A to Z of Thankful Me: P

A to Z Challenge, Day 16: P
P is for Popcorn, my favorite movie treat,

And for Piano, whose bench is often my seat.


It’s also for Photography, an artistic hobby

My dad has developed, and his children want to copy.

    Puppies!!! Personally, I think Puppies Personify Possitivly Perfect and Pure Pleasurable Playfulness! Precious and Pretty, Perky and Priceless, yet a Powerful Presence of a Peacefull Paradise.
    (wow...)

      Wow is right! And to think you are writing all these comments in a language that is not your first! Well-done!

    Popcorn is yummy! I love it as a snack at home, too.

    I love your Ps and I am surprised you didn't include Puppies! For me P is for Plumerias and they have just started to bloom!

      Puppies definitely are deserving of the list, but since I used D is for Dogs and G is for Guide dog puppies, I guess I figured I had covered those bases. :-)

    Yeah, count me as someone else who expected to find "puppy" here. But I do love popcorn! I pop it on the stove with a little oil in the bottom of a heavy pan. And I make THE BEST caramel popcorn you'll ever eat.

      I guess "puppy" will need to go into volume 2! :-)
      You make popcorn the real way--yum, yum! And although I have my tried-and-true caramel popcorn recipe, I'd love to try yours!

Ten Things of Thankful: Last Two Weeks

  Grand Prismatic Spring in Yellowstone National Park, as viewed from an overlook I apologize for not commenting on your blog posts this past week; John and I took a vacation to Yellowstone National Park, leaving behind our computers and, to a large extent, cell phone service. We escaped the outside world and just spent time in nature. Though we have friends near Yellowstone (who we love to visit) we made this trip just about us, so please forgive us if we were nearby and didn't stop by. The crowds were minimal (though we did mask up whenever we passed someone on the trails) and we spent our days hiking, taking photos, and watching geysers erupt. Today, we are back home and back to work, and, in the case of my computer, back to old shenanigans like not letting me import my photos. (I was able to add the above photo by using blogger on my phone, but that isn't my preferred method.) I want to write about Yellowstone and have photos I want to share, but will leave that for another

Ten Things of Thankful: December is Here!

  A small snowflake ornament made of clear melted beads hangs on a Christmas tree The rhythm of time passing should not surprise me--after all, that is our experience here on earth--and yet I find myself constantly amazed at how another week/month/year has come and gone. In a blink of an eye, we are now in December and the Christmas season. I love Christmas!  1. I'm thankful for decorations. The tree is up, lights are hung, nativities adorn the house. Stockings are hung in anticipation of little ones visiting. Someone asked me this week what my tree looks like. I'm a sentimental tree decorator. I didn't even realize until not that long ago that some people have themes for their trees that are anything other than "a hodge-podge of ornaments made and collected over the years, each with a history that brings memories flooding back." At this point in my life, I have more ornaments than tree space, so not every ornament goes up each year. I always find room for the sma

Ten Things of Thankful: Even in Times of Uncertainty

  A railroad switch point on the tracks at the Golden Spike National Historic Park There is a lot I don't know. I don't know who will lead the United States for the next four years (at the time I'm composing this post, that hasn't been determined yet.) I don't know when covid cases will stop rising in my state and start decreasing. I don't know how challenging situations will turn out. There is much uncertainty in life. Living in limbo-land is hard. It's emotionally exhausting. It can be immobilizing. My body seems to think chocolate is the answer, but I know that isn't a long-term solution. What do I need in times like these? I need to REMEMBER . 1. R esilience. People are resilient. I am resilient. I'm thankful for resilience. 2. " E ach Life That Touches Ours for Good." So many people, both those I know in "real life," and those I have only met virtually, have taught me, encouraged me, and been examples to me. I'm thankful
