This Is Me--2024 A to Z Theme

My A to Z Themes in the past have covered a range of topics and for 2024 the theme is a personal retrospective that I call "I Coulda Been" which is in reference to my job and career arc over my lifetime. I'll be looking at all sorts of occupations that I have done or could have done. Maybe you've done some of these too!

Awards Thanksgiving, etc--- A Very Quick Special Post

           Where have I been?  Where are my comments on your blogs?   I am trying, but I've been really preoccupied with NaNo and many other things.   With Thanksgiving coming up next week I will probably only get more negligent.  So in case I forget:

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

        Also I wanted to acknowledge some awards that were passed to me this week.   I apologize for not being able to take the time to pass them on, but I am in big appreciation to all who read my blog and especially to those who comment.

This Wholesome Blogger Award was bestowed upon me by Yvonne at Welcome to My World of Poetry.





The "You Deserve a Star Today" Award with my thanks to Ellen aka Ella at  Ella's Edge .  


Thank you again!

    Congratulations Arlee!

    I missed Thursdays post before, but just wanted to say that it made me smile. I've heard of people accidentally putting on odd socks ... but odd shoes! (Good job they weren't different colours!)

    Being in nano, too, makes getting around to everyone a challenge.

    So, just in case, Happy Thanksgiving to you, too! Be safe and have a great time!

    Congratulation on the awards and a Happy Thanksgiving to you as well. Writing during the holidays is a balancing act, and NaNo would keep me from blogging at all

    Yes, I think a lot of bloggers are incredibly busy right now, but it is always appreciated when a blogger lets everyone know why they haven't been around as much as usual. Well done on your awards and best of luck with your writing.

    Hi Lee, I, too, have been MIA. But at least you're writing. I'm stewing. Ponderizing. And haven't been online much at all. Congrats on the awards!
