Alexandra Bogdanovic's Blog: That's life... - Posts Tagged "gratitude"

Ok, I admit it. I'm hardly breaking new ground here. It's Thanksgiving and a lot of people will write about all of the things for which they are grateful. But I just can't resist the temptation to do the same.
So as an author, here's my list of the top ten things for which I'm most grateful:
10. All of the wonderful people I've met online and elsewhere while promoting my book.
9. All of the people who have taken an interest in my work and provided the platforms on which to share it.
8. All of the people who encouraged me to write "Truth Be Told: Adam Becomes Audrey."
7. My publisher for taking a chance on an unknown author and providing continued support.
6. The incredibly talented people who designed my book cover and book trailer; you guys rock!
5. My "boys." -- You guys know who you are.
4. God-given talent and the time to nurture it.
3. My mom; you are and always will be my hero. I love you.
2. Adversity. Without it, you never appreciate the good times and you never grow.
1. Freedom -- specifically the freedom to share my story, to write it as I see fit without fear of censorship or other recrimination.
God Bless America and happy Thanksgiving, everyone!
Until next time, "That's life..."
