I was meditating on my thanks for Ten Things of Thankfulness (TToT). This is my list.
(1) For the opportunity to observe a bird nesting on a low tree branch.
(2) Rain.
(3) We could purchase half of our weekly groceries, early on Monday, to allay fears of being unable to leave the house because of thunderstorms.
(4) We went to get something which was on a delayed price hike, before the price escalates.
(5) Thankful there was no repeat of previous Booker Prize winner bagging the award for this year. Kiran Desai was tipped to be one of two authors who had better odds of winning, but it wasn’t given to her. Her latest book is full of tropes, superstitions, supernatural, cultural incidents, shapeshifter fantasy, and old world traditions. Finally on Nov. 10, it was revealed that David Szalay won for his book Flesh. I’ve not read it yet but plan to get a copy. Is anybody else tracking the yearly Booker Prize winner?
(6) Thanks for readers for the TToT posts.
(7) Thanks for one more blogger who may participate in next year’s A to Z Challenge, depending on her schedule and availability of time. We have four of us now. The topics are fabrics, topical days of the week, undetermined, and drawing.
(8) Since it has been raining, the distributors selling dehumidifiers have offered a Substantial discount off their product, if buyers purchase a twin pack offer. With all this rain, we need double packs of dehumidifiers. Otherwise, where will the moisture in the atmosphere go? Please, not to encourage mold, fungus, and slime.
(9) Thanks for TToT itself.
(10) I’m thankful for having some time to read books.
