Welcome to the
Turkey Trot Blog Hop!
Two chances to win!
This is the first blog hop that I’ve ever participated in so I hope that all the people involved have a fun time with it. The more you comment on this and the other blogs between today and the 24th, the more chance you have to win the grand prize of a $50 Amazon Gift Card! You will also be entered into a drawing for a signed copy of my newest release ~
Christmas Kiss from the Sheriff
But this post isn’t about Christmas (despite my book’s title!) this is about
THANKSGIVING!
The more seasoned I get (I like that better than the word “older,”) the more gratitude I feel for my blessings. My father has often said ~ “I’ve dodged a few bullets and been very lucky.” He says this even though he has had some very rough spots in life — to the point that his being here is nothing short of miraculous. I love that his attitude is gratitude in spite of those rough spots. It is my desire to keep hold of that outlook on life too.
Today I am grateful for my roots–the unconditional love and the example of my mother and father and grandparents. I can feel the inner strength it has given me and I can see it in my sister and brothers.
To enter the contest for a signed copy of my new release, Christmas Kiss from the Sheriff, and to be entered into the drawing for the grand prize ~ simply answer the question:
What are you grateful for?
And may you be the recipient of many small 
kindnesses and blessings this Thanksgiving holiday!
Below is a listing of all the authors participating in the Turkey Trot Blog Hop! They write in all the sub-genres of romance, and perhaps you will discover a new author here that you might enjoy reading. I hope my readers will take a moment to check them out and comment on their blogs. Remember ~ it increases your chances of winning if you comment! I’ll post the winners here late Friday or you can go to Rose Gordon’s Website to learn who won.
I am thankful for my grown children who are hosting thanksgiving dinner this year while I recuperate from surgery
Hi Johnna! I’m so glad they are taking over and hosting! You don’t need the stress while you are recuperating! I hope you have a lovely Thanksgiving!
I’m grateful for my little sister Belinda. I love her so much.
Hi Rachael! That is a GREAT thing to be be grateful for! I absolutely love my sister and all the wonderful times we have had. (She’s my “little” sister too!) Sisters…they are treasures.
I am thankful for family and friends and all their unconditional love and support over the years. I know I can always count on them no matter what it might be.
I am also thankful that I can read and enjoy so many wonderful books and “meet” many authors through social media sites/blogs/newsletters. A very blessed Thanksgiving to one and all.
Thanks for stopping by my blog, Patrice. Isn’t it great to meet other readers who like the same types of stories? Hope you have a lovely Thanksgiving too!
I am thankful for my loving family.
I am truly grateful for my family and all the support I’ve had from the people involved with caring for my Mom before she entered the nursing home. I’m grateful for all the loving care both my parents have received from their caregivers.
I am grateful for good health, good friends and an awesome family. Also the good weather we are having here in the deserts of Arizona.
I am thankful for a healthy family!!! (don’t enter me, I already have your fabulous newest book!!)
There are many things to be grateful for. I am grateful for my family, health, home and grateful to be an American. Plus many more things :),
I am grateful to have my mother and son living near me in the same town!
Happy Thanksgiving! I am always thankful for my family… they have always been there for me when needed! 🙂
There are so many things for which to be thankful, from the major to the very small, as long as you are willing to let yourself appreciate them. First and foremost is my family, and going down to as small a thing as watching a kitten play with a piece of fluff!
Family, friends and awesome authors!
