Three Things...Gratitude Thread

Rough week…

Coming here to Disboards, you help me get through a lot!

Riding my bike and thinking helps.

Watching my fish, and often there are birds taking a bath in shallow parts.

1. Getting lost in a trashy romance
2. Having a snack/meal that I wouldn’t normally have
3. Turning on one of my “comfort shows” and just decompressing a bit

When I'm having a rough week, I'm thankful for...

...cuddles from my cats, who try their very best to make everything better!

...favorite old shows or movies - to cheer me up, or give me an excuse for a good cry.

...the fact that DH is easy to please for dinner. - If I say I want to order out or just have sandwiches because I'm tired, he's all for it, and never complains!

When I'm having a rough week, I'm thankful for -

1. a home to go to be able to retreat from whatever is going wrong
2. a supportive family who will always have my back
3. macaroni and cheese - it's the meal I go to when nothing seems to be going the right way lol!

Rough Week:

1 God
2 Dad

3 All of dear you and other friends and close cousins in TX.

4 Definitely a cozy bed is something I'm extra grateful for then along with books.

When I'm having a rough week, I'm grateful for

My bed!

Although, getting up and moving, often with music, especially outside -- usually gives me a boost.

My family.

Tasty food to eat.

Green spaces.

This thread with so many friendly people and the reminder I get to be appreciative.

@WDWEPCOT made me forget to come back and see the topic today! It's all her fault. She may sing the Rolling Stones, but I'm going to sing Garth, "I've got friends in loooooowww places...."

Rough week:
1. Jammies and a cup of coffee
2. People to vent to - who depends of whether they contributed to the rough week ha ha
3. Peanut butter because PB cures anything that ails you.

Love that song you’re just jealous I’ve got a better band !! Ha ha ha

Happy Music
Funny TV shows
My own sense of humor, that can drift very dark if that's where it needs to go to pull me back to the light.
Thing is though, I can go find others in the darkness too, like a search and rescue.

Rough Times:
1. Pajamas and my bed—instant mood lifter.
2. Mindless TV
3. My DH—he can usually joke with me about even terrible things and make me feel a bit better.

When times are tough . . .

The internet - it provides an escape from whatever is going wrong. I can spend hours traveling the world with Google Earth.

Comfort food - sometimes you just need to taste something from your childhood

My brain - I can imagine myself a million miles away without going anywhere, or find a solution that makes the problem go away

Today's Topic - 3 things you're grateful for when you're having a rough week

A good story - might be screen, might be page, depending on the story and how well I can focus

Any being that is willing to sit near me and just be for a while. No expectations, no sound, little movement, just happily sit together. My lap kitty mostly fills this role these days.

Soaking-be it tub, hot tub, hot springs

A fantastic thread!

3. My DH—he can usually joke with me about even terrible things and make me feel a bit better.

Having someone to joke with/be silly with is invaluable!

Today's Topic (Fri 4/21) - 3 under-appreciated jobs you're grateful people do


@L.K. for today's topic!

 

[nw6675]

Underappreciated

1. Trash collectors!! I love ours. They are respectful and always take care of us. They put up with some crap (pun intended) from trash and people.

2. My walking mail lady. I was sad when they reassigned Pedro (BEST MAILMAN EVER!!!!) and we got a new lady, but she's been pretty good, too. Love having my mail brought to my door, but what a job.

3. Teachers, of course. They deal with as much crap, of a different kind, as the garbage collectors.

Tag. You're it, wdwepcot!

 

[WDWEPCOT]

Anything to do with sewers - those people are Gold Stars !! ️️️ still remember the guy knee deep in our septic tank when I was a kid and thought wow you do this for a living ??

Cleaning Litter Box or Poo scooping - has to be done but no one ever wants to do it

Trash - dont get that picked up for a few weeks and see if you miss your trash person

Taxes - you can do on own but upon occasion you need someone - no one likes Accounting until Tax time

not only we’re we typing same time - we think alike too - Now since I believe I’m older than you it’s nice to know you look up to me I feel a weight to guide you to better music

You are barely my elder, but my DD would say you are more ancient than me!!
