Today's Topic (Fri, 2/16) - 3 things you're grateful for beginning with T
Tom, my dear husband
Teachers who inspired me. Even my next door neighbor children in my youth. We would play school. I knew what I wanted to be even then.
Tennessee, it’s where The Great Smoky Mountains NP is.

T for my brother, Tom who was so devoted to my late mother and to my sister and me while we all cared for mom.

T for Tom Petty. Loved his music before and after he passed. Saw him perform. What a true artist.

T for Texas where my Dad, my sister and I were all born. We lived in Texas until I was halfway through 6th grade and I still have a few family members from his side of the family living there. There is much to love about Texas and Texans for me anyway.

Seconding trips I've taken over the years!

Also grateful when my house is tidy (it's not right right now )

and for the technology I use everyday.

TV: not just sharing time with my husband watching new and old favorites, but using my TV as a large screen to watch all my photos go by, stopping on the videos of my granddaughter, reliving happy memories.

That, is so awesome!

I have something sorta similar with my iphone. I will get a prompt to view a slide show of pictures from a trip or of our dogs set to music. I will share it with the fam and my DD's can't figure out how I do it. Seriously, dumb luck on my part.

T for Tom Petty. Loved his music before and after he passed. Saw him perform. What a true artist.

Yes!

I will usually keep to one theme but expanding here.

Titleist golf - the Vokey wedges and the Scotty Cameron Putters. Amazing golf equipment!

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers - down to earth inspiring musicians.

Thanksgiving in a strange way - Losing my Dad in a car accident in Nov 81' to my DD24's brain tumor removal this November reminds that life can surely suck but we need to mindful of the positives no matter what.

1. Thrift stores: I enjoy browsing occasionally.
2. Trees: we have a lot of mature trees in our yard that provide a lot of shade.
3. Tea: I drink iced every day and hot in the colder months.

Today's Topic (Sat, 2/17) - 3 acts of kindness you are or have been grateful to receive

 

[WDWEPCOT]

The woman I babysat for - she always found ways to get me out of my house ( it was not a good environment) even though she was at the time going through a nasty divorce you never would have known it - she was such a blessing in my life.

A very special friend who I can talk to about “things” that others may not comprehend - no disrespect intended to anyone - it’s hard sometimes when your dealing with a problem that others have never experienced it’s a comfort to have someone who understands let alone someone so incredibly kind and caring

My coworker friend who is always doing little things for me to try and make my day better ( we each do it to each other ) it could be she got me cookies at lunch - ( she picks up lunch for all of us daily ( our lunch is provided by the Company ) or she got me a special coffee - just random little hey this is for you ! We are the two who can’t sit by each other at meetings pm zooms we text back and forth I beginning to think my boss is catching on

You all on this Thread - you are kind and very supportive means a lot !!! I’m very grateful always !!

Good Saturday Morning!

#1 - Unexpected Christmas Gifts - We have some patients that buy me a small Christmas gift every year. Their kindness means a lot to me.

#2 - Parishoners at my church - Almost 3 years we changed Parishes and so many people were so kind and welcoming to us. They made us feel like we’ve been going there for years & years. I’m so happy at this church.

#3 - The lady in charge of sales at the hotel we stay at by DD20’s college - she gave us the school discount for next weekend and emailed me the info on how to get the discount for the future. This discount saves us $100 each night - that’s a lot.

Today I want to say I am grateful that for some unknown but awesome reason this thread caught my eye ( I think a poster I know from another thread posted here and it somehow jangled my brain as I did not find it by scrolling on the CB) and I am on this thread now. It reminds me of the camaraderie and compassion from the breast cancer thread all these many years.

Thank you guys.

I'm grateful you joined us, too, Snappy

All of you each day who gather here in faith and kind friendship. All who contributed to my dad's birthday gift.

Thinking about Sandro, our Sparkletts water delivery man who will be coming Wednesday. Sandro contributed to dad's postcard surprise. He has been a kind person in our lives for a few years now. I have also deeply appreciated his health prayers for dad and myself.

I've been enjoying watching for the first timecin probqbly close to 20 years episodes of the PAX TV Show It's A Miracle. Google and I believe each of dear you will be touched. Warms my heart to see kind news in action.

Happy Saturday dear friends with love.

Today's Topic (Sat, 2/17) - 3 acts of kindness you are or have been grateful to receive



I’m a certain age and limited mobility, and I have often been blessed by others by random acts of kindness. While using a walker, I have had people stop me so they could bend down and tie my shoe that I hadn’t noticed. This has even happened to me at WDW, when I used a cane.

I was younger and my DGS, Jack, was very solicitous when walking with me. I never asked him, but one year we ALL did the Disney 5 K. He stayed walking with me and DH for most of the route.

I have read about so many acts of kindness here on the Disboards. The encouragement and care found here is truly inspirational!

Today's Topic (Sat, 2/17) - 3 acts of kindness you are or have been grateful to receive

When DH switches the laundry to the dryer before I even realize it's done washing

When people hold the door because you're carrying a lot of stuff

Scholarships when I was in school

3 Random Acts of Kindness
1. Just the other day, I was visiting my mom at her nursing facility and was in the public restroom stall. When I came out, the water was running in one of the sinks and a woman told me that she had turned on the hot water for me because it was taking a long time to get hot! very thoughtful
2. For years on our WDW trips, we have always volunteered to take family photos for people so that they are together in the picture. Giving random acts of kindness is truly good for the soul.
3. I grew up in NY and went into the city often. When I was a teen I would sometimes get turned around when I came out of the subway. Someone always noticed my confusion and asked if I needed help. NY gets a bad rap IMHO. When we moved to the DC area, that never happened, yet the newscasters always put down New Yorkers.
