Three Things...Gratitude Thread

[PollyannaMom]

It's National Iowa Day, so if that's your state, please tell us what you're grateful for about it!

Otherwise, in honor of the game, today's topic (Sun, 2/8) - 3 sports-related things you're grateful for

 

[PollyannaMom]

I've never been to Iowa, so sports-related it is:

1) Playing intramural basketball in college. - Great exercise and a fun way to get to know more people in my dorm.

2) Working the score board for my brother's little league team (back when you hung wooden numbers on a big sign behind the outfield fence) because it was fun and probably made me feel important.

3) football party food

Dad and I God-willing by next year taking a Dodger Stadium Tour.

Dodgers primarily but also for a time being able to watch Braves baseball helped alleviate hard times for me.

That sports can be used by God to bring people together in a positive way.

Good Sunday Morning Everyone

#1 - BEING A SOFTBALL COACH - I’m very blessed to have been one of my DD’s softball coachs from 8yrs old - 18yrs old. As much as I loved it, it was nice during high school season, and when she played in college, so I could just sit and watch.

#2 - INDY 500 - My DH is an auto racing super fan and goes to the Indy 500 every year. I went to some races before my girls were born and it’s an incredible experience. One day, when DD22 is done with school, and set up in her career, her and I will go with my DH. I’d like to see it again, but I have no desire to go every year.

#3 - CHICAGO BLACKHAWKS GAMES - My DD22 has been a mega fan since she was about 10yrs old and her love for this team is contagious, which makes us all love them. At one time, my DH used a vendor that had a sky box, so we went to a lot of games and we had a blast. Such great memories! My DH will buy game tickets now, about once a year, so they can have a daddy daughter night.
