Three Things...Gratitude Thread

[Tink-osophy]

I'm so glad I knew and enjoyed music before streaming. Ahh, the joys of the Top 40 every week; making mix tapes on actual cassette tapes and, like WDWEPCOT said, record stores.

I'm grateful for the many years of the TV show, Top of the Pops. That, and the weekly, Top 40 radio show made listening to music such a shared, social experience.

I'm grateful for Bob Harris (radio DJ) who is, basically, responsible for the rise in play and popularity of American country music over here. Including, the annual Country 2 Country music weekend.

Yes! It was more work than making a playlist now, but there was something fun about it.

Also, car radios, because I hate driving in silence.

And especially my brother, because he's a musician.

I really miss the HUGE record store that used to be at Downtown Disney I could spend hours in there and purchased all kinds of music !!! So sad when that closed !!!

truth! Making mix tapes was a lot of fun. You had to put the time in to record each song unlike today.

1. Apple Music—we have a family subscription. I love that almost anything I want to listen to is available and it is so easy to make playlists.
2. Marching Band—I only did it for 2 years in high school but had fun and made friends.
3. Christmas carols—I really enjoy old favorites and I like hearing new songs as well.

It really was something special when you received a tape from someone you knew how much work they put into it !!

Musicals
Oldies stations on the radio- great driving music!
Certain scores or musical pieces that I remember from DD's dance career- wonderful, warm memories!

Yellow is a bright and happy color of sunshine.

Young at heart. Praying to keep a vibrant, kind, spirit. Youth, of course, in general too. God's precious children.

You as in each of kind you

Y - symbol of unity & Balance

I can honestly say I can’t recall if I’ve ever known anyone who’s name started with a Y yet there are some really nice names … anyone in our group have a Y friend or family member ? Are they a symbol of unity & balance ??


Yams sneaky way to say sweet potatoes still grateful because they are delicious

Yawn - lots of research into this little feature and the issues on people who don’t do it - very interesting reading - I’m grateful I yawn

Yarn - I used to know how to knit but didn’t keep up with it - my grandmother used to make such beautiful items and I still have a few she made me when I was a kid - one happy memory was the slippers she made me every year ! so grateful for her doing it every year !!!

Yellow Sun

3 musics:

1. Disney parks background music and attractions music. Pretty much all Disney-related music! I have very old record albums of the music from the MM Club (original) and an Annette album, and maybe a Zorro one? I just love Disney music in all its forms and have for pretty much all my life.

2. Music brought my DH and I together. Our first “date” was me going to see him in concert in the graduate orchestra at his university. So many of the same passions, Beethoven to Beatles, and many, many others.

3. Singing. can’t get through the day without it.

3 Y’s

1. The movie and songs from Yellow Submarine. This love has been passed down from us to our daughter, and now to our granddaughter who always asks to watch the video “In the town where I was born”

2. Yogurt

3. Youth: no matter what my age, looking forward rather than back is one of my goals.

I can’t recall if I’ve ever known anyone who’s name started with a Y… anyone in our group have a Y friend or family member ?

1) I do know a Yvonne! - Definitely grateful for her.

2) Seconding the color yellow - especially thinking of yellow Forsythia right now, because they are a major sign of spring here!

3) The word "yet" - a big part of growth mindset teaching:

Music-

1. DD17 and her boyfriend’s playlist- Yesterday was prom and both of us were recruited to help DD get ready. He kept the music going and kept it fun and relatively drama free by keeping the conversation about the music we were hearing.

2. Modern cassette players and turntables- some of us still have all of their old tapes and records.

3. TV Show theme songs- I wish we still had them. I can listen to one’s like All In The Family and Laverne and Shirley like pop music. Just the other day, I was watching The Love Boat on Pluto and started belting out…Love, exciting and new

Y things

Yellow- a favorite color

Yellowstone- my favorite national park

Yearbooks- As time passes, the more I appreciate these bound time capsules.
