Three Things...Gratitude Thread

[newski_mom]

CONTACTS - I HATE wearing glasses !!!
Although I wear readers ALL day

Earrings - I have three piercings in my ear and wear the same 3 sets because they holds special meaning to me !!!

candle holders - you know candle sticks - always purchase two ! Unless I’m turning it into a cake stand then I just get one - unless it’s really cute or really cheap then I get two

Have you ever tried bi-focal contacts? I have them and love them! My doctor said that not everyone can wear them though, so might not be an option.

I must be on a spectrum because I’m super sensitive to things and I can’t stand anything touching my eye so I can only wear one type of contacts they are super thin - I can’t wear a torque lens as I can feel it and it drives me nuts !! I’ve tried several kinds ! I’m same way with clothes can’t stand tags they got to go !!!
Although hugs / massages don’t bother me a bit !! Weird !!

Don't feel alone! A lot of people are bothered by light touch, but not deep pressure.

It drives my eye dr insane

I am totally in love with my new pair of shoes. I read an article on the DFB recommending Hoka’s for WDW and I impulsively bought a pair on amazon! Crazy, I know. I had gift card money from my birthday in my account, otherwise I don’t think I would have spent so much on one pair of shoes. But I totally lucked out with the size and fit. It’s like they were made for my feet. I am not a shoe person, but I truly love these.

I also love my compression socks. They help in so many ways and since I started wearing them I have never gotten the dreaded Disney rash when at WDW!

Friends: all kinds, best friends, sister friends, animated character friends, couples. I especially like when unlikely people are paired in a book, TV show, or movie and end up becoming the best of friends or partners. I love the song from The Fox and the Hound about being the best of friends.

Pairs

Well, not an official pair, but the British countryside paired with a warm, sunny day is just perfect. - like today!

Sea Salt & Black Pepper - to enhance flavor (I, also, like the American way of adding both vanilla extract and salt to baking.)

My parents - such good folks. I'm fortunate, I know.

MInt & Choc Chip - in ice cream form.

Pineapple & Pizza.

Macaroni & Cheese.

That makes sense. That lightness of touch can be more ticklish/itchy/distracting. Not always, but I often remove labels from clothes.

Hi Which type of Hoka did you get? Are they good for walking? I'm looking for some new trainers. Thanks x

I think they’re called Clifton 9? it also says Hoka One One. Hope that helps!
Some people described them as “clunky” but I like the extra support. I like the size of the toe box (I think it will allow for foot swelling in the heat) and they have a narrowish heel, which is perfect for me since that is always a problem for me. With some shoes I feel like I’m walking out of them. (I have a narrow heel)

Socks. I love fun socks. Also holiday socks. I have enough pairs of Christmas socks to wear a different pair every day between Thanksgiving and Christmas without a repeat!

Earrings.
Appendages.
Peanut butter and jelly!

Pairs:

My cats

Pairs of pillows on the sofa

And another vote for fun socks

Contact lenses for sure. Love mine.
Good shoes—I need supportive shoes as I have flat feet.
Salt and pepper—simple but effective

Today's Topic (Fri, 5/10) - 3 water-related things you're grateful for

(Broad interpretation encouraged! - bodies of water, creatures that live in the water...it's all good )

 

[mumto3girls]

1. Bath with lavender scented Epsom salts. Smells good and alleviates aches and pains.
2. Dishwasher—I have a newer dishwasher and I love it.
3. Thunderstorms—I like listening to them.

Indoor Plumbing - the availability of water anytime

Washing Machines!! Can’t imagine having to do it ALL by hand like grandma or great grandma used to do

Oceans - nothing better than being on a cruise looking out over the ocean and seeing wildlife - Dolphins Whales Seals beautiful sunsets the waves of the ocean

TGIF!

#1 - My Pool - We’ll be opening it up soon. I’m really hoping for a nice hot & dry summer (on my days off) so I can float in it and read my books.

#2 - Lake Michigan - We live about 30 minutes away from it, and I have lots of great memories of times spent by the lake.

#3 - Hot Shower - I always like taking a shower, but I especially love taking a nice hot shower after I workout.

Good Morning everyone

Clean and safe drinking water and definitely indoor plumbing. God willing sooner than later, the true extra blessing of being able to shower again.

Beaches are places for me of increased faith and fun.

Waterfall's another natural wonder of God's.

Water for "sailing" on Small World

 

[leebee]

The ocean. It's my happy place.
Water balloons and water pistols. Lots of summer fun was had with these when I was a kid!
Kali River Rapids. I can't do Splash Mountain (or Tianna, I guess) as I hate the drop as it gives me a migraine, but I love water raft rides if they don't have a big drop.

I suppose my #1 favorite water thing is indoor plumbing, but I'd imagine this would be pretty high on everyone's list, right? Also my washing machine and, to a lesser extent, the dishwasher (we hand-washed when it was only the 2 of us, but now that we are an extended family of 5, that dishwasher comes in pretty handy!)

1. Our water cooler at work (I guess that's what they're called - the stand with the reusable 5 gallon water tubs on top) - we got it about 4 years ago and I love it. Makes me drink so much more water!

2. The ocean - love being near it (especially on cruises)!

3. Water rides like Splash Mountain - as I've gotten older, I don't love roller coasters as much as I used to, but still love the water rides!
