Focus and Looking Forward

Last month was full of hoopla – big and small, positive and negative – so November needs to be about focus and about looking forward to next year. I'll still pop in, but I'll mostly be on a blogging/social media break until December.

All of us here at TSR are incredibly grateful for so much, including our wonderful readers. Wishing you all an amazing November and a very happy Thanksgiving!

Gratitude, Passion and NaNo

"TO ME, 

NORMAL IS THE ABSENCE OF PASSION.

I WANT TO CRAVE AN EMBRACE,

LOSE MYSELF IN THE TASTE OF A

DELICIOUS PIECE OF DARK CHOCOLATE,

FEEL EVERY HAIR ON MY ARM STAND ON END 

FROM THE LICK OF A COOL BREEZE.

NORMAL?

NAH, KEEP IT.

I'M TOO BUSY 

BEING GRATEFUL AND PASSIONATE 

ABOUT THIS LIFE I'M LIVING."

(Kristin Cast)

Busy being grateful and passionate? That's me! Hopefully, it's all of you, too. 

For the rest of the month, I'm throwing myself into my NaNo novel. I will come up for air. And turkey. And chocolate. And to remind my husband and the tortoises who I am. But otherwise, I'm pretty much on a blogging break.

I wish you all a wonderful rest of the month and a very happy Thanksgiving! See you in December!

Happy Thanksgiving!

All of us here at The Shellshank Redemption would like to wish our readers (those who celebrate the holiday) a very Happy Thanksgiving! We hope you have a great celebration and a wonderful weekend.

Around our place - romaine will be eaten (by the tortoises), turkey will be eaten and bikes will be ridden and a beach will be walked (by me and my husband), and words will be written (by me. Unless I can convince the tortoises to help. If they walked around on the keyboard, I'd definitely get a few more words in there...)
