Yes, definitely! Plus (selfishly) I’d love to see you, my friend, to give you a squeeze and add another of your books to the Ohio authors section of my shelf. 😊 (side note: somehow my copy of You Should Be Writing isn’t autographed, we shall have to rectify that...)

Black and white comic by Vaughan showing a dog having ascended the mountain. The wise dog at the top sitting under blanket says to him, "Do not chase the tail, for the tail is already yours."

In honor of #gratitude season, here's a page from A Daily Dose of Now. #happythanksgiving nitasweeney.com/a-daily-dose...
The November 21st page from Nita Sweeney's book, A Daily Dose of Now. It reads "November 21 - 'The longer I live, the more I read, the more patiently I think, and the more anxiously I inquire, the less I seem to know…Do justly. Love mercy. Walk humbly. This is enough.'—John Adams When I get busy, I lose perspective. I forget family and friends. I forget to be humble. I forget to be grateful. And when November rolls around with its gratitude reminders, I might even grumble. But my glass is rarely empty. Plus, it’s refillable— by me! Gratitude can be as simple as toilet paper and soap. Other days it’s a child’s smile or the sun shining through a window. When it’s present, I practice noticing. Awareness builds my gratitude muscle every day. Today’s Practice: Make a gratitude list. Yes, it’s corny. But do it anyway. Write down five things for which you are grateful. Start with the fact that you are breathing. Count toothpaste and deodorant. Do you start begrudgingly? As you write, scan your body. Feel resistance? Notice if this changes as you work your way down the list. What do you feel when you are finished?"

Two images. One appears to be a mound of whipped cream on a clear glass plate. The second photo reveals a tiny sliver of pumpkin pie beneath the mound of whopped cream. This photo series demonstrate the proper way to eat pumpkin pie. Fight me!
