Much to be thankful for today…
- My good friend marjorielight has FINISHED drafting her first YA novel. For those of you who write, remember how that feels…to finish that first book that seemed like it would go on forever when you started writing? (Wait…I’m on my fifth novel, and it still feels that way when I start.) Congratulations, Marjie!
- I am FINISHED grading state English tests, which means that instead of being locked in a conference room with bubble scoresheets today, I get to be back in my classroom with my kids.
- I am still full of major thankfulness for the retreat I attended last weekend, Kindling Words. I posted pictures earlier this week, but for those who would like to see more (including a shot of me drumming with wayyy too much enthusiasm), you can check out other photographic KW posts from halseanderson , saraclaradara , and eluper .
- Today started better than yesterday, which began with a broken plate and a mouse in my kitchen, all before 7am. It is now 7:30, and the kitchen is quiet.
What’s making you feel thankful today?
Darn, Kate, we seem to be on the same wavelength as far as thankful Thursdays go. Today I am thankful for the sun and the wind and the stars. And for NOT having a mouse in my kitchen!
I’m thankful I’m not showing signs of the stomach virus my husband had yesterday! Yet.
I nailed the first movement of Telemann’s Sonata in F Minor!
Now if I knew how to count thirty-second notes so I could really get into the second movement…
I am thankful for…Y.O.U.! I believe if I had never met you, my novel would not have come to fruition. You are inspirational. Thanks for your friendship. (And the props)
