Since it's already here, Happy Thanksgiving and Turkey Day everyone!
Now here are some things and people I'm thankful for. First and most of all, I'm very thankful for living in this country where I have multiple opportunities and can flourish as much as I want without having to fear constantly for my life. I'm very thankful for my family especially now that we were able to get my Oma Eta (My great aunt actually but she was kind of a grandmother to me and Oma means grandma in Dutch) a new home to stay in and that she'll be surrounded by many of my family members this holiday. I'm also thankful for people like Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, and Jeff Bezos for creating technology and services we can often take for granted but have helped revolutionize communication all over and making our lives easier too. And to all past inventors, innovators, scientists and others who take pride in their work and truly are focused on human flourishing. And I'm particularly thankful for my grandfather with helping me with my Oma (his sister) through all of this with her transition to 24 hour care and my mom and aunt for finding a wonderful place for her to stay. I'm thankful for my boyfriend for being there as both emotional support and for being invested into my writings and work. Thanks to veterans, thanks to police and firefighters, nurses and doctors, volunteers and anonymous people for helping save people's lives. I'm thankful for having a very large family who supports and loves me very much. I'm especially thankful to my dad, step-mom, and sisters for just being able to spend time with them after so long without being able to see them. And thanks to you for following me at the beginning of my very first blog. It truly is an honor to start this.
Now I said I had good news and I do. I'm proud to mention I'm in the writing draft for my very first short story. It will be published on the site and hopefully be more as part of a short story collection of some of my very first works. All I can say is that this story is called Pomegranate Wine and I hope your very anticipated for future news of this story.
I'm very happy to mention this stepping stone in my journey as an author. And for all to have a very Happy Thanksgiving!
