Thankful Thursday
I was thinking about how much I am thankful for as I was walking home this evening, and then I saw
kmessner's post so:
1. The novel that is dear to my heart piqued an agents interest enough for him to request a full.
1a. And I had the courage to get it together and send it. Because he was and is a nice guy and acknowledged it and said he'd try to get back to me sooner rather than later.
2.. I have a college-age daughter who likes to take walks with her mother.
3. I live in a community where everyone pulls together to help someone in need. Tonight was the benefit for the farm that was hit by a tornado and there was plenty of donated food and beverages, good music, a raffle. All kinds of people were there--select board, town clerk, neighbors, other farmers, people like me, the Rotary Club, people from the village store, young people, old people, middle-aged people, people who've lived in town all their lives, people who've only been here a few years, and the exchange student from Brazil who arrived two days ago. All the funds went to the farmers, who plan to use it to re-do their fencing.
3a. And that I am a community reporter who gets to let people know about people doing things like this.
4. I made progress on another wip.
5. I have magazine editors who value my skills and view the process as a collaboration.
6. I got to hear some young dudes rockin' out with a Johnny Cash song. Wish I could remember which one.
