Three Things...Gratitude Thread

[TiggerTrigger]

Strawberry

Strawberry Cheesecake Halo Top - I tried it recently and I think it's possibly their best mix-ins flavor.

Strawberry Soup - Not sure about now, but it was a staple at 1900 Park Fare for the longest time. I didn't necessarily love it but it was a fun sort of idea that the kids really enjoyed.

Crystal Palace's Breakfast Lasagna - Now this was a favorite dish and a perfect bite had lots of strawberries (as well as caramelized sugar to give it a creme brulee effect).

Dad

Fishing - My dad loves fishing. It's not something I've really embraced but I really enjoyed all that time out on the boat and the fresh fish as a result.

Weather - I still don't understand it quite the way he does but I'm grateful for all of that extra meteorological info I've picked up over the years through his knowledge and studies.

Astronomical Interests - His love of things like eclipses, meteor showers, comets, etc. is what got me hooked. I haven't graduated to a big home telescope like him, but maybe I'll get the patience for some more photography.

F

My maternal grandmother's name began with an F.

Fish - from eating them to pretty aquarium fish, I am thankful for fish in all sorts of ways.

Forte - Well, specifically triple forte! I like it when music has these big, bold, super loud sections/endings.

So the scene where he turns Ethel merman upside down to shake out the keys... that was our landlord..she was Ethel stunt and setting proxy...her husband was a regular on gunsmoke and probably dick Curtis proxy... that scene takes place in yucca valley California.. along a busy road.. I was only 7 but the whole community was excited about being in the movie

Today's Topic (Tues, 6/17) - 3 things you're grateful for beginning with the letter M

Good Tuesday Morning

#1 - Mary - Our most holy mother and our greatest intercessor. I love The Rosary and really need to pray The Rosary more often than I do,

#2 - Movies - I enjoy watching movies. One quest I really want to do is watch every movie that won the Academy Award for best movie

#3 - Microwave - You don’t realize how much you use it appreciate it until yours dies and you don’t have one for a few days. This was us last year.

Money I’m not being a crass but seriously it’s what makes the world go round you gotta have it I’m grateful for my job can’t pay my bills without it having grown up in a household with a one parent worker who had a job that depended on the weather I know what it’s like to not have an income it’s not fun very grateful for my job and the money I earn

Memories - grateful for memories

Movies grateful for the entertainment the joy the happiness learning everything that movie bring

Festival of the Lion King... for "F" words!! (OK, I'll slide in a funny story. My nephew's last name is 'Edwards' but when he was little he used to say his name was first name-middle name "F-words!" Cracked me up every time... even though I wondered what he was hearing at home!!)

"M" things.

Mint. I love mint. Favorite ice cream is pink peppermint stick, I use mint in cooking, love a good mojito, favorite chocolate is Andes mints, etc.

Mornings. As I age and sleep less and less (see @slo poll for today), I get up earlier and earlier. I've come to value the quiet of the early morning, the beauty of the sunrise, the "freshness" of a new day.

Mountains. Although I am an "ocean" girl, I also love being in the mountains. They are majestic and moving, and I find myself reflecting on the stamina of the early settlers, to take on a journey across these giants without roads, towns, and directions to get them through.

Good morning friends with a hug. Amen about Mary, memories, and mornings!

Me. I pray by my faith belief to be making a tiny difference for God through my life.

Mickey and Minnie, who God willing, dad and I will see and get our picture with later this year or next year.

Moments that truly each and every one can bring joy and change a life for the better.

Frolic: I just love that word

How funny! I was just telling my girls how my college friends and I used to say we were going "frolicking" if we wanted to go out and have some fun.

Music - A day doesn't go by when I'm not immersed in some kind of music, often for hours on end.

Money - Let's face it, we need it to get by and survive.

Medical - Pretty broad here, but thinking of anything and everything medical...from providers and medicine to insurance and secondary supplies.

Our military, including Marines
Mini-golf
Marinated meat

1. Money - as already said, we wouldn't be able to do much without it! I'm grateful as it pays for everything I need and all of my holidays.

2. Microwave - use it all the time to reheat batch cooked meals and wouldn't survive without it.

3. Makeup - trying not to be superficial but wearing just a little bit of makeup makes me feel so much better and more confident.

MASCOT....stayton high school was the eagles... though there are no eagles in the Willamette valley Oregon... just osprey.. famous eagle MILWAUKEE Brewers Greg Brock and MEIER and Frank model Annie hill

Monumental MOVIE moment...Eric Liddell's quote of Isaiah 40... and they shall mount up with eagle wings... while sharing from the pulpit on the Lord's day...Olympic team mates are failing in their competition ... then later in the week Jackson hands him a note from 1 Samuel 2 :30 at the starting line of a race that Eric has never run......and the theater crowd is brought to tears

Monumental Coast starlight Amtrak moment... leaving South bound out of Seattle morning hours revealing the pudget sound a massive body of sea water from the Pacific Ocean and the lucky passenger may see a Bald eagle fishing or eating on the shoreline
