Use a definition as inspiration for your writing.
A quick search on Merriam-Webster revealed this definition of thanksgiving…
thanksgiving:: celebration of divine goodness
I like looking up definitions because they often reveal new truths and ideas to me. Try to use a definition as an inspiration for your writing. Use thanksgiving or select another word and then do a quick search on Merriam-Webster. (You can use any site, but I’m partial to Merriam-Webster because of their Word of the Day.)

Happy Thanksgiving! I was going to write about belonging but I didn’t know how to start exactly. Then Ruth, as she usually does, gave me a great idea – start with a definition! Hope you all are enjoying family and friends and food today.

Happy Thanksgiving… it has been too long, my writing friends, 3 books, crushing rejections, infrequent blogging, but being led back to where I started with all of you. Thankful that you haven’t ever stopped, Ruth. Thank you to all my other blogging friends that haven’t ever stopped. Thankful that Rehab for my 95-year-old dad hopefully is in the rearview window this week. Thankful for God who sits beside me every day and puts his arms around me on days like this. XO

Thank you for the invitation to use a definition for inspiration. I instantly thought about my OLW and what it means.

I’m not sure I ever reached a point where this blog post comes together, but I’m out of writing time for the day and am trusting that what’s there is what I needed to write. Thanks so much for writing with me each week. This community means the world to me.
