There was a post on FB today where a family was writing on a pumpkin every day what they were thankful for. Something simple. What would you add to the pumpkin?

Small thing’s like a rainy day, a quiet peaceful home and a few good friends.

Getting to talk to my son last night.

The soft light just after sunrise this morning.

@jca2 That’s a pretty big thing.

@gondwanalon That can be a pretty big thing as well, depending upon what is going on in your life.

The simple act of making a cup of tea.

^^^^ @Hawaii_Jake

It doesn’t sound all that simple, I know you have an affinity for things Japanese:

Chanoyu, Sado or simply Ocha in Japanese. It is a choreographic ritual of preparing and serving Japanese green tea

Hawaii_Jake's avatar

I was thinking of that. The Japanese Tea Ceremony is a zen practice of finding meditation in simple acts. I don’t do that when I make a cuppa, but I’m conscious of the possibility.

@Hawaii_Jake Someday I hope to have tea with you, perhaps at Bill W.‘s place.

^I look forward to it.

I’m grateful for the limitless cold pure water that comes from my kitchen taps.

@rebbel The phone app is free Come on, I want to see.

I live on a street full of beautiful cats in a quiet country neighborhood. I have at least three in my yard most of the time. It helps that I have a covered porch, carport and hedges that run across the front side of my home, they love to play and hide in them.

My favorite is Ash, he is grey and black. He will walk with you like a dog and knows his name, he’s not a snobby or hateful fellow at all. I also have another friend who I named Creamsicle, a fluffy orange and white older gent. No one seems to know where he came from and he won’t let me within two feet as of now, but I’m working on it. :D

There’s a ginger kitty (as well as some others).
He’s ‘mine’ now; I took him to the Netherlands with me.

rebbel's avatar

Thank you!
Meep is living with my girlfriend now, in Greece.
She’s ferocious.

As @rebbel is for his feline companion, I’m very thankful for my kitty Katrina, who now occupies my avatar. She’s the tuxedo, with one of her children falling asleep on her back.

I adopted her from my wife, and for that I’ll be forever grateful to her.

When I first met Katrina (aka Roofy, L’il Roofster, Princess Purrsalot), we bonded instantly.
The second thing I noticed about her, was that unlike a lot of other adult cats, she purrs a lot.

Because of her frequent purring, sometimes she’ll simultaneously purr and mew. When she does that, it sounds like she’s chirping. :)

She’s given me some wonderful companionship, especially during these Covidian times.

@Brian Cute!! At first I thought it was a cat and mouse, as the ears didn’t make sense haha!

@rebbel Are yours two males or ? I can certainly see how Meep is a favorite.

My mom has a neighbor cat that’s polydactyl. A huge grey male named Gunther that is very friendly but also deadly. His claws are razor-blades of death. Haha! But he looks like he’s walking on his knuckles, his paws and shoulders are massive. Street boxer.
