Thankful Thursday: thankful for rain during this drought!
We’re in a bad drought down here in Louisiana. It’s so bad that saltwater from the Gulf is creeping up the Mississippi, and they’ve been worried about our drinking water for a few months now. Luckily, it hasn’t infiltrated the drinking water yet, and it still may not. We got some rain today and have…

Thankful Thursday: thankful for my new editor
There are so many reasons I am grateful for my new editor, after my old editor was unable to take on further projects. I was so bummed when I realized I wouldn’t be able to work with my first editor again. Things turned out as well as they possibly could after finding myself in that…

Thankful Thursday: thankful for second chances
Earlier this year, I got back to working out. I had a good run of using my resistance bands pretty much every other day. Then I discovered Pilates, and started doing Pilates videos from Youtube (for beginners). Then a Church program I volunteer with picked up again. I got asked to help out at a…

Thankful Thursday: thankful for bad days
As it write this, it’s a Monday, and it’s definitely BEEN a Monday. So this week, I am grateful for the frustrating, not so great, uncomfortable, days. I’m grateful for them not only because they teach us virtue and help us grow, but because they are the only reason we can appreciate the good days.…

Thankful Thursday: grateful for refrigerators, washing machines, dishwashers
When was the last time you considered what a blessing our basic large appliances are? I have never known life without them. I can’t imagine the time it must have taken in the old days just to do laundry! I know that here in Louisiana, Monday is still “red beans and rice day” for that…

Thankful Thursday: Thankful for Cajun and Creole food
Jambalaya. Chicken and Andouille Gumbo. Fried Shrimp Poboy. Crawfish Etouféé Red beans and Rice. I grew up around New Orleans, and while I’ve moved away and returned more than once, I returned most recently in 2020 and have been living around that area since. Besides my family, the best thing about living here is the…

Thankful Thursday: Let’s talk about coffee
My sister works in forensics/pathology, and she has confirmed that my family has a gene that means we process caffeine a lot faster than other people. I’m not sure whether I have that particular gene or not. I do drink coffee (usually two cups a day, one in the morning with prayer and one in…
