Three Things...Gratitude Thread

[Allison Joy]

3 things you're grateful for beginning with the letter V
1. Vacations
2. Veterans
3. Volunteering at my church for kids/youth program (Awana), in the church nursery, and on the worship team

I thought I'd have to "cheat" and "steal" an answer to come up with three. But after looking at the other answers, I am going to have to borrow vegetables as a bonus.

Always good to see you post dear Allison. Amen to veterans! I also just thought of voting and for a merry smile, Vixen (Not the first reindeer that normally comes to mind but he definitely is part of Santa's team )

Today is a day off for many folks, so...

Today's Topic (Mon, 10/13) - 3 things you're grateful for about long weekends

Good Monday Morning!

DH and I have never had off work for today, so it’s a normal Monday for us. But, when we do have a long weekend, I’m grateful for……

#1 - SLEEPING IN - Which is always enjoyable

#2 - GOING TO THE GYM - If I couldn’t make it to the gym over the weekend, then I can go on Monday.

#3 - CATCHING UP ON CHORES - It’s always a nice thing to have an extra day to catch up on all the endless chores to do around the house.

Vacations - an extra day that doesn’t cost you a vacation day

Long weekend to work on projects around the house

Doing something fun with your kids if they have the day off

As a general rule we don’t get the day off and neither do our kids they have school today and I have to work today normally the kids have school today because we have so many snow days so they don’t give them this day off back when I worked for corporate America I had to stay off I work for a small charity now I do not get this day off

Definitely an extra day off from school or work when either applied to me.

At times, a little quieter around town.

Sometimes also a special coupon or giveaway at a store like JC Penney used to on certain openings give out X $ off coupons to the first however many customers. It wasn't that hard to get one

3 day weekends...

Time to catch up on work. (I currently have 38 lab reports, 32 written assignments, and 48 quizzes to grade by next Monday.)

Time to do the things around the house that I put off because of work; I can get them done without feeling guilty and knowing that work stuff is piling up (Notice the list above- but the hardwood floors are washed...)

A chance to run away from real life. (DH, DD, SIL, and I just came back from 2 nights in the White Mountains as my nephew was married at a ski resort in Henniker, NH on Friday evening.)

Afternoon all,

Love a long weekend!

1. Catching up on chores & appointments - I work condensed hours, working a 9 day fortnight so I get a long weekend every other week. It's the best thing I've ever done as it means I can get all my boring stuff like chores and appointments done in my extra day off, instead of the normal weekend or after work. Makes me feel so much better.

2. More 'me' time - thanks to having an extra day to do the chores & appointments, I get more time to spend how i want it - usually relaxing or catching up on things I've been meaning to do for a while!

3. Not being at work - having an extra day off and just not having to be at work is always appreciated!

Good morning

Really wishing this were a long weekend for me! I got back from Waco last night, work has been horrific and I am so tired!

1. One more day where I can get in an above average length morning walk.
2. A day to do some cleaning. I'm not a neat freak and have found that most people in our circles are the same, but an extra day gives me that time to do a few extra things that haven't had attention in a while.
3. An extra day of not rushing and stressing like I normally am on a regular week.
