here). Yes, it was close to midnight, yes, it was part delirium, but, the ride was, once again, part of a memory maker. And today, for that I am thankful….
For every moment that we are safe in this crazy world we live in, thank You, God. Knowing that our lives can change between breaths, we shouldn’t, we mustn’t, take even a second for granted. “How strange is the lot of us mortals Each of us is here for a brief sojourn for what purpose he…

For a very precise arrangement of events to give me exactly what I needed and when I needed it. Those God-planned, God-sent interruptions… sometimes difficult, other times delightful, always purposeful. I will chose faith over fretting….
