Follow Friday

Follow My Book Blog Friday is hosted by Rachel at Parajunkee's View and Alison at Alison Can Read. The point is to follow as many book blog as you can and make new friends! As part of the adventure, she gives a weekly question.

Here is this week's question:

Q: It’s Thanksgiving Day in the U.S. so we want to know what you are Thankful for – blogging related of course! Who has helped you out along the way? What books are you thankful for reading?

I'm thankful for all of my fellow book blogging buddies and all of my lovely followers! When I started this blog, I never expected to get such a warm welcome and so many new friends. I love you all, and you've really inspired me to keep up with this! From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU! **hugs**

I know Rachel said only blogging related, but I just have to say this . . . A year ago tomorrow, while returning home for Thanksgiving with my brother, my husband and I were t-boned by a semi on Interstate 80. After moving into my lane, I lost control of the car while trying to get out of his way. When he hit, he hit the rear passenger door. Our puppy Juneau was sitting right there. After being hit, the car rolled onto its side along the road. When we went back to see the car, the whole right side was caved in, but the interior -- aside from the mess of broken glass -- remained unchanged! I am so thankful to God for protecting us and our puppy! It is not common for people to walked away from being t-boned by a semi! The paramedics and highway patrol officer were extremely surprised. They expected casualties! After all was said and done, the only injuries were minor abrasions and soreness. The car flipped on the driver's side, so I was the only one injured. It was nothing beyond what a hot bath and Advil would cure ^_^
