Thankful Series: Day 16 (+#giveaway update)

All this month I will be watching on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and my new subscribers for my monthly-0r-so newsletter. If you tag me @JulieArduini and tell me you’re #thankful or #juliearduinithankful, I’ll enter your name to win a copy of my fiction books. This includes Entrusted, Entangled, Engaged, You’re Beautiful and the boxed set of A Christmas to Remember (only available as eBook.)

If you live in the United States, you have the choice, if you are the one winner randomly chosen, of print (except A Christmas to Remember,) or eBook. If you are outside of the US, it is automatically eBook.

I’ll add your name once a day for each shout out I receive (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, plus one total entry if you are a new subscriber to my newsletter.) You may or may not receive confirmation from me for those entries, and my random draw is final. If winner doesn’t respond after 30 days, I will choose another. I’m thankful for you.

I’m sure it’s odd to read I’m thankful for a show that ended a few years ago, but I’m so grateful for Netflix carrying The Office.

I started the show real time, but I couldn’t get past the first couple episodes. I heard it was better, so I tried after a few seasons and liked it, but was distracted by my own chaos at the time. I remember the finale and thought it was well-done, despite missing so many episodes in-between.

Then came streaming. The kids are older and this hasn’t just connected us, but it has been a healing balm for circumstances I don’t understand. Hurts I’m not able to process. Relaxation I’m hungry to find. I find something new in each episode. The writing slays me. It is amazing how they pulled off such an ensemble show with deep characters when they appeared so superficial. It’s such a quotable show. It’s emotional. I laugh and laugh, but there are episodes where I’ve ended up with a headache because I cry (Pam’s art exhibit, Michael’s goodbye, the finale.)

I’ve read things from the cast where they learn how the show helped someone, and I get it. The Office has been a go-to for me all year.

And I’m so thankful!
