Three Things...Gratitude Thread

[Caseheidi]

Oh, and I must say, I really had to refrain myself from being naughty with my answers today!

 

[WDWEPCOT]

Don’t do that !! You’d get kicked off the DIS no matter how grateful you were

 

[L.K.]

3 things that start with the letter O
Oh boy! (Said in Mickey Mouse voice)
Ooooooh! (doesn't something good always precede or follow Ooooooh?)
Octogenarians (getting my 80 for Brady on )

O Things:

1. October-my absolute favorite month. The weather here is ideal.

2. Opals—such a pretty stone—I just bought an opal ring for my middle DD and am putting it away for her birthday

3. Ophthalmologist—they give me my contact lens prescription and I love my contact lenses.

Today's Topic (Wed 2/8) - 3 Comfortable/Comforting Things You're Grateful For

 

[mumto3girls]

Comforting things:

1. Pajamas as the end of the day.
2. Fire in the fireplace on a night when DH and I are catching g up with the DVR.
3. Warm soup on a cold night.

 

[WDWEPCOT]

Leggings / Sweatpants
Sweaters / Sweatshirts
Soft Cuddly Blankets
My four hundred space heaters I own
Yes I’m ALWAYS cold
I’m grateful I can layer up - place a blanket on me - turn on the fireplace - turn on my space heater and work from home as my boss keeps the office at 65 and I about freeze to death - where I keep my house at 72 and I’m still chilled although the dog looks at me like what the duck is wrong with you ??? I wish I knew buddy I wish I knew Been thus way forever - always cold unless I’m in FL in August then I’m melting heading for the pool !!

It’s HUMP DAY!!!

#1 - I’m grateful for my old & broken in Old Navy Sweatshirt. I wear it almost every night around the house during cold weather months.

#2 - I’m grateful for my old & broken in Old Navy Jean Jacket. There are no words to describe how much I love this jacket. I’ve easily had it for over 25 years.

#3 - I’m grateful for my old quilted blanket my stepdad gave me when I was 13/14 years old (I’m now 51, so this is pretty old now). This blanket is getting thin, worn and has been mended more than once. I use it every night while watching TV during cold weather months.

3 comfortable/comforting things:

The fleece tie blanket DS made me as a Christmas gift a few years ago and the comfort cat who almost always takes residence upon it when it covers my lap.

A mug of something warm in the winter

Soft, yet supportive resting places

A hug from my DS

Walks in the woods (on mostly-level ground, these days)

Fireplaces (especially those at Wilderness Lodge, which cover at least two of my comforts)

A well placed end table

Plush robes

Well-fitting footwear

A cold fizzy drink enjoyed on a balcony with a beautiful view on a warm day/evening

The recording of Happily Ever After available on demand from Disney resort room tvs. I love ending my Disney day watching that.

OK. Having a hard time stopping. I love my comforts! And I'm blessed to have so many

I am grateful for a bed full of fluffy pillows and soft blankets.

I am grateful for my well worn in Crocs I wear around the house.

I’m grateful for the comfortable chair in my living room to watch tv from.

1. The picture I hanging above our bed. When we moved, I could finally have a picture hanging above my bed (we always had a window behind bed before) and our kids got us this picture for Christmas.



2. The group text and snapchat that our family has. The kids are always putting funny tic tocs and memes in there. I think it helps to keep us communicating now that we don't all live together.

3. The blanket I use when I watch tv at night. I even use it when I'm not cold - I just like having it on when I sitting in my spot lol

The squishy hugs I get from my youngest
My super soft robe/housecoat thingy I got years ago for xmas...it's kind of like a fleece cardigan
My pellet stove

Good Morning

Comforting things are a wonderful Wednesday topic indeed. I love so many of your shared answers already. I will add:

1 God! His Presence and steadfast protection, mercy, and grace is, of course, unlike any other comfort.

2 Warm bed, blankets, and of course pajamas. Mornings with hot chocolate and later on warm soup, too. Oh and can't forget, while thinking of food warm straight from the oven! As a p.s. I am almost always cold, too. Extra appreciate comforting warmth!

3 Family, friends, and familiar and even new good and shows. Oh and most of all, Hymns that are tried and true, embedded extra,in our hearts, that bring us immediate joy to hear and sing along to at least on part by memory.

Floating/swimming in a pool.
Favorite sweatshirt
Watching a fire in a fireplace

 

[L.K.]

Well, today I got a real test of what comforts me. Currently at WDW and in between resorts on a split stay. Got call from home that a former co-worker died. Not unexpected but taking it hard, nonetheless. What I really want to do is bawl in private but that's not an option. When I told DS, she mentioned the comforts I listed earlier. Turns out, even with all I listed, I missed a few critical ones:

the sound of DH's voice and

empathy of someone who really *gets* me (like my DS)

My snug
PJs
Hugs

Comfy things

1. The huge, heavy "mink" blanket my dad brought home from Korea when I was young. I think we all passed it around in the family until it wasn't usable.

2. My sweatpants. Yes, I am one of those people. In them most of the time.

3. A hot cup of morning coffee is comforting for me.

So sorry for your loss - I’ve been at the Happiest Place on Earth dealing with sad stressful news not fun ! It’s nice that you have someone you can talk to - I hope you can find a little quiet time later to sit and reflect and process on your own a little - it’s a process it takes time - again I’m sorry for your loss

 

[flyingdumbo127]

L.K. I'm so sorry also for your loss. Thinking of you.
