Happy Sunday!  And Happy Valentine’s Eve!

Since this is a holiday weekend (sort of), we’re going to do something a little different today.  We’re still going to make a gratitude list, but we’re going phrase everything with love. :blowkiss

For instance…

I LOVE that I’ve finally got my father’s family Bible back.  This thing is probably a hundred years old—or more!—& there’s a really long story connected to why it wasn’t in his possession when he died.  But after a wee bit of ugliness with another family member, followed by (thankfully) a meeting of the minds, I’ve got the Bible back.  And not only do I love once again having something that meant so much to my dad, but I know he would be delighted & relieved that his children have it, too.  (Thank you, Aunt Carolyn!)

I LOVE that my Top Secret project is done. Well, it’s completed, but I won’t claim it’s perfect.  It still needs a little polishing, & I also need to discuss it with Editor B to make sure he thinks it’s as great an idea as I do.  Otherwise, I may have wasted my time working on it at all. :crazy

I LOVE that I finished the AAs (Author Alterations/line edits) for HER LITTLE SECRET, HIS HIDDEN HEIR.  They were actually fun, & quite clean to begin with, so they didn’t take me very long at all.  They are also turned in, currently sitting on Editor C’s desk, which means the ball is in his court now instead of mine. (Gotta love that! :tpspspspt )

I LOVE that the bible for my new “Dynasties:  The Kincaids” continuity project for Harlequin Desire arrived right on time.  It is so much fun to get something like that & be able to sit down, see what the series is going to be about, see who my characters are going to be, start mulling over everything I could do with their story, etc.  Yay!

Last but not least, I LOVE that after not being in touch with a friend for nearly a year, we got on the phone & had a lovely, long conversation.

So that’s my list of Valentine’s love & gratitude this week.  How about you? :cupid

And while we’re at it…what are your plans for Valentine’s Day, if anything? :kisses
