- Pumpkins. Carving is fun even for a non-sculptor but I also love trying new soups, cakes and other recipes with pumpkin this time of year.
- Successfully publishing of another anthology, What If? This one for my long-time writing group of Ellie’s.
- Needing no air conditioning or heat in the house for a stretch of autumn.
- Friends and acquaintances staying healthy and safe from the coronavirus.
- For those working in services staying safe during this COVID 19 dangerous time.
- Federal Postal Service. Snail mail still brings me joyful pieces of mail.
- Autumn leaves.
- To have the strength to NOT OWN a TV.
- To have the strength to ignore the daily news on line. It keeps me at peace.
- To accept things I cannot change instead of allowing them drive me crazy.

I’m loving the electricity break! TV is overrated! Congratulations on your anthology! I’m coming close to an idea for one.

Thanks. I forgot i didn’t want to mention the new anthology until after the 24th. It needs a final edit, too. It fills my need for something new in these stilted times.

For a big portion of my growing up years, we did not have a TV, and we really didn’t miss it, either. Though I do own a TV now, it is not a huge part of my life.

What a cute pumpkin carving!
Knowing what to do or not do in order to have peace in one’s life is a real asset. Not having a TV for many of the years when our children were growing up was one of the best things we ever did. Although we have a TV now, I find I am perfectly content with quiet times, of not having it on.
#10 is one of those life lessons which if learned and able to consistently do brings such peace.
Knowing that friends, family and others are staying safe from COVID-19 is a blessing.

Not exposing oneself to the ‘new’ and current events is a big thing for me. It has a way of insinuating tendrils of concern and wonder (‘No way, they actually said that!!‘)
I find that every bit of energy I hold on to for a positive perspective is returned two-fold.
