Christine Fonseca's Thankful Tuesdays #4
Christine Fonseca had the brilliant idea of dedicating each Tuesday in November to writerly things we are thankful for. She invites anyone to play along, and she even set up a schedule for us. Here is the remaining schedule:
11/23 – Giving Thanks to Writing (in general)
Today's focus is on Writing
On this Tuesday before Thanksgiving, there is much to be thankful for. I am thankful for my wonderful husband and my three precious kiddos. I'm thankful for a job I love in a town I never want to leave. And I am thankful for writing.
Writing has always been a major part of my life. I majored in English because of my love for words and literature. I became a teacher so I could live in that world every day. Now, I teach mostly composition and can't wait for the day when I get to teach creative writing, too. But the best writing thing that has EVER happened to me was the day I began blogging.
Today, I am thankful for all of you. This blogging community keeps me motivated and energized and encouraged and supported. I no longer feel like I'm on an impossible journey - one that no one else understands. I have all of you to commiserate with, to celebrate with, to learn and grow with. And I am thankful.
My writing gratitude goes to all of you.
Thank you for being here with me.
Thank you for being here with me.
I am taking the rest of the week off for the holiday. My sister is coming from Seattle to visit - Yay! I'll see you all on Monday.
Happy Thanksgiving!
