3 Good Things - Round 4

Desmond1979

Since the third thread of gratitudes is redacted, I'll create a new one;

1. Managed to get a Sunday Lunch, at a local Spar, while supplies were available.

2. Got Manure, off my Mechanic, for growing Spuds; at his Stable.

3. Listened to a Podcast Interview of a Man who talked about Sticks used in Ireland; back in the days.

  • 1. My Autistic daughter and I have had some beautiful and deep conversations lately during morning commutes on topics such as the nature of dreams, world religions, and aspirations for the future. I really appreciate the fact that she is old enough now to ask the big questions and make decisions on what she personally believes.

    2. Fire Emblem Fortune’s Weave is turning out to be easily one of the top three best video games I have ever played in my life. I knew it was going to be a great game, but it has blown me away how excellent it is in every possible way. Honestly? I can’t imagine Intelligent Systems making a better game than this in the future.

    3. When I volunteered last night at a LGBTQ+ group for teens, we discussed fifteen legendary icons of our state. One of the teens announced before we started the presentation that the two leaders are already [my state] icons they knew, but then remembered I was volunteering and pointed out that I am a gay icon, too. Lol, I’m still not sure if I count as being LGBTQ+ officially (I identify as polyamorous demisexual), so I am surprised how much that felt like a compliment despite the teen not knowing anything about my identity. I felt included.

    Well done, you are a good soul.

    Maybe you can be a 'token' member.

    (joke).

    I could say the same actually as I've been in a monogamous heterosexual relationship for 20 years and I do wonder sometimes how to class myself - should we be classed by what we are doing at a specific moment in time, what we have been during the whole of our lives (accumulated), or what we believe in?

    If it's the 1st point, I'm more than one on the LGBTQ+ (graph/acronym?).

    It might be worthy of a separate thread.
