Three Things...Gratitude Thread

[flyingdumbo127]

Good morning!

All body parts that come in two.

Dad and I, an immediate family of two are so blessed to get to go through each day together by God's Grace.

Memories of my beloved grandparents.

Pancakes and cocoa are a tasty breakfast pairing!

Seconding gloves and Christmas socks!

My parents - grateful I grew up with both of them together

And this pair of little Santas that were my grandmother's:


(They are clipped to curtains.)

I collect salt and pepper shakers. Some of them are really pretty, some are really fun. One of my favorites is Snow White kissing Dopey on his little naked head.

My holiday socks. I have at least one pair of socks for Valentine's Day, St. Patrick's Day, 4th of July (which I also wear on Memorial and Veterans' Day), Halloween, and Thanksgiving. I also have enough Christmas (or related) holiday socks to wear a different pair every single day between Thanksgiving and New Years (although I'm not sure if this is something to be proud of or the manifestation of obsession...)!

My kitties... although they are gone now. Potter and Weasley were litter mates, and as DD is an only child, they were her siblings. They were quite the pair, and I miss them all the time.

Socks - I must admit that I am not the best about putting up clothes and pairing my socks. When I find something I like, I get extra pairs so that it's easier to make pairs. Even if it's mix and match with colors, they will still feel the same on the foot.

Shoes - I love shoes. I am pretty sure DH will not be buying me any for the holidays, so I treated myself to some I've been eyeing since June. There's another pair I'm interested in, but I may hold off because I probably will need to replace my joggers soon. In fact, if I get back into distances...I may need two so I can alternate to reduce injury chances. Brooks Glycerin are still my go-to.

Our Girls - They are so different, but I always think of the kids as a pair. DD18 is home from college, but she's in nocturnal college kid mode. So, I often don't see her until late in the afternoon. DD16 is more of an early bird. They've been this way since infancy... one was my sleeper and the other was not. Still, they're a pair!

Books and bookmarks. I use a bookmark a dear friend made me daily.

Minty and Benjy my two well-loved childhood stuffed animals.

Our Houston married cousins are dear to dad and I.

Donuts especially longjohns not filled do not like them filled I don’t eat them very often but my coworker brings him in about once every 2 to 3 months and he also make sure to get me two longjohns and put them on my desk for me

Dogs - life long love for dogs I have had a dog well not the same dog but I have had dogs for the last 40 years and they keep saying after one passes then I’m not gonna get another dog the longest I’ve gone without a dog it’s about three weeks I should say three miserable weeks and notoriously I get another dog and I don’t get small dogs the smallest size dog I have had is about 80 pounds I get big dogs and I’m not a big person so I really don’t know why I keep getting big dogs my current dog is about 80 pounds I should say 80 crazy pounds I told my friend last night I said when this dog passes if I even say I’m gonna get another dog you need to come over and smack me

Decorations - not just holiday decorations but household decorations I love having things to decorate my house with I often get them in themes so that I can do different themes throughout the year when we don’t have a holiday I love going to thrift stores and looking at clearance sales and stores and picking up items so that I can decorate with them I so enjoy doing this I always have!!

Dad - self explanatory
Daughters - self explanatory
Dogs - wasn't much of a fan at 5am when she had a 100+ sneeze sneezing fit

Dreidels - Hanukkah starts on Christmas evening this year. Can't remember it being this late.
Disney Dooneys - No longer into collecting, but love what I have and the friends I've made from them.
Driving - Driving is freedom! Driving leads to exploration!
Decorations - Especially right now, they bring so much joy!
Dinner - While a like a nice breakfast/brunch or lunch, there's always something special about a nice dinner.
Disco - What can I say? I love it. I also adore that Capital One commercial with John Travolta as disco Santa.
Deviled Eggs - Still trying to decide if we want them as a Christmas Day snack. They ruin our appetite!
Deliveries - I feel like we're getting packages every day that will soon be wrapped and under a tree.
Daquiris - The thought of them fills my mind with cruise memories and strolling New Orleans.
Dentists - It's good to have a good one...especially one with great hygienists.

I'm sure I could come up with more, but I'll stop.
