THANKFUL MONTH...Day Three

 

Today’s THANKFUL word is FAMILY.  

We sometimes take our family for granted.  Never appreciate them for who they are.  

Today’s acrostic challenge is from the two wacky holidays; CLICHE DAY and NATIONAL SANDWICH DAY. 

There are times I’m sick of hearing cliches. They are overused time and again. Some really make you wonder what they mean.  Such as every cloud has a silver lining.  I want to know how someone knows that.  Did the originator of this saying actual go into a cloud to find out.  The other I hated as a kid, does the cat got your tongue.  Now how could that be if the person doesn’t own a cat.  I always pondered the thought who came up with these sayings.  Guess that’s a good Google job for me later.  

I composed the cliche piece focusing on how much they irritate me at times. 

The sandwich acrostic centers around how I personally never try anything new as far as having a sandwich.  It’s always tuna with cheese and tomato; ham and Swiss cheese or egg salad on rye.  I know I could experiment with perhaps a different type cheese with my tuna or even the ham.  Why don’t I try a turkey club or a Monte Cristo?

We all have our favorite sandwiches it seems.  I think at the moment I’m in a rut.  Perhaps next time I’m ordering a sub or sandwich I’ll try something new. Why not? If I don’t like it, I won’t order it again. 

So far day three of acrostic challenge is done.  Looking forward to my next day of doing the challenge.  I’m enjoying reading the acrostic pieces by the others doing this challenge; it is indeed fun. 

Until tomorrow....enjoy the day and as always Stay Safe.

          THANKFUL REFLECTION DAY 3

Today I am thankful for family.  You need not see them every day, but knowing they are there is a blessing.  I feel family is not just blood relations, but blended family members; as well as friends we consider to be like family.  These people are our honorary aunts, uncles, sisters, brothers, etc...today be thankful for Family.

Cliches overused becomes quite trite

 Little do we realize this though when being 

      said 

 Irritating many can become after hearing 

        them over and over 

“Cat got your tongue?” One I’ve heard as a 

       child

How could the cat have my tongue since we 

      didn’t have a cat

“Every cloud has a silver lining”, another that 

       irritates me 

Do we need a day to celebrate them? NO!

And why cry over spilled milk, I don’t 

Yet I do sob over spilled beer and wine, 

    boo-hoo

 So many choices does one have when       

       choosing a sandwich

And we usually stick to our favorite time 

      and again

Never going out of our comfort zone to try 

        something new

Why are we afraid to do so, I do wonder

Interesting experience to try a new combo 

      of meats and cheese 

 Choosing also a new type bread and 

       toppings would be unique

However I am partial to the old tried and 

        true

Does that make me stuck in a culinary rut, 

        maybe so 

All I know I should be diversified in my lunch 

    order

Yet again today I had the tuna on rye 

       toast with provolone
