Three Things...Gratitude Thread

[WDWEPCOT]

That explains why Costco has so few books anymore so sad I used to buy so many books there !!

 

[leebee]

I hope each of you are enjoying a good book right now

I laughed because if we were enjoying a good book right now, we wouldn't be reading the DISboards!

And thanks for the birthday postcard! I had covid last week and was pretty sick for a few days there, so it was nice to have a cheery smile in the mail. I am better now, about 95%!

Healthy Foods-
Eggs
Vegetables - I like a lot of vegetables- not real picky in this dept !
Seafood Not huge fish fan but love seafood !!
I would say Fruit but it’s natures candy and I like to indulge in fruit another item I’m not too picky on !!

 

[WDWEPCOT]

Actually I am reading I just took a quick break while I was on the phone with a friend to check the DIS thinking I won’t be able to finish my book tonight as 3 of my friends called and I’m grateful to chat with them although I would like to read but my body says go to bed

Dear Leebee, you just please take care my friend. I'm so glad you enjoyed your mail. LOL you are so right about that
PollyannaMom, extra hug for you, too, and reminder to take care, my friend.

Healthy things:

Communion with God and being still are at the top of my healthy practices list. The same with doing my best to smile and give thanks for my belief that there is joy in all no matter what. Each moment for me is a true blessing.

Applesauce is something from Sprouts I enjoy daily. I am picky about this brand and form (has to be original and in the glass jar). I do drink water like a whale which especially in summer can be a healthy habit.

Dad and I God willing when I am back to normal will enjoy short walks both in the neighborhood and out on errands again together. Also, of course, while visiting

Sweet Dreams everyone with a hug.

Still the 30th in my time zone, so I'm starting with the book question
1. My daughter and I have a journal that we have passed back and forth for almost a decade. Shes 20 now and I hadn't seen it in a while, but it showed up on my nightstand after her last visit.
2. The Writer's Handbook, because I'm old, and it has been with me since college, and I still use it regularly.
3. The ACOTAR series, this one brought me out of a book slump and reminded me how much I enjoy getting lost in a book.
Great prompt!

Healthy things:

Definitely seafood and fish. Ever since I had bariatric surgery (eight years ago, hardly seems possible), fish and seafood are the easiest for me to digest. Good thing I've always been a seafood lover!

Good relationships with family. I never would have realized how detrimental a poor relationship could be, until things fell apart with DH's siblings. I cherish the relationships we have with my family members, AND the relationships we still have with his nieces and nephews. Having DD/SIL/Resident8YearOld living with us the past 2.5 years has been stressful at times, but overall wonderful for everyone's mental health, and I'll miss them when they are gone. (They close on their new house TODAY!!)

Go to the gym regularly- which I do not do anymore. I have become a frenzied couch potato since DD and her family moved in. Until then, I was pretty regular about going to the gym and riding the exercise bike and read for an hour on M/W/F mornings. It's what fit my schedule and while I wasn't becoming an athlete, I was getting stronger. THEN I became a mom/grandma again and took over the getting-to-elementary-school morning routine so SIL could get to work early (so he could pick up the kid in the afternoon). That shot my exercise time out the window, and I'm too tired/lazy to go to the gym after work (and it's filled with sweaty undergrads who are there as much to be seen as to work out- not my vibe). I am hoping to get back to the gym in September.

Good Wednesday Morning

#1 - Bagged salad - I can’t eat it, but it sure is convenient when I make my DH a salad with dinner. I also used the bagged shredded lettuce for the wraps I make him for lunch.

#2 - My Gym - It is one of my happy places. I love working out, and I like so many people that go there too. It’s the same cast of characters all the time (me being part of that cast of characters - LOL)

#3 - Tuna - I’ve developed a new love of Tuna. I eat it once a week, sometimes twice a week. I make Tuna wraps for lunch - so good!

Good morning friends,

Welcome to our kind thread Targetswife I love that you and your daughter keep a journal together. What a beautiful tradition.

I enjoy books by Robin Hobb and Hannah Rothschild.

John Grisham books.


Healthy Things:

Healthy things…

Long walks- I’m going on 6 weeks since injuring my heel and I’m still in open back shoes. I miss being able to lace up my Brooks for a nice long walk…even if it’s ridiculously hot and humid. Walking around Disneyland in what my feet would tolerate right now was torturous.

Sleep- we’ve spent close to 75% of the last 2 months living in hotel rooms. As much as I enjoy visiting other places, my sleep suffers. As a result, my overall health suffers. Being in my own bed last night had sort of a restorative effect.

Vacation/travel- The other side of that coin are the mental health benefits of getting away for a while. Escaping everything from the stress to the mundane of normal everyday life can really recharge your battery.

 

[bluecastle]

Healthy things:
1. Fruits and vegetables
2. The long phone visits I have with my sister-in-law
3. Walking, although I am in a pain cycle right now and really miss it!!
Honorable mention: any time I spend with my DGD, even a FaceTime call which we just had today. (She is at the beach with her mom)

 

[2010dvcfan]

1. healthy babies
2. good friends
3. good job

I appreciate them everyday but even more so when I meet someone who doesn't have one of them. I find myself feeling more blessed that day.

I do enjoy reading a good book also, biographies are my go to reading the new Tom Selleck right now, and can't recommend Danny Trejo biography enough. Favorite place to read by the pool at any DVC resort of course.

 

[flyingdumbo127]

Welcome to you too, DVCfan2010. Thanks for joining our kind thread

Hug, Bluecastle and God bless your granddaughter. Talks with those we love is both healthy and precious indeed!

Thank you all always for your love and sharing each day. This thread is so important to me because each of you are. I've also enjoyed reading your book shares. It's cool that some of us enjoy the same books. I am in the minority though and am not a Harry Potter fan. Please continue to recommend. I always appreciate a good read

[PollyannaMom]

Mixed nuts - one of my go to healthy snacks

Walking - my favorite exercise

And definitely sleep!! - one of the best things you can do for your health and also one of the most overlooked

 

[SpaceMan5]

Really cool seeing some new ppl here on this thread. As I have said before, this is a great thread for all of us to focus on the positive things in our lives.
