Three Things...Gratitude Thread

[TiggerTrigger]

Duran Duran wild boys 1984... ignore the video... when I left new York and drove to Oregon... I searched the radio for the song and beat on the dashboard

Great song! I remember waiting up for that music video to be released. There was so much hype. It's also one that I have in both my iTunes library and my big Spotify playlist.

Wow .. what a thread that Link is all

So after hours of pondering... I thought I would have my sister do her speech at my memorial service

1974..my brother is 17 and I am 7..on TV is the show Kung Fu and chopsockey is a cultural trend
THEY WERE KUNG FIGHTING ... so my brother and I would Kung Fu on the lawn...he would catch me running at him and he would grab me and flip me in the air.. time after time...he sent me the TV show trading cards and a lunch box...even those Hallmark cards that had music... they Kung Fu fighting

1981 Christmas and my brother is home on leave from the army

I am 15...and he is 25, never had a girlfriend and no one could figure out why until October of 2018... anyhow I dealing with teenage girl angst and my life is void, meaning less... until I found that one song song that promised better days aside and couldn't wait for my Big brother to hear it ... so were riding in the car and it came on. I was so happy for him to hear it " She's got better days aside"...my brother started laughing and I felt hurt and he asked... what did you hear.... she's got better days aside..huh sis he said ... she's got Betty Davis eyes ... WHAT?????... so from that day on every letter we have written to each other... sign off with "Better days aside "

Today's Topic (Fri, 2/7) - 3 elements you're grateful for

 

[slo]

Happy Friday Everyone!

My DH works at the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago and they just removed this huge periodic table of elements. I loved looking at it every time I went there because it not only had the names and symbols, but it also had an object attached to each box representing that element. It was a great way to see how an element is used in a particular object. It literally was just removed about two months ago to make way for a new exhibit that is coming to the museum. All the elements are so important, but here are my three……

#1 - Calcium - For strong bones

#2 - Fluoride - For healthy teeth

#3 - Oxygen - For us to breathe.

 

[PollyannaMom]

Grateful for Oxygen...because breathing.

Calcium/Magnesium/Zinc...which I take every night.

Neon...for pretty signs.

 

[WDWEPCOT]

Calcium - I can’t get enough I take it every day

Magnesium - I take this every day it helps the ward off migraines

Iron - I’m off in low on this so I take this periodically

I’ll throw oxygen in there because we all need that!!!

Copper.... copper mountain in Joshua Tree was the only peak of 4 that I did not climb as a 10 year old .
2009 Goodwill bins of Oregon was selling copper for 50 cents a pound which had a scrap value of $2.50 a pound

Chlorine... from April to October chlorine makes life in the above ground pool very liveable here in Yuma

Titanium/pavane.. the piano Guys music made life very liveable after working 2016 the worst job of my Oregon life ... swing shift.. come home and turn on the computer and they were on play list to soothe me and encourage me to go to work again...and save money to furnished our future Yuma home

Carbon: makes me think of Star Trek when they mention carbon-based life forms
Oxygen and Nitrogen: the air we breathe
Fun fact: Nitrogen makes up a much larger percent of the air we breathe than oxygen. (About 78% to 21%)
Personal gratitude: the day they told me in the hospital that I didn’t need to get at-home oxygen and could be released. I love my oximeter!
