Three Things...Gratitude Thread

[bobbiwoz]

Today's Topic (Wed, 2/7) - 3 elements you're grateful for
Oh my, this one is above my pay scale! Still I will try. First I am listing what I easily found

• Earth elements: oxygen, silicon, aluminum, iron, calcium, sodium, potassium, magnesium
• Water elements: hydrogen, oxygen
• Air elements: nitrogen, oxygen, argon, carbon dioxide
• Elements of life: carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorus, sulfur
• Elements in space: hydrogen, helium, oxygen, carbon, neon, iron
• Metals: gold, silver, copper, iron, zinc, tin, lead, nickel

Now to pick!
Calcium is one I take every day for my bones. I am 5’10” and at 77, I still am about as tall as I was in 6th grade when I stopped growing.

Aluminum is one element that is used then recycled into more things, I think that’s good.

Next I will pick two, oxygen and carbon dioxide, because I am a gardener and appreciate the relationship between humans and plants.

Good afternoon to all with a Wednesday hug,

I am not a science lady though when I was younger especially always wished I was naturally talented in it. I absolutely enjoyed as always all of your kind and thoughtful shares.

I also drink water like a so definitely H2O

Bobbi, I am blessed with height at over 5'8"Strong bones are indeed important as I sure have learned extra with my feet issues! Calcium, too, is indeed a grace especially as found in warm cocoa

Great answer to all who said aluminum! Dad and I sure use a lot of foil. I also use plastic wrap.

Definitely the blessing of oxygen and clean air!

PollyannaMom, big hug and you know I am a Ribsy fan, Henry, too! Thank you again for reading some of their adventures with me last year, that was such fun. Rigsby the dog is the pet of Lauren in a children's series called Friends 4-Ever. I had never heard of this series until about 10 years ago. I no longer have the series but I did enjoy reading it a couple times. There was also a smaller known series called Pen Pals. I liked some of those but nowhere near as much as the Friends 4-Ever. Should any of you be up for rereading any favorite kid's books please PM me. PollyannaMom and I did enjoy doing that together last year. I would enjoy doing so again this year. I have some Boxcar Children and some Baby-sitters Club books also the My Secret Unicorn Series.

I asked this in the kindness thread and will here, too. should any of you go to IHOP or Wendy's please PM me. I have an IHOP favor to ask and a Wendy's treat to offer Thank you

Elements

Hydrogen and...

Oxygen for water.

Chlorine. I know it's stinky, but, growing up, it was a such part of going to the local swimming pools.

And I agree with so many of you about gold for meaningful jewelry.

D Things:
1. Our dog—Nala. She had her birthday this week and is 12 now. She really is a huge part of our family.
2. My dad’s dog. He’s only had her a year. She’s a rescue, but she has given him a new lease on life. He takes her everywhere.
3. Daughters—I have 3.

Daniel, my middle ds, who used to complain about being a "D" name when his 2 brothers are "M" names, lol. Now, he is appreciative of being his own letter.

Dogs. I love my crazy beagle but there are lots of other dogs I am so glad to have in my life. They bring such joy to me.

Doctors. As I am currently searching for a new primary doc because we moved, I'm grateful that there are so many wonderful doctors in my insurance plan and hopefully, one will have an opening soon!

Disney parks. Of course!! So many good memories. And more to be made.

Daffodils. A little bit of sunshine in February. Last year I planted 40 or 50 bulbs into a small area of lawn, they are just shoots at the moment, but I'm really looking forward to seeing them flower. (If I remember, I might take a photo.)

Duran Duran

Daftness. I appreciate a lighthearted side.

My Dad

How did I not think of him first? Sorry Dad!

Dreams- Not so much the ones when you sleep, but those lofty... almost impossible... aspirations you work to achieve.
DH- He's got a D name.
Dad- Dad is awesome on so many levels!

 

[flyingdumbo127]

Dreams for sure!
Day by Day is a favorite hymn of mine

[Tink-osophy]

Dreams for sure!
Day by Day is a favorite hymn of mine
Dolores, my beloved late grandma

"Day by Day"... that's from the musical Godspell, isn't it? Lovely song.

 

[leebee]

I guess Daughter and Disney are too obvious, right?

Doughnuts- they are my ultimate junk food and something I try to avoid, because if I have one, I'm gonna want six!

Dishwasher- We rarely used it when we were a family of three, and when it was just DH and me we never used it at all. Now that we are a family of 5? I LOVE having a dishwasher!

Daffodils- While they aren't my favorite flower, they pop up in my gardens early enough in the spring to make me really believe that winter HAS ended!

Extra Newski_Mom on your dad,

Leebee, I am also grateful for doughnuts because my now 100 1/2-year-old friend Sue loves them. When you are 100 1/2 lol you can and should enjoy as many doughnuts as you want!
