Three Things...Gratitude Thread

[slo]

Happy Saturday Everyone

#1 - Floating In My Pool - it’s one of my most favorite things to do. Especially when I can dedicate about 5-6 hours doing it.

#2 - New Years Day - this is my most favorite day of the year. It’s my day off from life. Everyone knows to not bug me and to not ask anything from me. I wake up, I go downstairs, I watch movies all day. I don’t get dressed, I eat my favorite snacks and the only time I get up from the couch is to use the bathroom and get food. I love this day and have been doing this since I got married.

#3 - Watching TV Outside - This is a new favorite. We bought nice outside furniture for under our gazebo and also bought a TV. The gazebo has a screen that goes around it to keep out the bugs. I love going out there at night to watch TV. It’s like I’m inside, but really outside - I love love love to do this. I sleep really good after sitting out in the fresh air for a few hours

* Hanging out around the campfire with my camping friends.

* Enjoying a meal with friends from my old community where I get to keep up with their lives and the lives of so many people I know and love. I don't get to see all of them like I used to so it's nice to just sit back and reminisce.

* Sitting back and enjoying my time with new friends here on the DIS. So many people have befriended me and made me feel like part of their group. It's so nice to feel wanted and involved. Thanks!

Welcome to our kind thread, AustinTink. Glad you joined us

TippyThomas, I love how you shared your #3. Blessing to also have you here.

PeopleMover in tne olden days of Disneyland. In a different way the Disneyland Train today.

Leisurely mornings and afternoon naps. These days all naps I am so grateful for and have realized they are healthy for me.

Browsing at the library. God willing I sure look forward to going back to the library ome day this year.

Sitting down to watch tv and falling asleep in my sleeping chair - I thought I purchased a regular chair to go with my couch but I’ve discovered it’s a magical sleeping chair because every time I sit in it I fall asleep I don’t mean a quick nap either - like 4 hrs of sleep

I’ve discovered and allowed myself the luxury of guilt free Sunday afternoon nap - I take a little snooze with my dog not every Sunday but most ( not in magical chair because those are long snoozes - although it would be big enough for both of us it’s huge ) but on couch - this is huge for me as I’ve never been one to do this and always would feel guilty or feel like I should be doing something and then I thought I am doing something I am getting some rest

Cruising the internet & DIS - I allow myself an hour every morning to enjoy my coffee and read my emails / instagram & mainly the DIS - great way to start my day !!! I potty my dog grab my coffee and find a quiet comfy spot ( not the magical chair ) and chat with my friends and catch up on being grateful!! Great way for me to start my day !! Plus SLO poll which I always look forward to !!

Watching TV together. Especially when it's raining hard outside, because it's so peaceful hearing the rain hit the house.

Taking our side by side ATV out of state to go riding with other friends. We love it because we can see all kinds of amazing views and wildlife in some really remote areas.

Getting together with family and friends for parties, bonfires, and watching the Buckeye's football games.

Lazy things...
Doing absolutely nothing at all. Sometimes it's important to just "be." I'll take the time to browse thru my magazine, message a friend, watch a little TV, whatever. Just being.

Reading in the car. My house is full and usually full of happy noise, but sometimes it's too much. I'll take my nook when I go grocery shopping. I get a large diet Coke at McD's and sit in my car, in solitude, reading before going back to the madness!

Go driving. I love to drive and it relaxes me. In the winter I've been known to blast the radio and heat, then drive with the windows wide open, so it feels like cruisin' in the summer!!

Lazy things I love…

Lying in bed on a Saturday morning while my husband and dog are still snoring next to me. I’m doing that now!

Brunch. No hurry, no worry. Not having to wolf down breakfast and run out the door. Taking our time to make something special on the weekends. Enjoying it with a foamy cappuccino.

Sunday drives. We like to drive to the hill country with no real destination in mind. Just a nice, slow drive to see what we see.

Lazy Things...

Watching sitcoms

Lying on the grass looking up at the trees rustling

Browsing the Funny Memes thread!

Lazy...

Me right now! I sat down to my computer about 2 hours ago thinking I was going to log in and catch up on some work this weekend. I know it needs to get done, but right now, I'm truly enjoying my relaxing morning. And I think I deserve it. Yesterday was my bday and I spent my morning getting pummeled with work issues. So, today is sort of bday part 2 where I just ease into it all.

Driving...I am so glad to see that I'm not the only one that enjoys going for a leisurely drive. During the peak of Covid, when little was open and gas was dirt cheap, we'd gas up the vehicle and drive aimlessly for a few hours just to get out of the house.

Hitting snooze and snuggling up in bed with the dog. Thankfully, our dog is not one of those alarm clock animals that demands to be let out at the crack of dawn.

Oh, did you get the HP recordings by the amazing voice actor who has won several Grammys? You can tell exactly who is talking just by the voice he does, a different (and distinct) one for each character!

My DDIL loves HP, so when we went to Universal Florida after they opened HP land several years ago, in preparation I listened to all 5 books as I drove to and from work. Must say, the last 2 or 3 were too dark for me, but I did know the whole story..

Oh, my #2 thing is floating in my pool (#1 is floating in warm ocean water - my pool is unheated so it can be quite a shock to get in and I have to skip it in the winter). And I love watching TV outside, tho we just project it from my computer onto the house wall.

I LOVE BRUNCH!

Also high tea at Windsor Court Hotel in New Orleans!

Ooh, now you are making me think of the wonderful Sunday brunch they used to do at The Crown Room at the Del Coronado!

 

[gardenrooms]

Besides all those wonderful tings so many have mentioned, I love to take a break from everything I SHOULD be doing and read a good book.

 

[flyingdumbo127]

Welcome to you as well, Gardenrooms. We're glad you're here. Amen to reading a good book!
