Romance Books '4' Us: Give Thanks for the Simple Things

With Thanksgiving yesterday, most of us take the time to reflect on those things we’re most thankful for. I give thanks for my husband and son, and that we’re all healthy. I’m thankful we have enough food to eat and a roof over our heads.

Son at Hoover Dam

However, I thought it would be fun to list other more simple, even silly, things I’m thankful for, those things that give me pleasure, no matter how small. Here’s my list, not in any particular order.

· The Zombie Apocalypse hasn’t happened yet

· That first sip of coffee in the morning

· That first sip of wine with my evening meal

· Happy Hour at my favorite watering holes

· Weight Watchers cream cheese slathered on a Thomas’ bagel thin (only 5 WW Smartpoints)

· Williams-Sonoma Pecan Pumpkin Butter

· Anything pumpkin

· Netflix

· Dark chocolate with rich, red wine

· Romance novel heroes with their sculpted bodies and lovemaking skills, but most of all their kindness toward others and their willingness to sacrifice for those they love

· Hallmark Christmas movies

· Christmas songs

· Scoring a Kate Spade handbag at a deep, deep discount

· Scoring anything at a discount

· Any day the sun shines

· Girlfriends

· Books, mine and others I love

· My cats

· Mani-pedis

· Sandals

· Homemade soup

I could go on and on but then I’d never finish this blog. What are your favorite simple pleasures?

Take time from your busy holiday schedules to read a romance, hopefully my brand new Gambling on Love Series. All three stories are now available in a boxed set, The Gambling on Love Trilogy, soon in print also.
