It’s Hump Day

3 Sounds I’m grateful for….

Does the sounds of no political commercials count? LOL!

In all seriousness…..

The squeaks our Guinea Pig makes when we walk in the room and the purrs when we pet her. She really is such a sweet little thing - I never ever knew a Guinea Pig could be such a wonderful little pet - we’ll miss her when she’s gone - she’s 6 1/2 years old and still acting very healthy.

Nature sounds when the windows are open. We usually always keep our bedroom window cracked open at night just because I love going to sleep and waking up to the sounds from outside.

Listening to my entire family around the holiday table. We are very blessed to have all our parents and that everyone gets along, so they come to our house for every holiday. I love listening to the four of them laughing and sharing their past and present stories. I’ll be enjoying this in 2 weeks.

My kids - being able to hear them
Nature - All beautiful sounds from Thunderstorms to rain
My pets - from my cats to my dogs - purring / barking - or when the dog acts like he’s talking to me
I’m blessed I can hear and I’m grateful I can !!!

1. My furnace kicking in. It’s plenty old and will require replacing one day, but not today.
2. Worship music.
3. Happy chatter/laughter when friends and loved ones get together.

1. The sound of the rain on a day/evening that I can sit inside and listen to it without having to go out in it. I even like thunderstorms.

2. Podcasts: I like have something interesting to listen to on a long car trip.

3. The birds outside my window in the morning—especially a spring/summer morning that my windows are able to be open.

3 Sounds You're Grateful For
1. All the sounds of nature, from the birds singing, to the booming of thunder during a storm
2. Baby's little squeals of delight/their laughter
3. My cats purring

 

[Tink-osophy]

The crunch of a car pulling up on a gravel driveway. ...Ooh, or the crunch of boots on snow.

Wood pigeons cooing (more of a summer one).

Music. Laughter. Music. Laughter.

...My appreciation for musicians just grows every year.

I also give God thanks for my ability to hear.

Three particular sounds I am grateful for are:

Quiet and Stillness in which God's voice and direction is heard
Worship music especially sung by children
Children laughing and playing

Plus, always, being able to talk with my Dad!

3 Sounds You're Grateful For
(I'm making an assumption that music is more than just a "sound" here and going with more... singular sounds?? lol)
1. Laughter, and specifically little kid and baby laughter!
2. The near silence of freshly fallen snow
3. Light rain with low rumbling thunder

Today's Topic (Thurs. 11/10) - 3 Routines You're Grateful For

 

[slo]

Happy 2 weeks before Thanksgiving

3 routines I’m grateful for….
This is easy - I’m very routine, which probably makes me boring - LOL!

My getting ready for work routine - everything is done at a certain time to keep me on track so I’m never late.

My putting up the Christmas decorations routine - I decorate a lot, so I have to have a routine. I don’t want any help, because it messes with my routine. The only help I want is everyone staying out of my way - LOL!

My going to Mass routine - 5:00pm every Saturday. I do my best to schedule around it and if I can’t, then I’ll go to 9:30am on Sunday, but since that is not my routine, it always feels weird.

I have many many many other routines, but the above ones are the first ones that popped in my head.

 

[PollyannaMom]

Routines I'm grateful for -

morning coffee

walking on the treadmill (I save certain shows to watch then as my motivation)

watching Jeopardy with DH

 

[WDWEPCOT]

Coffee
Being able to do anything really - I have a spinal injury & arthritis I’m grateful to be able to do anything Because someday I can’t
Being able to read - got an eye issue I live reading nightly I’m grateful I can
