Three Things...Gratitude Thread

Islands - I like islands because they have beaches well most of them do - I enjoy going to islands and visiting them I’m grateful I get to do it

Imagineers - where would DISNEY be without their Imagineers ? Such great creative minds so grateful for the things they Conjure up

Ink Pens - Yeah when I was a kid we never got pens we also had to use pencils and I was wanting ink pens and then my father always got the cheapest ink pens And I really wanted nicer ones And now where I work my boss gets the most expensive ink pens on the planet So now I’m really spoiled!!! So it’s don’t touch my ink pen!! 🖊️ I’m very grateful because I love my pens!! It’s something I use nonstop every day with my job!! Very grateful to have a nice ink pen! 🖊️
 
iPhone - My first smartphone was an Android. It was a huge step up from the not-so-smart phone I'd been using, but after owning an iPod Touch for a while, I realized I really wanted an iPhone. DH is now the only Android user left in this house.

Infielders - While DD16 will occasionally jump into right or left field and she used to also pitch, she is primarily an infielder...which becomes the focus of my filming and photography. Spring season for school ball just started this Saturday.

Islamorada - I'm not much of the beachy type, but this was always my favorite place to stay when we traveled to the Florida Keys. There was this resort my parents liked to frequent. The regular resort rooms were nice, but every now and then they'd splurge for a casita. I haven't been in forever and I'm sure there have been changes, but the grounds used to have little streams running through it and the fish you can see off of the dock are incredible.

Today's Topic (Wed, 1/29) - 3 things you're grateful for that have lots of parts

Another vote for the Kitchenaid Stand Mixer - From the actual parts that make up the mixer to all of the attachments and accessories, it is one of my favorite "small" kitchen appliances.

Everything in my office/gym - I'm one of those people that loves things that require assembly. It's like a giant puzzle that I can eventually use. While not everything in my office required hard labor, I have a desk, chair, stationary bike, squat machine, two floor lamps, and a climbing machine that all required hours of assembly. OK...not the lamps, but the rest were puzzle projects. I use everything but the climber with great frequency.

My old Dyson - While I switched to Shark because I found they have better suction and cheaper in both the long and short run, I loved that my Dyson was like a puzzle. If something was wrong, I could easily take it apart and replace or tweak whatever needed fixing. I didn't have the mechanics and engineering skills to overhaul the motor to improve the suction, so that's when I gave up. Still, before then, it was sort of gratifying knowing that I could personally fix a lot of its issues.
 
....so the 🧩 🧩 🧩 puzzle I put together this morning was a outdoor vendor market... only one produce vendor... first the edges... define by 🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨 parking cones to discourage vendors from parking at the front of the event ...12 spaces... for the customers 😁 😁 ...then I space 50 vendors by solar panels shade parking .... sidewalk curb....and the grass field...all spots are numbered.. except for the grass... they are position by the lines left by the forms in the pouring of the concrete sidewalk that is behind the vendor nestled against the curb .....the vendor on the grass has to hurriedly pull out the parts of their products from their vehicle as they are parked in the space of another vendor.... and I help... boxes of parts that make the market full .....so 🤔 🤔 many parts .. flags.. signs... canopies... weights 🧩🧩🧩🧩🧩😮

3 night cruises 🚢 nice but way too short but still grateful to go !!! Anytime I can go to a beach I’m grateful

3 day weekend- I’m usually doing a project but I’m still happy that I have the time to do it

3 day - holidays - or you don’t do a project and you’re just off work and you just lay around the house those are the best!!!
