3 things you're grateful for that start with the letter D
1. Dogs... I mean, I know that's not an original answer, but can I really leave it off, seeing as it's National Dog Day??
2. DASA, the agency through which I've been doing my recumbent triking and other adaptive sports
3. Drama, as in the creative arts/class

 

[PollyannaMom]

I'm going to copy @flyingdumbo127's answer and say my Dad. He's one of my favorite people ever!

I'm grateful I live in Dunkin' land. (Go coffee!!)

And I'm usually grateful for other people's dogs. I enjoy getting the chance to pet and play with them without the responsibility.

 

[flyingdumbo127]

Hooray for caring Dad's and dogs, too

Another "D," is I am grateful for my dentist. His first name actually starts with a D.

Also I am beyond blessed to be a Disciple of Christ!

Dear Friends

Lol haven't been in awhile. Couldn't tell what the topic is..
So just you guys. I went back to work, plus drama here and have been staying away. Miss you all.

 

[Allison Joy]

Oh my goodness. "Dad." Can't believe I didn't htink of that one. So... bonus answer! Dad is definitely someone I'm thankful for. Still miss him every day.

 

[flyingdumbo127]

Miss you, too, Eksmama!

Dogs absolutely especially my beloved late Champ!

What breed was your lovely Champ, @flyingdumbo127 ?

 

[flyingdumbo127]

Here are two pictures of Champ, dear Tink, thanks for asking. May he bring all of you kind friends an extra Saturday smile. He was a wire hair fox terrier.

As a stuffed animal p.s. In the first picture, you can see Minty my childhood stuffed bunny who I still have by a green flashlight. Benjy, a stuffed dog also from childhood who I still have is near the lamp above the stuffed lamb with the red ribbon. Grandma Dolores brought me home Benjy from a trip she had taken to visit family and friends in Chicago.

Other animals have been passed on. God gave me the blessing a number of years ago now of my gifting the two Gund stuffed dogs, one by Benjy and the other on the next shelf to a lovely church family of then two, today three young daughters. Adeline the oldest must now be in her teens! Wow kiddos sure grow up! Grandma also had given me Honey (Smaller) and Yummy (Bigger) She loved them both. It meant so much to me later in her life to be able to give her a few stuffed animals including one that brought her a whole lot of comfort as her dementia horribly progressed. Reminder that small things can absolutely make a huge and kind difference.

D Things:
1. Dad—has always been in my corner.
2. Deb—my sister, I have 3 sisters and she’s probably the one who most gets on my nerves, but we have always been able to pull together when it comes to our parents. That’s a really big deal.
3. Deb—DH’s sister, she really adores my kids.

Lots of great "D" answers so far!

1. Going to have to go with Dad as well - my dad passed away 19 years ago now. I get my personality and temperament from him - so I think about him often!

2. Dipladenia - I'd never heard of them until my MIL said that was the kind of plant she wanted for mother's day. I think they are so pretty!

3. Dancing - I'm not very good at it, but it's so much fun. DH and I go on cruises sometimes and I've told him I want to take dance lessons so we can dance together like some of the people do on the ships. They are so coordinated and it just looks so fun!
