Three Things...Gratitude Thread

[leebee]

I have a heating pad that is like a shawl that wraps around my neck and shoulders. I just love to turn it on and relax as the heat takes the stress away.

"Mindless" TV. Sometimes when I'm worn down, I like to kick back on the couch and watch multiple episodes of TV shows that require no thought and minimal attention- things like Bob's Burgers. It's mindless entertainment the requires no effort, and I can just lie there and relax.

Doing jigsaw puzzles. Sometimes when my brain is going too fast and I can't relax, focusing on something 'complicated' helps. I can focus on finding the right shape/color pieces and it's like all the other stuff in my brain goes on hold.

Sorting

I'm a sorter too. I hate cleaning, but I love organizing!

Other things that relax me:
a walk in the sunshine
doing yoga
spending time with pets

Today is;

So for today's topic (Fri, 1/9) let's do 3 things we're grateful for in that color range - apricot, peach, orange, etc.

 

[PollyannaMom]

Grateful for crayons - I loved coloring as a kid and still enjoy it now when I make the time.

The fruits that match those color names. I'm enjoying the different fruit seasons as things come into the grocery store from other areas, and looking forward to summer fruit season here.

A particular long-sleeved T-shirt I have that's a bright peachy color, and really soft.

My orange shirts not bright orange just a nice light shade of orange

Dried Apricots absolutely delicious I mean I like them fresh too but I really like them when they’re dried

#1 - MY PEACH COLORED SHIRTS & SWEATERS - I don’t have a lot of them, but the ones I have I’m grateful for because peach is one color I look good in - it goes well with my strawberry blond hair and fair skin.

#2 - FROZEN PEACHES - I love putting frozen peaches in the vanilla protein shake I make after I workout

#3 - FAKE FIRE - I love the warm orange colors that come out of our fake fireplace logs. At a quick glance, it really does look like fire. I use it every night in the winter.

Two Pairs of Brooks - Two of my pairs of sneakers currently in rotation for my daily walks are in the orange family. One is bright neon orange (and sadly, almost ready for retirement) and the other is a really light apricot. I think the color is sherbet.

Orange Marmalade - I've had cookies on the brain since Christmas week. Normally, I opt for raspberry jam to go with dark chocolate dipped shortbread but this year, I wanted orange marmalade with my shortbread. It was super yummy. I shouldn't, but there is still marmalade in the fridge and leftover cookies in the freezer.

Passionfruit - It's my favorite of the tropical fruit flavors. In fact, between MIO and Kroger brand non-calorie drink flavors, I can make POG water. Between MIO's Tropical Fusion (strong passionfruit flavor) and Kroger's Guava vitamin blend and orange tangerine blend...POG water

Afternoon all,

1. Orange juice/soft drinks - orange soft drinks tend to be my go to whenever I'm out (especially on holiday) and along with orange juice, both of these used to be a great hangover cure. Sadly not so much any more but I still enjoy how refreshing they are.

2. Orange chocolate - technically not actually orange coloured but I can't not mention this as it's one of my favourite chocolates flavours.

3. Orange tabby cats - another vote for these. Orange tabby cats seem to have such a nice chatty and friendly temperament, I've never met one that isn't like this. One of my two cats is half orange tabby and he definitely fits that personality!
