Three Things...Gratitude Thread

:cat: my cat, who is sprawled out across my arm, sleeping

📷 a "three generations" photo of some of the women in my family (taken at a reunion several years ago) - I am grateful for the people themselves, the fact that we were able to have the reunion, and to my DS for taking the photo.

🎃 my pumpkin lights (Halloween decoration) because I love having the colorful lights on in the evening now that it gets dark earlier
 
Happy Monday Everyone! :wave:

Currently…,I am sitting in my kitchen.

The beautiful dozen roses my DH gave me for Sweetest Day

The Halloween kid art that both my girls made when they were little. I hang them on my kitchen cabinets - they are my favorite decorations. I do this with their Thanksgiving and Christmas art items too. Some are going on 20 years old.

My coffee pot - love having my morning coffee :surfweb:


Have a great day everyone! :wave2:
 
Today's Gratitude Topic (10/24) - 3 Things You Can See Right Now
1. my Tervis coffee cup. It's got flamingos on it. Sadly, it is almost empty of the yummy coffee it had in it... ☹️

2. Two computer monitors, DH bought me new ones this summer. :cool1:

3. A bottle of Cerave daily moisturizing lotion. Makes my hands soft like a :butterfly wing...

I noticed that in your photo the other day, and I love it!! I still put up a few things DS and my nieces made when they were little, too.
 
3 Things You Can See Right Now

1. 2 of my cats, sitting on their window hammock, side by side, watching birds outside the window
2. The neighbors dog sitting on their front lawn, barking at the cars passing by
3. Pictures of our grandchildren on the bookshelf to the left of my computer monitor
 
Well, I'm at work, so three things I can see I'm grateful for:

1. I guess first off, my job that I really like (most of the time)
2. My co-workers - we all get along very well and everyone is very supportive of each other
3. My decorated office - I'm terrible and pulling the trigger on decorating and the girls did it for me this years for boss' day. I was so surprised and grateful! I might have even cried a little lol.
 
1. My Bible. :worship::lovestruc
2. My new living room furniture and decor. We redecorated a few months ago and while it didn’t turn out quite the way I’d envisioned, it’s very nice, and having done the project at that particular time really served the emotional purpose of keeping my heart here at home (we’re going through a very tough season).
3. Both my laptop and my iPad (I use the iPad in the mornings). Both are portals to information, entertainment, communication and productivity that I can’t imagine my life without.
 
Three Things I can See Right Now. I'm at work, so these are the things that I am grateful for here.

1. The 3 paperweights under my monitor. Two have multi-colored fish inside and the other one is a glass turtle with flowers inside. They make me smile.
2. My insulated lunchbag that my co-worker got me for Christmas several years ago. I use it every work day and I love it.
3. My Pioneer Woman large insulated tumbler with a straw lid, that my children got me for Christmas 2-3 years ago and I use it for water here at work.
 
At my office…

1. My Mr Rogers bust. Keeps me calm.

2. My two monitors. When I work from home the way I have things set up I can’t use my two monitors as a simple widescreen setup. Working from the office is much easier for me.

3. My can of ice tea. I had a Dr tell me to stop drinking tea 15 years ago. I used to drink 3 or 4 cans a day and have probably had less than 5 cans total in the last 15 years. I’m treating myself today and it is nice.
 
I’m at work too. I would say:

1. Since DH and I are self-employed with no other regular employees and own the building our office is in, I can bring our dog to work most days. She is sitting at the glass door right now watching traffic.

2. My yeti cup that keeps my tea cold all day long.

3. My phone. Keeps me connected to my kids, my elderly dad and DH when I am not with him.
 
I painted all my toes pumpkin color and DD spontaneously made my big toes into adorable Jack-o'-lanterns yesterday, grateful for toes and my girl.
A few years ago DH got me a digital photo frame and it's filled with images that make me happy, grateful for DH & all the memories that include DS too.
We have a lovely garland I intertwined with white lights in front of the TV & I just added a layer of leaf garland on top, it's very pretty to me, grateful I can see this and am able to make my space a good space.
 
I’m really struggling today my fellow DIS peeps very rough time - DD has mental illness and she’s not doing well - please pray

I’m grateful she is alive
I’m grateful for the internet
I’m grateful for the DIS
I’m grateful for my phone
I’m grateful for my dog
