Three Things...Gratitude Thread

[bluecastle]

Summer: good topic because there are so many things I don’t like (heat, humidity, bugs) that it helps to focus on the positive.

When I was working my big 3 were: sleeping late, not having a schedule, and being able to read without falling asleep! Now that I’m retired I guess I may take those things for granted.

Summer birthdays: my DD and DGD’s
Summer fruit
Memories of summer music on the radio and hanging out at the beach. (I grew up on LI and a trip to the beach was about 15-20 minutes away!) I heard Whiter Shade of Pale yesterday and remembered a beach trip when my parents’ friend said, That’s Bach! I also remember hearing Light My Fire almost every day. Summer music memories are the best!

Thank you all for the prayers and well wishes. I really appreciate them as I sit and wait for my doctor to call me back after sending him a photo of how the healing is going. I may have to go back and get re-bandaged, or just give it more time. thanks again!

SUMMER
Everywhere is greener
Summer Fruits
Summer music (especially from teenage summers!)
Relaxed, light evenings
...And it's quicker to go out - no time taken wrapping up in layers. (Well, usually! June has been unusually cold this year,even had the central heating on a couple of times. )

Sweet dreams thread save. I may have shared this before but two shows I think all of lovely you would enjoy are On the Road with Steve Hartman and The Uplift. Stories of everyday kindness. Thank each of you always for all the faith and care you spread!

 

[WDWEPCOT]

I do enjoy those Steve Hartman stories !! Every Friday on the news they play one ! Always a very touching story !!

Today's Topic (Fri, 6/21) - 3 things with wheels you're grateful for

 

[slo]

TGIF

#1 - Our Cars - I’m very grateful that we are blessed with good and reliable cars.

#2 - Our Kitchen Chairs - I like having kitchen chairs with wheels

#3 - Our New TV Stand - Very glad that the TV stand for our outside TV has wheels. Makes it easy for me to move it every night to put under the gazebo to protect it from rain.

I'm so glad dear WDWEPCOT

Good Morning also to all of you kind friends

Grace of God I sure have been extra grateful for my walker as it helps me recover daily.

Dad and I are blessed to have two safe cars.

By this recliner chair I have a small wooden storage cart with a drawer on door with shelf from Ikea on wheels that has been so handy!

 

[newski_mom]

1. Cars - We live in a small town and basically have to drive everywhere. So thankful for our cars to get us around!

2. Luggage - So thankful that we don't have to carry our suitcases everywhere anymore!

3. DH's wheel - he runs the lawn care department at our company so uses this wheel to walk and measure lawns. We end up using it to measure other things too. When he retires, we'll probably have to buy one to have at home lol!

WHEELS They're wheely helpful!

Shopping Carts
Our very handy sack truck and wheelbarrow
Bikes
Trains and monorails
The wheels on the portable dehumidifier
And cars!

I might have said pizza wheels, but I tend to use long-bladed scissors these days.

Wheels . . .

My car

My luggage cart (it can hold 300lbs and runs smooth as silk - a must have for this overpacker)

The fridge (getting the old one out and the new one in)

 

[bluecastle]

Wheels:
All the Subarus we’ve owned over the years, especially my 2004 (still running) that very possibly saved our DD’s life when she was a new driver.

The wheels on my storage containers which make them much easier to move around.

A sentimental choice, my first “wheels” that I bought with my own money, a 1971 VW bug. I learned to drive a stick shift the day I bought it.

 

[TiggerTrigger]

Rental van- we’re going on 3 weeks of my vehicle being in the shop for all of the tree damage repairs. DHs brand new truck is also in the shop because the CEL came on and nobody can figure out why. His loaner is a tiny Jeep that has all kinds of restrictions. So the rental minivan I was put in has been a real blessing.

Wagon wheels- I think nearly every sport parent has a wagon. Ours helps us with everything from chairs and bleacher seats to mini coolers and fans.

Barn door wheels- I love the look and love that we have doors on wheels. The master has a traditional wooden barn door and one of the glass shower doors is barn door style.

 

[WDWEPCOT]

Car of course
Luggage - best thing ever !!!!!!!
Dolly - or Cart - anything I can use to move bulky items !!!!
Bonus - any appliance that has good set working wheels as far as I’m concerned ALL should have wheels so I can move them and clean and move them back !! AND put longer hoses and cords on them !!!!’ If you expect me to clean vents / coils etc then make it easy for me to get at them mr muscle man I am not !!!

Another vote for cars

Roller skates/blades (I used to skate a lot when I was a kid.)

The turntable in my microwave has tiny little wheels.

The turntable in my microwave has tiny little wheels.

This made me remember the first microwave we got when I was a kid - we had to rotate the plate after so much time so that it would cook evenly because there was not a rotating turntable in it! Definitely grateful for those little wheels!

Ì just noticed the wheels on my bed's box spring. God willing sooner than later I will be able to normally sleep in my bed again. I also am so looking forward to the blessing of helping my dad get a desperately needed new bed. I gave him money toward a new bed last year and am secretly saving more. Dad's current bed is horrible. I also gave him.the money for it 21 years ago in 2003! High time to replace it. Dad throughout my feet trouble along with his own and other health stuff has done and overcome by the sheer grace of God so much. It will mean so much to me to know he has a more comfortable place to sleep

Today's Topic (Sat, 6/22) - 3 things in nature you're grateful for

 

[flyingdumbo127]

All of God's beautiful world especially quiet beaches, blue skies, fresh flowers, and Christmas trees.

Blessing extra God willing of sooner than later being able to easily and in health go outside again.

Star filled skies.
