Three Things...Gratitude Thread

[NannyBeBe]

Trees -- they give food and shade, provide shelter and homes for animals, and give us such beauty to see
America -- my beautiful country
Cows -- they give us so many good foods to enjoy
October -- such a lovely month

@citruscurtis whats your favorite?

Neither of us can have grapefruit…To Tom’s great dismay.

Well...I over ate oranges 2 springs ago and damaged my stomach and the large lemons I sell 3/1.00....as for the oranges...sell them by bags full

Octopus. They are SO intelligent and amazing. If you haven't watched "My Octopus Teacher," you really should. It's what convinced me not to order octopus anymore when I see it on a menu.

I read "Remarkably Bright Creatures" and I feel the same way!

Tacos - I love them because they are quick easy meal everyone in my house actually likes!
Apple-picking - An activity I intend to do next week with my cousin and her kids.
Cats - I definitely second (third? - whatever we're on) this one!
Olive Oil - I feel better about cooking with this sometimes instead of butter.

Today's Topic (Wed, 10/8) - 3 heroes you're grateful for

 

[WDWEPCOT]

Service Members - all our men and women and service animals who fight or have fought for us - true hero’s

Care Givers / a tireless thankless job that requires a lot of hard work nasty messy work dealing with families it could be fighting that are very upset and they have to take care of the family members some of these people get injured on the job they get treated really bad and they still come back and do their work and we need them so bad and they’re wonderful care

Doctors & Nurses - especially the ones that help treat children but not just children but especially children who are really sick it takes a special kind of bravery to come in every day and treat very sick children that takes a very heavy toll when you come in smiling every day to help these poor kids suffering or dealing with cancer or other traumatic events

Happy HUMP DAY Friends

#1 - MY DH - He was a volunteer fireman and EMT for several years. Even though he retired from that, he still keeps all his certifications active, and he has a lot of certifications - EMT, Officer, Instructor, Inspector and more.

#2 - SROs (SCHOOL RESOURCE OFFICERS) - All police officers are special, but SROs are super special, at least the ones in our school system are. Several of these officers are my friends and they are just awesome humans beings!

#3 - PRIESTS, DEACONS, NUNS - These people are spiritual hero’s. Giving their lives to the service of the church which involves more than people realize. These people have been a hero to so many people and are always willing to take on more. People may argue and want to discuss bad things that have happened with priests and I remind them, there’s bad apples in every bucket of anything, but that doesn’t mean the whole bucket is bad. You get rid of the bad apples and you’re left with a good bucket.

Wednesday wave with a hug to all

Ministers and other educators and counselors including kids, who can be the best teacher.

Nurses last night who patiently tried so hard to get my roommate to calm and sleep.

God willing I will one day get back to a library. Librarians make such a positive difference to so many.

 

[NannyBeBe]

All of our military who stand ready to give their lives to protect me and my loved ones;
My two daughters who teach Special Needs and underprivileged children; and all educators who teach with little recognition for their hard work;
My husband of nearly 46 years, who has always put his family above himself and asked for nothing for himself.

 

[WLWildlife]

Military personnel and their families for their sacrifices.
Public service employees in all sectors because working with and for the public can be very challenging sometimes.
My parents, who worked hard at crappy low paying jobs and did without to keep food on the table, a roof over heads, food on the table, and the utilities on for me and my siblings. To this day they have a hard time treating themselves.

 

[PollyannaMom]

Librarians make such a positive difference to so many.

They are definitely unsung heroes!

Also grateful for firefighters/EMTs

and nurses/caregivers - I'm in awe of their strength and patience!

 

[TiggerTrigger]

Teachers - They are so crucial to growing the minds of our youth, yet they are so grossly underappreciated, undercompensated, and underfunded for resources.

Nurses and PAs - The MDs get so many accolades but it's usually the nurses and PAs that handle the heavy lifting when it comes to patient care.

Entertainers - Unlike my first two, many of these are paid handsomely. That being said, think about what it does for your mood and overall wellbeing to enjoy some entertainment. From movies and music to comedies and art, these creative and talented people provide a service to mankind that helps our minds recharge and enjoy.
