Three Things...Gratitude Thread

Good Tuesday Morning :wave:

#1 - Hot Coffee - I’m not a fan of cold/iced coffee. I’ve tried to like it, but I just can’t do it, unless it a Frappuccino and that’s more like a dessert - LOL!

#2 - Hedge Trimmers - As I sit here, looking at my bushes through the kitchen window, I’m seeing I need to give the bushes a quick trim. My DH bought me a cordless trimmer last year and it’s really nice to not have that cord.

#3 - Hats - My baseball style hats to be exact. I have a few ::MickeyMo ones that I use a lot this time of year.

My mom- she's an H name. Barring any additional unforeseen issues, we should get to see her this weekend.

Healthcare- So, I had a little accident on Saturday. I really just cannot win of late. We had just gotten back from OK and I'd gotten out to open our driveway gate (after several floods, I've given up on replacing the motor for remote operation). I opened it right into my ankle/heel. I was wearing Crocs, so the area was fully exposed. After some family help, a few minutes to calm myself, and some quick thinking... I used my phone to get an appointment at an urgent care about 5 minutes away. We got there early, but they took me in immediately. I came home with 9 stitches, 3 prescriptions, and a tetanus shot. So, I'm grateful that these healthcare professionals could help me. I'm also grateful for the ones who've helped with previous care, because I now have better tools and processes to do my daily care at home. Before my prescriptions were even ready, I had a next day delivery from Amazon in place with some of my preferred medical supplies for wounds.

Harmony- Music is so much more enjoyable when there's harmonic depth. One of the first things that came to mind was the Dapper Dans.

I am vertically challenged and use long grill tongs to reach items on higher shelves in my kitchen.

I use old glass candle jars to store things like cotton swabs, cotton balls/rounds etc

I use canning/mason jars to hold spice mixes that I make and use often—a taco seasoning mix, a Greek seasoning mix, a Cajun rub etc
 
Health insurance. I think we have the most ridiculous health"care" system in the world, but I am endlessly thankful to have good health insurance. There is no reason on this earth that anyone should become bankrupt due to health care costs, but here we are. We have good, affordable insurance with premium reduction options and low co-pays and deductibles. I watched DD/SIL struggle for 2 years with a crappy policy that had a required $14K out-of-pocket/deductible before it'd kick in. Thank goodness she is now out of grad school and has a great job with wonderful insurance!

Hot dogs and hamburgers, the traditional summer cook-out menu! We are serving this on Saturday, when we'll be staying at an airbnb near where my family lives. It'll be the 5 of us, my sister, 2 nephews, and a niece and her partner. Maybe even a cousin or 2 will drive up from Massachusetts (although driving 95 in the summer is a nightmare). Gonna have a great time!

Hoodies- I love my hoodies. My hair is prone to frizz, so I like being able to flip up the hood the minute rain threatens. Also, they are so snuggly!!

Bonus... Hamsters. Our current hammie is a miniature named Jingle. Santa brought her to the resident 7 year old for Christmas 2022. Before Jingle, we had Mia (HAMMster... get it?). They are cute little creatures who take a minimum of care and attention- works for me!

Ooh, good one. :thumbsup2 Make gardening so much easier. I may, or may not, just have had to buy a new cordless one because the cord on the old one didn't like the sharp blades. 🙄
A Home, good health, and happiness.
Home! Of course! :thumbsup2
 
Hope: our family needs a lot of this right now. My DH lost his sister recently and now his older brother is not doing well. Prayers, please.

Happiness: every second of this is appreciated, especially the joy our DGD gives us

Healing: where my energy is going right now
