Three Things...Gratitude Thread

[Tink-osophy]

I'm grateful for music as a whole. It enhances life in so many ways.

More specifically: -

I'm really grateful for BBC's Radio 1 and Radio 2. From my teens on, they have brought people together through popular music (teens!) and, since, through a wide range of music (charts, pop, soul, country, folk, jazz, dance, classical, musicals etc. etc..)

George Michael. What a voice!

And, it wouldn't be a music thread if I didn't mention the incredible John Williams and his many, many movie soundtracks!

How many of y’all have been to concerts at EPCOT?? I so enjoy those !!

I haven't, but would like to! I love music in the parks anyway, let alone live music, let alone a concert.

Apple music coupled with Apple Car play

U2 concert supporting the Joshua Tree album in the late 80's. Still my favorite concert

Having a very eclectic taste in music. I can jump from around the 60's to today's music, country, rock, R & B, smooth jazz, etc.

Love all the music related shares, thank you all. I also love to hear children especially at Christmas singing to God at church. Related, every summer it is a blessing to be able to virtually listen to a children's camp worship service in song perfornance thanks to a friend's church that by God's connection I have found a virtual home at.

Sweet dreams everyone. Love always.

Music from Disney movies: These are the songs of DD's childhood and my memories. Some of these still get me all choked up.

My son-in-law, who plays guitar for his own enjoyment. I love sitting in the living room in the evenings, listening to him play quietly at the end of a long day.

70s and 80s music, the music of my high school and college years.

Good Monday Morning!

#1 - Lent - starts this week on Ash Wednesday

#2 - Our bathroom - this is the upstairs bathroom, which is mainly DD20’s bathroom when she’s home. I love the purples in this bathroom

#3 - Purple Irises - I don’t have any planted in my yard, but my neighbor does, and I love looking at them in her front yard in the Spring.

Purple and white are two main colors of the upcoming for me Holy Season of Lent. I remember setting many a Maundy Thursday table at church witj alternating purple and white tablecloths in preparation for that evening's worship service and potluck dinner with Holy Communion.

Purple is the favorite color of a family member in Christ to me and my dad.

Purple mountains majesty!

Purple-one of the trinity of Mardi Gras Colors-Purple is the color of royalty, thee other two are green and gold

Purple and gold- Geaux LSU

Purple - Lavender was a fave color of both my maternal grandmother and my mom. Good memories.

The amethyst in my engagement ring(also my daughter's birthstone)
It was my mom's favorite color
purple hydrangea-they are so pretty

1. Everything Prince- His signature color was purple. While I like Prince, I have a dear friend that loves him. She has a lot of health and personal struggles. Everything with him and the color purple brings a lot of peace, joy and sanity to her life... which helps give us more her in our lives.
2. My junior prom dress- It's been ages, but it was one of those classic late 80s/early 90s dresses covered with sequins and beaded flowers. It may be extremely dated, but I still look at it and love it.
3. The purple drink- With Fat Tuesday tomorrow, I can't help but think of the Voodoo Daquiri at Lafitte's Blacksmith Shop. The building dates back to the early 1700s and sits in a quiet part of Bourbon Street. It's a great place to stop and relax after getting past all of the iconic and chaotic portions of Bourbon. Their famous purple Voodoo Daquiri is a must.

The purple coloring of our King Cake
Lilacs
Purple hyacinths and their wonderful fragrance…Mom loved them the most, and they make me smile as I remember!

Good Monday morning/afternoon!
(purple is my 2nd favorite color)
1. the little purple flowers, which are one of the first signs of spring here, on my favorite trees (red buds) They usually appear amidst trees that are still gray/brown and without leaves and always make me feel hopeful.
2. I’ve been buying more purple tshirts lately, as opposed to blue, and I am loving them! (Especially my latest for the Lunar New Year)
3. All the purples in Disney parks , the castle, walls in Epcot, even Figment!

(Mon, 2/12) - 3 purple things you're grateful for

1. Purple was the main color of the university I went to! (my mom laughed that I picked it because of that lol)
2. Purple flowers!
3. Eggplant - yum!

 

[leebee]

Voodoo daquiris at Lafitte's!
Also, I completely forgot that my junior prom dress was lilac! It was VERY early 70s: Lilac lace, lined with lilac lining, scoop neck, sheer lace sleeves with a ruffle at the edge of the sleeve, 3 or 4 lacings of elastic around the middle of the bodice, with a 6" lace ruffle around the bottom. I loved it, and remember it quite fondly.

Fond memories of other purple rooms I’ve had over the years

Thanks for the reminder! - My mom had light purple in our kitchen when I was really little. It was hard to find accessories back then, but much easier now.

4 purple roses left from a larger bouquet. I'm not sure why they lasted longer than the others, but I trimmed them shorter and put them in a smaller vase, and I'm still enjoying them.

The little Dove dark chocolates in my candy dish have purple wrappers.

Purple

Ribena (It's a branded blackcurrant cordial, which you dilute with water. I prefer it with hot water.) (Also, I know that's a picture of grapes, but there wasn't an emoji for blackcurrants!!!)

Purple Rain

Lavender plants I love lavender in the garden (the scent and the color).


Short and sweet today, I'm recovering from yesterday's Super Bowl. It didn't finish 'til 4.45am here and with the excitement I wasn't asleep 'til about 5.30am.
