what are you thankful for?

We're in the season of Thanksgiving, and this year, it's been easy for me to count my blessings. They have been many, and I'm not speaking in terms of money, either. This year, like many other, I've had to make some difficult choices, and along the way, I always had my friends there. Even if they couldn't help me make the decisions I had to make, they were there to listen to me, to offer input, and to be there for me when or if there was fallout from my decisions. My friends are my biggest blessings because they are my family. The blessings began early this year as I was gifted a cruise that was dedicated to Star Trek in February. I was able to go to the Caribbean and spend seven days aboard a Royal Caribbean cruise with Star Trek fans and celebrities.  

I was in at least two casts this year, and while that might shock some people that I count those as blessings, I was happy that I only had to endure casts and not surguries as I have many times before.

I've written so much this year, mostly for Red Shirts Always Die, which is the site dedicated to Star Trek, but I also finished a resource book for low-income families that will be coming out after the first of the year. 

My friend and I took a short trip so I could visit Buc-ees for the first time ever! What a store! It was a bit overwhelming, but I can see why everyone loves it. 

I"ve read more books this year than I have in a long time! There's a lot of great talent in this world! 

And that's where I'll stop for now even though there are so many more. What are your blessings? What are you the most thankful for in your life?
