I am grateful for many things this Thanksgiving holiday. Here’s a short list of all the people that have impacted me the last year.

Our neighbor that showed us where to walk Flekk (on days he wants to walk.)

My friends at Bryggen who always ask how things are & want to know.

My favorite cafe, it’s no Seattle but it makes my heart warm &
the people are great!

All the trips I have gotten to take this year.

My husband for encouraging me to write my book & publish it.

My bestfriend who keeps my head sane when things go sidways.

For all the people that came to my reading\open mic when I launched
my book.

For all the people that wants to know that Greg & I are alright in the
neighborhood.

The things I am most grateful for are my close friends & my amazing
grandmother who is now going on 100 and half!!

I am truly happy to say that regardless of the things that have gone
sideways recently I have a great support network & that is something
that can’t be replaced.

Happy Thankgiving 2018!!

So, I have been watching an Australian soap opera & the show has become predictable with the plot line. It’s no fun when you guess what will happen to a character & it happens. Lame. I adore the show, don’t get my wrong but the writing is really suffering & it shows on the characters.

Some people may say I am bitching about how all soaps are but I liked watching it because it was different & the plot was hard to predict. I think the moment for me was when one of the characters had a fling with an obvious married character who all she could mumble was that things where complicated. Lame again.

You are sitting there critizing me for watching it, but I am writer & I like how shows show the characters good & bad side & how they develop. How they change & grow but also how they reflect. As I have an aspiration as a fiction writer now that I have published book of poetry I want to reach to other heights.

Oh & Christmas season is already here Before Thanksgiving. Meh.

So, this has been a hell of week, with the new house & me forfeiting something green. Sometimes you just have to forfeit in order to move forward & I feel that’s what I did. It was a hard decision but it weight down by what was going to happen with my hubby’s job I had to wait.

I spent my childhood, & a portion of my adulthood in the US, very many years of stability up until 2 years ago when society started to get hostile & the city we where living in no longer felt like ours. I think I just felt that it was time to go home. Although I have family in the country I hope I can return in the future to a different place than what it is now.

I feel that the country built by immigrants no longer accepts them & it’s sad to see. Even though the soundbites on the news are shorter here it feels sad to know that I now have to wait to see what the next steps will be??

On a Brightter note, this is post 1002. Something I am really proud of. Thank you for reading.
