UPDATE: The winner is…Nicola Sullivan!
*~*~*
I’m off to the city today for a PET Scan. I’m hungry and grumpy. I could only eat protein—no carbs or sugar for the last 24 hours. That sounds easy enough, but dang, I’m craving a burger with a bun with French fries and a soda! In fact, the minute I’m out of the clinic after the scan, that’s where I’m going to insist my daughter take me!
Last night, I attended my local art guild’s meeting. We voted on a new board. I’m VP of programs! My dd and I went in with a long agenda that we whipped through quickly, including ideas for future programs. It’s something to keep me looking forward, so many things to do. I love being part of that community. My mother was one of the founding members of that group and a true artist. I think she’d be pleased.
Anyway, today, I have lots on my mind—the scan, writing projects I need to begin, fun things to do with the art guild. Too many hopeful future-looking things for me to accept any news from my scan that isn’t also hopeful and future-looking.
I made a quick list of 5 Things I’m Thankful For…
👨👩👧 — My family, who love and take care of me
🏡 — A comfortable home
🗺️ — The many wonderful memories of the adventures I enjoyed while traveling abroad
🥘 — Good food!
⌛ — The time to enjoy all of the above—even if it’s only one year, although I’m hoping for more!
For a chance to win a $5 Amazon gift card, tell me the five things you’re thankful for!

Having an active imagination to keep working on my books and favorite crafts.
And, thankful I no longer have to brave the weather to deal with the commute to and from my old jobs.
