A Grateful Post
Hey gang,
I'm just adding to the pot of gratefulness. I've been seriously out of touch. It's time for an update.
I've decided that I cannot write at home on the weekends - so I've retreated to the Squirrel Hill public library. I'm grateful for silence and quiet and friendly librarians.
I'm grateful to my prospective editor at Corwin Press, who, after two revise and resubmits, is allowing us yet to resubmit a third because he believes in what we have to say.
The Chabad community in Squirrel Hill was very helpful to me during my kidney stone surgery and made sure Ivry was taken care of and I was well fed and watered. A wonderful doula accompanied me to the hospital and stayed with me the whole time. I am truly grateful to her for helping me cope better with the pain.
Again the Chabad community made me feel very welcomed after my sprained ankle last year during Rosh Hashana. So I was able to enjoy my dip in honey and taste the sweetness . To my Jewish friends and community, may you have a sweet New Year.
I'm grateful to have a teaching job at the Community College (CCAC)- I wish I had more classes but I know someone is looking out for me. So I'm grateful for that. But on the other hand, my phone is constantly ringing from the Pittsburgh Board of Education. They constantly need subs.
I'm grateful for blue skies and intermittent rain. We need a balance of the two. I get too depressed when there is prolonged cloudiness.
I'm grateful to the UJF people who are taking Ivry and I out to Simmons farm tomorrow. We don't have a car and while we miss having one, we just can't afford having and maintaining one especially with the low economy. so we get to go apple picking and see foliage. Yay! We are craving for this kind of trip.
I'm grateful to my mother's social worker and tax accountant who beat the holes of bureaucracy when it comes to renewing my mom's Medicaid and updating me and my brother with important financial information. That is truly a blessing.
I'm grateful to the writer's group at Squirrel Hill who is so supportive with comments and cares about helping me progress and grow as a writer. Thank you group!
I'm grateful to my the presence of my coauthor - She is currently buried under school work but we have a good collaborative relationship going!
I'm grateful to the caretakers of my son at the JCC - they are truly great with my son and I/we am happy!

I'm grateful to my online writer's group from the Suzane Lieurance writer's boot camp - they are my fellow soliders and we continually march and support each other!

Finally, I am grateful to the every day opportunities of my writing and what the day brings.
There are so many more blessing of which I am truly grateful for.. so maybe in another post.
Thank you for reading this !
Have a good weekend.
