I am a very thankful writer this year. It would take forever to list all the reasons, but I’ll post a short list. Thankful to have wonderful editors and publishers. Thankful to have readers. Thankful to have the flexibility to work at home and be there to see it the first time my baby learned to climb on and off the couch by herself. Thankful that copyedits are incoming but they’re light. (Woot! Light copyedits!) Thankful, thankful, thankful.

I hope everybody out there is having a wonderful Thanksgiving. I re-read this post this morning and realized what a mistake a short list is because it doesn’t include so many things, like how thankful I am for the people I’m sharing this day with. My husband is stoking up the woodstove, the baby is cuddling in my lap and the toddler isn’t up yet but I can’t wait to see her. I am very thankful for my family.
