Today I’m thankful for blogging time.

If you have any inclination to write at all, perhaps you can relate. Thoughts shape in your head and swirl around as you mentally format those thoughts into words, then those words into a specific order, and then the challenge is on to find better words. These concepts compound and intensify, and if they are not liberated, they billow in the brain begging for a release.

But there isn’t always time for that release. So today I’m super thankful for days like today, where I can cozy in and write for a while, freeing my mind.

• For November (the month in which we celebrate Thanksgiving in the US), I’m trying to blog about something for which I’m thankful for each day of the month.
