Home run! And it’s not even time to begin Spring Training for the baseballers! Your inspiring posts to Run To Write are always so welcome, uplifting. You asked what I’m thankful for today?
Here’s a partial list: My wife, Beth. My dog buddy, Izzie. A sense of community with the writers, painters, and philosophers I’ve met on Substack. Hint. Hint. I can’t forget “music.” Of all varieties. Searching this rabbit hole as I often do, I looked for songs other folks consider “Happy.” As I peered here and there, I learned of a 2022 study in England on the effects of music. One eye-popper is that surgeons who listen to AC/DC in the operating room are quicker and more accurate?! There’s not many of their songs in my sentimental jukebox.
Before I duck back into the rabbit hole, I want to state beyond certainty that I’m grateful for all that is Julie B. Hughes. Writer-runner-wife-mother-good neighbor-teacher-inspiration! 🙏🏽
WOW! This is so interesting...AC/DC in the operating room. I love it. My favorite song from them "Thunderstruck" We would warm up to that song in my high school basketball days. :) Thank you Gary.
As far as I know, we did not choose to be born. But since we are here for such a short time, let us dance together in the good times and hug & support each other in the bad times. Jules, the loving community you are building word by word, stride by stride is a true blessing. I am infinitely grateful.
Thank YOU, Julie, for being so genuinely you and for inspiring me daily with your generosity and kindness. I'm looking forward to joining you tomorrow for a writing session!
Thank you for the hug! I needed it. I know Linda is in a better place, but it is hard to let go. Always love your messages each morning. Brightens my day!! Love you!!
Thankful for you, Julie! I look forward to hearing from you every morning!
What am I doing today? It is Dentist Day! Good books to read an discuss with my threes. We will make wooden toothbrushes. We will paint with jello. I will enjoy my kiddos today!
Woohoo!! Happy Happy Birthday to Kiwi! The most energetic and amazing dog I know. :) Hugs to you and your pets today Felicia. I hope you get a moment to take Kiwi for a great walk or run. Thank you so much for reading and sharing.
Thanks Julie. We went for a run this morning and I gave her her birthday toy already. Making a cake after our evening walk. I'm such a dorky pet mom, but I don't care. I love my pets.
Oh wow, I LOVE LOVE LOVE Thankful Thursday - what a beautiful poem - great to read and also to hear. And awwwwwwwwww, the shout-out - how lovely, Julie. Thank you!
I'm grateful for community, for the time and space to write, and for sunshine and the promise of a walk this weekend.
