Happy Anniversary to Me!


It's my anniversary today. 20 years. Yowza!



My mother is a forever fan of my husband because he convinced me (read: ultimatum) to stop smoking (I was a high school/college Virginia Slims smoker...bad girl!).


My father is a forever fan of my husband because he sees a bit of himself in my man... namely the ambition and determination it took to rise out of poverty, become educated, and pursue his dreams.



I'm a forever fan of my man because of his utmost devotion to our kids, our family, and me! He's a great guy. His support throughout my writing career--through rejections, submissions, revisions, and everything in between-- has been the thing that has kept me going.

He's the wind beneath my wings. (Hehehehe! Not sure he'd like that phrasing, but, oh well. One thing he doesn't do is read my thousand blogs!)


So, as the new year approaches and I:
I'm grateful for my man, my marriage, my family, and the fact that I spend everyday doing the thing I love doing most of all...



...Weaving tales of mystery and mayhem, and writing them down to share with the world (or with whoever actually reads them).
As 2010 comes to a close, what are you most grateful for, and what are you looking forward to in 2011?

  2. Copngrats on the anniversary. 2010 brought us retirement, a move across the country, and a new home. 2011 is full of promises.
