Three Things...Gratitude Thread

Hug WDWEPCOT. Amen to Sunshine. Syrup on pancakes and our friend, Slo, of course, too

I have not heard that term used here in Yuma foothills...we have two flocks that I know of... one at church solar parking structure and one down the street bordering the desert... I thought they were domestic birds at one time... how many mourning doves do you have in yard at one time....we have 6 varieties

I see both Mourning Doves and White-Winged Doves in my yard, although not nearly so many as I used to see. I used to have 30 or more each day; now there are maybe six or eight. I love the "who cooks for you" call of the White-Winged Doves.

My dearest friend, S
Seafood -- I will eat anything from the ocean
Sugar -- to add a little sweetness to our world

I have one brother. We don’t talk all the time but we’re on friendly terms.

1. Vehicles- my brother is a car enthusiast and while his tastes are far more speed and classic oriented than mine, he is a great resource whenever I need to car shop.

2. Disney- Like my parents, he and his family also live in Florida. Whenever we go it’s common for him to join us. So it’s nice to still be making Disney memories with him in adulthood.

3. Parent Celebration Coordination- While sometimes my parents are also involved, it’s common for my brother and I to work together to celebrate our parents for milestone anniversaries and birthdays. It’s crazy to think that we sent our parents on their very first cruise nearly 3 decades ago. Now they cruise at least a handful of times each year (on their own dime). Also kind of fitting that we all cruised together several years ago to celebrate their 50th anniversary.

Afternoon all,

I'm actually struggling to think of anything for yesterday's unexpected things, I probably have some I just can't bring any to mind right now!

And I'll go with S things today, as I'm not my brother's biggest fan...

1. Summer (and sunshine) - another vote for these. My favourite season and my favourite type of weather. Always feel better when the sun is shining.

2. Sweet treats - I have a huge sweet tooth and love anything sweet and sugary, from cakes to chocolate to biscuits and desserts. I'm really not fussy. Always need a sweet treat every day, even a small one!

3. Sunglasses - we're getting into the time of year where it's nice enough to carry sunglasses around most days and I really do adore mine. I've had a pair of Raybans for years and I'd be devastated if I ever broke or lost them!

I'm actually struggling to think of anything for yesterday's unexpected things, I probably have some I just can't bring any to mind right now!

I was too!

I'm going to go with:

a particular Disney trip when we had amazingly good luck with new ride lines opening just as we were walking up to them

times when an already-planned trip to visit family corresponded with community events also happening there

when the sun comes out for a little bit on a rainy day

Always feel better when the sun is shining.

Definitely!!


I'm doing siblings day because I am very lucky in the brother department! I'm grateful that:

... he does so much for our Dad! (He lives close and I am many states away, so most things fall on him.)

... he is my guru for all things music.

... he picked out a nice sister-in-law for me.

My sister, who is 16 months younger than I am, and I had very little in common growing up. We still don't, but we've gotten better at not judging each other. We talk occasionally on the phone, and when we do, or conversations are good. I especially appreciated her when our parents died 4 months apart. Sharing memories of not growing up in a very loving household gives us a bond that I am grateful for.
I am actually much closer to my sister-in-law. We can talk on the phone for hours and our gift to each other is listening and caring.

Inspired by the "Yellow Submarine" in the picture...

Today's Topic (Sat, 4/11) - 3 things you're grateful for connected by a song title

(So for the above, that would be 3 yellow things, or 3 underwater things - but feel free to substitute your own song of choice!)

Happy Saturday Everyone!

#1 - MY DANGLING JIMINY CRICKET - I have had a Jiminy Cricket dangling from my review mirror for over 20 years. He’s connected to my favorite Disney song - When You Wish Upon A Star. This is why the Wishes fireworks show will ALWAYS be my favorite

#2 - MY RINGTONE FOR DH - It’s the song Chelsea Dagger which is connected to The Chicago Blackhawks. This is the teams official goal song, and every time I hear it, I’m flooded with wonderful memories of all the times we’d go to Blackhawks games with either the two of us or an entire family.

#3 - MY DD22’s RINGTONE - It’s the song When Can I See You Again? which is connected to Wreck It Ralph (I love this movie!). This song is such an appropriate ringtone for my DD22 because when she leaves I’m already wondering when I can see her again, regardless if it’s in person or FaceTime.

Jesus, my Savior. When Love Was Born. By my faith belief, God, is Love.

I did prefer the original (yellow) submarine ride at Disneyland to Nemo.

Bless the Broken Road by Rascal Flatts
Can You Feel the Love Tonight by Elton John
Life Is A Highway by Rascal Flatts
Time of Your Life by Randy Newman
You Got a Friend in Me by Randy Newman

Sooo many more!
These are all songs that connect me to my kids and DH. What I am most greatful for in life are the people that God has blessed me with.

Afternoon all,

So today I'm going for the 3 songs that are all connected by the fact that whenever I hear them, they never fail to make me smile and make me happy, uplifted and motivated (great for exercise!):

1. The Killers - Mr Brightside
2. Coldplay - A Sky Full of Stars
3. Robyn - Dancing On My Own
