I Am Grateful-November 18, 2012

When I hear music,

I am grateful for Handel’s Messiah.

When I hear children laughing,

I am grateful for Sesame Street.

When I am hungry,

I am grateful for Sprouts Market.

When I am tired,

I am grateful for clean sheets.

When I am sorrowful,

I am grateful for 2 Nephi 8:11.

When I am happy,

I am grateful for my children.

When I am filled with the spirit,

I am grateful for Jesus Christ.

What are you grateful for?

It's write a novel month and I'm 16,000 words into my next novel. It's a middle grade adventure Science Fiction about a boy (Darwin) and the Alien that shows up in his kitchen.  The alien has a special power--but you'd never guess what it is...If you'd like to try to figure it out--here are some hints.

It's something we all do--

Usually several hours after we eat.

It's embarrassing for most of us--

but perfectly natural.

It's untapped energy--

and sometimes, well, usually, smells bad!

What special power does this Alien have that will change Darwin's world?  Post your guesses!
