(Wed, 3/13) - 3 things you're grateful for beginning with the letter A

1. Apples - I have one every day for lunch! I like trying different varieties
2. Airplanes - Love flying places for vacations!
3. Authentic - I'm grateful for authentic people. As I've gotten older, I especially appreciate it!

Airplanes since I despise hate can’t stand don’t wanna do road trips I absolutely adore always want to take an airplane!! Often times I wish I could take one to work and avoid all that traffic sadly I’m not rich so I can’t

Awake/Awakened - I know it's due to everything going on in life right now, but the stress dreams I'm having are getting intense. This most recent one would be a real doozy if we ever started up a dream analysis thread. In any event, lately, I've been pretty happy to be awakened by my alarm...or just the sheer stress of my dreams.

Animals - From our domesticated pets and the ones in zoos (especially the threatened species being kept going by the vets and scientists in the mix) to the ones in the wild...animals are amazing. Not that they're always cooperative, but wildlife photography is one of my favorite hobbies. DD17 even picked the zoo as a more unique spot to do her senior pics.

Automobiles - While planes are necessary for some travel, I prefer a road trip. I can't help but think about all of the little random sights we've seen simply because we love to get into the car and drive. Of course, there's also the function of getting around locally.

Honorable mentions to: Art (I have some unfinished business in Florence), Apples (tied to all kinds of special holiday memories with family), Airplanes (I know- I just noted the auto above it), Ama Dablam (it's in Nepal- it's tied to work), Austria and the Alps (favorite part of Europe), Alaska (the vacation I dream of - always good to have those dream trips), and aquariums (I put it separate from animals since it's just a soothing visual and auditory thing).

The Arts: music, art, drama, literature, all of them! I can’t imagine life without them and I hope they will always be valued in education.
Animal Kingdom: I love spending time there and it has made return trips so enjoyable! My favorite thing to do there is to wander the paths and enjoy the animals.
Apps: I am currently watching my DGD at preschool on an app I love checking the menus and wait times on MDE and looking at my countdown on the resorts page.

#3 - Air - Fresh air specifically. I’m having a lot of that here in Florida. The air in NW Indiana is never all that great with all the industry close to me.

I hope you're having a fantastic time!

Almond-I love desserts with Almond in them(my wedding cake was almond flavored lol)
Actors-I love movies
Art-there are so many forms of art and so many different ways to express yourself

 

[PollyannaMom]

Ooh, seconding almonds! I love just eating them, but I'm also grateful for almond flour, which makes cooking for my diabetic DH a lot easier.

And art as well - I'm that mom/aunt/babysitter who loves to do arts and crafts projects with kids. When DD was little, we were the house the neighbors all came to.

Animal Kingdom Lodge - one of my favorite places we've stayed at Disney.

Asparagus. It's always been a favorite veggie, and when we were kids we'd giggle about the "next morning" after-effects!

LOL I still giggle about the "next morning" to this day. And we just had asparagus last night

 

[SpaceMan5]

Air Pods - love the noise cancelling feature, just hearing the music and nothing else

Aromas - my wife's perfume, our dogs (dog lovers will know what I mean), steak or chicken on the grill.

Aerosmith - great music. Dream On, Sweet Emotion etc

Today's Topic (Thu, 3/14) - 3 things you were grateful for in school

 

[WDWEPCOT]

My friends
Getting into the NEW 6th grade wing because it had air conditioning!!! Then the NEW Senior Wing again because it had air conditioning - the other 2 building didn’t - I
literally chose my classes based on that building so I could have air-conditioning - some of you are probably too young to know what it was like to go to school with no air-conditioning ( and some of you are not ) - not fun !! so we would get a lot of snow days a lot of snow days so we would go to school well into June - so from April on it gets hot here and very humid and teachers would often buy a fan but that was on them not on us! School started in late August and it would stay hot and humid here well into late October so air conditioning please !!!
These days the WHOLE school is air conditioned!!! Which is very nice !!

I had one very special teacher in High School I enjoyed his class tremendously and worked for him the next two years !! Very nice man !!

Grateful my school offered program fir Seniors with jobs that they could go to school half days - I only need 1/2 credit my Senior year so was glad I could leave by 11:30 for the day since I had a job !!! I didn’t enjoy school thought it was boring often read books in class - for full disclosure my grades were all A&B - just hated being in school

Honestly, I was thrilled to be done with school. I did graduate from a university with my BA. A few happier moments were in 11th grade when my chemistry told me he was so proud of me for bringing my grade up to almost an A. Third grade best friend. Small private school I attended until I was 8.

Much more positive school or relatef memories are my years by God's Grace as a preschool and school age center (different schools) and teacher along with learning from and with kids at church. Such blessings.

Me too didn’t care for school at all or college glad when I was done
