Greetings anyone tuning in today. This is going to be short, as I have been too busy to put much effort into this post, but simply couldn’t bring myself to miss an IWSG post.

1. I’m gearing up for the second leg of my book tour extravaganza. This mini tour will feature a quiz I put together about Love Triangles according to my book, It’s Like the Full Moon. Anyone interested is welcome to try it early, but please share it if you do.


2. This may be the last month of my blog hop adventure depending on the response I get when I reach out to the handful of participants I have so far. I’ve really enjoyed this and hope some of them will continue the journey with me into the new year. Please check out the BooktagsBlogHop, if you’re interested.

3. I’m hoping this holiday season will bring on some much-needed rest, but it’s not likely. In any case, I am looking forward to spending time with family and celebrating Christmas, just because I can.

Got any big plans for the holiday, whichever it may be?
Gonna give my blog hop a try?

Happy #Thanksgiving U.S.A! 2015

Wikipedia

I sincerely hope all nations have a celebration that’s comparable to our Thanksgiving Day celebration. If we get too caught up in the day-to-day struggle to keep moving forward, it’s nice to know that we can at least set aside one day to just be thankful for whatever little bit it is we have. Sure there’s historical, political, and for those who choose, even religious ties to this holiday, but it doesn’t have to be that complicated. There’s always something to be thankful for.

Today I’m thankful for:

…My health, that isn’t always the best, but at least I’m here and not currently suffering any pain.

…My family and friends. I’m not always the best at keeping in touch or being aware of what’s happening with others, but I do care and know that I couldn’t make it day-to-day without the ones who love me standing by my side: physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

…My country, with all its faults, it’s still the place that allows me to live and pursue happiness in spite of my race, gender, and religious preference.

…Jesus Christ.

Happy Veterans Day U.S.A. – 2015

Wikipedia

Today is the day we remember and honor the end of wars and the signing of peace treaties. This is the day we thank and honor our veterans for serving in wars (appreciated and unappreciated) to protect the ideals of this country…We also get a day off work (some of us).

To everyone else around the world, I wish you a good day and hope that your country also recognizes a day such as this.

This is an updated and reposted post.
