I limited myself to a list of 5 things. I could have written ALL day. My Thanksgiving manifesto—5 reasons to be thankful 1. My family. A little crazy, but very smart and talented, and always a joy. 2. My friends. I have amazing friends. They support me and help me—and join me in mischief. 3. My writing career. I am privileged to write stories that people are willing to buy. Readers sometimes forget the power they have to determine a writer’s career. Without readers, writers couldn’t afford to write. 4. My health. Tuesday evening I picked up a 45-pound dog (about 30 pounds underweight) and carried him in my arms to the truck at a hard run. He was bleeding profusely. I rushed him to the vet where he is still on IVs and being monitored. This dog simply showed up in my barn. I am so blessed to be able to perform the physical labor that is required to run Good Fortune Farm Refuge. It is a physical life, and I am so thankful I can live it. 5. My age. I miss being young, but the rewards of the “crone” stage of life are many. This is the time for the search for the inner me, the core of who I am. Youth often gets in the way—because this is a quiet, solitary search. I am daily amazed at the things I am discovering.
