Puzzle Description:

I'm grateful for a good job, good music, and good food. Now, what 4 words can you get by rearranging the letters in "FULL OF GRATITUDE"?

#1: Claudia (clau_bolson) on Nov 12, 2019 [SPOILER]

GOLD (a good job)
A FLUTE (good music)
FRUIT (good food)

That's it, Claudia!

At first, I was going for FRUIT and A GOLD FLUTE. But after I solved it, I decided I'd rather have a wooden flute and put a little money in the bank for security.

My job is a good job in that it fills me with joy (working with people with developmental disabilities and their mentors). It only pays minimum wage, but I have enough to pay my bills and I have time to spend with those I love and I have peace in my heart.

I'm eating better these days, more produce definitely, and less sugar, to prevent cancer recurrence. I'm 4 years cancer free. So all in all, I am absolutely FULL OF GRATITUDE.

Good puzzle, good solve, good sentiments, great news!
#5: Jota (jota) on Nov 12, 2019
Congrats!

Teresa, it's just not right that a job like yours is minimum wage. If salaries matched a job's value to society, people would be flocking to such jobs and teaching positions; and they'd be fleeing Wall Street and corporate boards.

I thought that was a swimmer on the bottom who was making a splashed when they hit the wall. lol

Good puzzle Teresa, and it’s great to hear you are doing well and you’re happy x
I’ve just reduced my sugar intake by around 75% just because I know it’s time to do so, it’s hard, I love all the yummy bad stuff :D

A great philosophy to live by. And congratulations on being 4-years cancer free. I remember when I reached my "fifth" year cancer-free. And that was over 10 years ago. So cancer can sometimes be vanquished.

Brava.

Thanks, everyone, for your kind comments.

Congratulations to you too, Ga. I remember asking at what point does a person become a survivor. I was told, as soon as you are diagnosed, and as long as you are still alive.

I'm not so good, solving these puzzles, but I love them...and I wouldn't miss the comments for the world. I'll add my congratulations for your good news, Teresa. I've had some very dear friends go through cancer treatment...who are all doing well. Glad for you as well, GaHendrick. I'm also working on cutting a lot of sugar and carbs from my diet. I'm in "actively losing excess weight" mode, so I'm being pretty strict with myself. Sigh...I miss having a glass of wine with dinner, but then, it wouldn't be the same since "dinner" is a shake most of the time.
#12: Teresa K (fasstar) on Nov 14, 2019
Thanks, JoDeen. And congrats on your actively losing weight. I love having a super shake for dinner. It fills me up and I'm not hungry the rest of the evening.

Coffee with sugar tastes like sugar, not coffee.
Tea with sugar tastes like sugar, not tea.
I don't add sugar to anything!
Berries are the fruit of choice.

But wine, give me all you've got!

My parents drank coffee with sugar and cream. When I tasted it I went bllllck. Finally tasted it black and liked it. My attempts at drinking iced tea turned into lemonade. I now drink it plain and find it very good and very thirst quenching.
#15: Jota (jota) on Nov 15, 2019
Yes! Lemonade no sugar! Great!
#16: Aurelian Ginkgo (AurelianGinkgo) on Nov 15, 2019
How can you live without sugar?! Put chocolate in everything for me! (Heh, except for things in which chocolate would be gross...)
#17: Jota (jota) on Nov 19, 2019
Oh no! Chocolate I'll take dark!
#18: Teresa K (fasstar) on Nov 19, 2019
Jota, I just happen to have some dark chocolate kisses in my stash drawer right here. Help yourself! You too, Aurelian. (✬‿✬)
#19: Jota (jota) on Nov 22, 2019
Thanks!
#20: Aurelian Ginkgo (AurelianGinkgo) on Nov 22, 2019
Mmmm. I'll have to add it to my almonds. They're the best with dark chocolate.

Fun puzzle but I have no idea what the meaning is.
