I cannot ignore these very important three “things” I am grateful for. They are:
1 Jim, my eldest brother
2. John, my older brother
And last but certainly not least:
3. Peggy, my younger sister.
First of all I am very lucky to have just three siblings because these posts are supposed to be about three things I am grateful for each day, and if I had a fourth sibling I am sure I would be thankful for them too, but it would mess up the whole balance of this challenge (even though I realize I cheated yesterday and just used a quote—but it was a busy day.)
I am seriously lucky to have these three people in my life. I know that not everyone is as fortunate as I am – you cannot choose your brothers and sisters, but I would choose these three without a second thought. I know at least two of them are going to read this and I don’t want to embarrass them too much – but guys—I do not know what I would do without you. You are there for me every step of the way and I know that I could ask any one of you anything and you would do it for me. And I for you. Okay, enough – one can only get so maudlin without the gag reflex factoring in.
I simply could not do a grateful challenge without listing three of the most important people in my life other than the three I listed in an earlier post (my husband and sons). It just would not be complete.

How conevenient!
Love the 3 stooges!
they are not to be confused with my siblings – none of them resemble a stooge — it was the word sappy that I was going for
So you say, but the image is there.
are you trying to get me in trouble — I can delete the pic
only one man’s opinion. however, I think you may have gotten yourself in trouble.
Again, I love the stooges! However, I am not insinuating that they are my relatives.
you are a funny guy
Thank you.
Ahhhhhh Lou, I feel blessed, thank you.
I could have gone into much more detail but did not want to embarass you too much – love ya
Not sappy or soppy – just lovely.
thank you – they all deserve my gratitude
Now that, is very well done sappy.
Thank you so much — it is true too
With two sisters, I totally get that there’s only so much sap we can let out until the gag reflex kicks in. That being said, this was totally the right amount of sap.
thank you – don’t want to go over the top – as siblings we have just started hugging and we are awkward as all get-out (I am–the others are better than I)
Beautiful post
Siblings are the world!

good siblings certainly are!
I’m as lucky as you with three siblings- one sister and two brothers and consider myself very fortunate! Good that the number fitted!
yes, it was – and we are fortunate – my husband is not so fortunate with the siblings handed to him
Nor mine!
So we are doubly lucky–I share mine with him
I’m guessing your siblings are pretty grateful for you, too.
maybe, maybe not – but thanks for the thought
Thanks for passing by and the following.
Lou Ann, I am one of four siblings too. Sisters and I so get this. We are different but every one of us are always there for the other– always. This is indeed a blessing and something to be grateful for.
It is, and I know it very personally, as my husband does not share this with his family, so I share my sister and brothers with him
What can I say – You are absolutely right
Thank you brother John – hey, when I am right, I am right!
There is nothing better than family!
I agree wholeheartedly about my family – and am glad you can say that too — not all families are so lucky!
It it wonderful to have siblings that you totally love and appreciate..I had 9 but now have 2….Diane
hugs
