On this Thanksgiving Eve, I am feeling very blessed. I took a few moments to make a list of what I am most grateful for and wanted to share it with you, in the hopes that you’ll be inspired to create your own “Gratitude List”. It’s always good to remember how much we all have to be grateful for…

Happy Thanksgiving with love!

  2. What a pleasure to find your blog. I was looking for how to order your 2010 book on Being a Writer. I am one and identify with much you say.

    I think I should add that even without health and many monetary pleasures, it is possible to richly enjoy my gifts, loves, and imaginations.

    I am working on a memoir and hope i can share some of how even hellish chaos can lead to something better.

    I used to live in south where stars are low in sky and very beautiful. Outside DC now, the country part of nature has escaped me. But I look for stars and find them.

    Thank you for blogging. Claire Drapkin
