Thanksgiving

Over the past year, I have been blessed. I may not have gotten what I hoped for, but I got what I needed. I maintained a roof over my head, food on the table, clothes on my back, anything extra, I see as a blessing. Sure, I would have loved a new car or new furniture, but those things are a list of wants and not needs. When things don’t work out for the wants, there is a reason for it. I know for me, I may not see the reason at the time of my want but in the long run, I realize letting go of it was for the best and in some cases better things came along. Count your blessing for the things you received and for the things you didn’t.

Happy Thanksgiving! May your turkey be cooked to perfection, your dressing spiced just right, and your recliner reclines.

B. R. Almond is the author of For the Love of D. H. Lawrence. She enjoys fashioning suspense designed around family. The intricate emotional attachments mixed with how far one will go, be it to right a wrong, stay alive, or even for love is her sweet spot. And yes, she throws in a little romance. And if she can plug in a motorcycle scene, well that is icing on the cake.

A writer, farmer, and lover of motorcycles, she is from the southern region of Arkansas living the three L’s (Live, love, and laugh). When away from the keyboard, she toils around in the garden, dodges wildlife free ranging in her yard, and always on the search for a place to dive fork deep into great Cajun food. Mostly, she can be found walking in the woods thinking on her next writing project.
