SalmonChantedEvening appreciation thread

Good morning my DU family,
Being that SalmonChantedEvening encompasses every positive emotion imaginable and offers so much to inspiringly affect us in their Sunday morning thread, I thought it would be a perfect way for everyone to have a great morning thinking of their faves, and most importantly, express my favorite gift I have to offer others. Gratitude.
Let's give SCE an amazing emotional boost today in the expression of our thanks.
Love, John

(Many people think you're supposed to groan when somebody makes a pun, but I think they're the most accessible form or wit, and I relish every one.)

And then there are the pictures of animals, which remind us that we are just less hairy animals than bison and chipmunks. And they remind us of the great richness of the planet we live on, where elephants love great music, and some of us compose it. SCE reminds us to spend time realizing we live an a wonderful place.

I think of love and sharing, hugs and kisses, gentle warm smiles. I think of gratitude and appreciation for the kindest two-legged animals and tiny babies. I’ve learned to think more about the best our planet has to offer.

And now on Sundays I’ll also think of how your wonderfully creative brainiac mind came up with a whopper of a way to keep our thoughts and our thanks on SalmonChantedEvening and our hearts on the clean side of nature.

Happy vacuuming, John. You definitely rock.

The last few years of my mom's life, we'd sit together after lunch and enjoy many posts on DU, but the number one feature was your Sunday Lolcats. It was one of the few things we could enjoy together.

It's been about 18 months, now. I miss her so, regardless of our difficulties and the hurts. But your Sunday Lolcats helps me remember good times and shared love.

I hope my poor words will point to what an important part of my life you are; even though I only know you from here. When your sweet Crystal passed, my heart broke for you. Since mom died, two of my dear dogs have also passed (and my horse, a goat...ugh). You help me cope. Thank you for that. Thank you.

Much loved, much appreciated, and always needed, by all of us.

I normally try to take the weekends off when it comes to news, but I always come to DU on Sundays for my
'happy thread.'
You always put a smile on my face and warmth in my heart. I cannot thank you enough for doing that, week after week. I hope you truly know how much you mean, not only to me, but to all of us.

You don't know me but even before I started reading many of the other DU posts I stumbled across your Sunday funnies and have enjoyed them ever since, giving me many a chuckle and happy moments from the amazing photos to help get through and bring levity to another day. Many thanks for all your efforts and excellent selections. Sending you much gratitude.
