Three Things...Gratitude Thread

[fla4fun]

Inspired by Pooh Bear . . . and friends!

Eeyore - sometimes you have to look at life from a different perspective


Poohsticks - enjoy the simple things in life



Friendship and treating one another with kindness

Going to the Crystal Palace is a must do every trip. (although way back when, the Winnie the Pooh breakfast was at WL! I think that was our first)
Each of us identifies with a different character: I am Pooh, my DH is Eeyore, and my DD is both Piglet and Tigger.
A quote I found today exemplifies why I am more like Pooh.

"Supposing a tree fell down, Pooh, when we were underneath it?'
'Supposing it didn't,' said Pooh after careful thought.
Piglet was comforted by this."

I used to sing DD32 to sleep with a string of Pooh songs, every single night. She loves Pooh and the Guys, and still has her Pooh stuffies from when she was little. I still will get all teary-eyed when I hear some of those songs.

DD and I have some matching Pooh tee shirts, leggings, and a hoodie. She always wants to wear them when we are going grocery shopping or something. I love that she wants us to dress alike, even at her (and my) age!

Eeyore is my favorite Pooh guy. I have an Eeyore sweatshirt that is literally in tatters, but I can't bring myself to part with it. I also have a set of S&P shakers that are Pooh and Eeyore, leaning against each other. Other Pooh stuff I own are a Pooh watch, an Eeyore watch, and Pooh and Tigger S&P shakers.

In honor of the holiday...

Today's Topic (Mon, 1/19) - 3 thinks you're grateful for starting with M, L, and K

 

[PollyannaMom]

M - my MIL - My own mom died when I was 26, and MIL has always stepped up and treated me like one of her own. I'm so grateful we have a good relationship, especially when I hear stories of people who don't.

L - lights - my night-vision is crappy, and I'm really grateful for modern, easy lights (also, Christmas lights, which I haven't taken down yet, because we all need a little extra whimsy right now. )

K - kids - I'm grateful to have kids in my life. DS is grown, but I'm not a grandma yet, so I'm in my "honorary aunt" phase to various friends' kids. - I pick up one set (the 10-yr-olds) from school on Thursdays, and I do storytime for the 3-year-old's class on Wednesdays. They keep me young.

M- MOM - I am so grateful for every extra day that God has given me with my mom.
M- MIL- I had a good relationship with my in laws. They treated me like one of their own. My mother in law was generous and kind to me. She gave me an example of how to treat my in law children when the time comes.

L - LOVE- I am grateful to have a husband who has given unconditional LOVE since we met as teens. I am also greatful for all the love I get from my family and friends. In the dark moments it's nice to know that I am not alone.

K- KINDNESS - This has become a big thing for me because I have seen and experienced offers of kindness and it amazes me how just a few words or minutes can really uplift a person when moments are dark or heavy.
