Thankfulness meme

[cairistiona]

shirebound posted a 'thankfulness' meme in which she used the letter "P". I asked for a letter, and she was kind enough to give me "E". I'm thankful for....

Everyone on my Flist!  I know that's a little bit of a cheat, using "everyone", but it's very true. I'm so thankful to all the friends I've made here at LJ. I love your variety and your talents and your encouragement, and how we can celebrate the things we have in common and appreciate our differences. *hugs to all*

Elladan and Elrohir - for being such good brothers to Aragorn. *g*
Elrond - for being such a good father to his family, to the chieftains he's fostered, and really to all of Middle-earth. He's such a hospitable fellow, and so compassionate.
And all the other E folks in Tolkien's legendarium.  Seems like if your name starts with an E, you're in good company. But I've a real soft spot for Elrond, Elladan and Elrohir.

Effervescent personalities, the kind of which my friends here possess. I'm so thankful for positive, happy folks whose posts always make me smile.

Eggs!  Like Elladan in my universe, I love eggs.  They're such a good, tasty, nutritious food, and easy to fix.

Eagles - their soaring majesty never fails to move me.

Estel - you knew I'd figure out a way to work Aragorn into any thankfulness meme. *g*  I can't imagine a literary world without Aragorn. I have had soooooooo much fun writing stories featuring him, and hope to continue to do so for many years to come.

There's probably some more "E" things I'm forgetting but that's a pretty good list right there.  Anyone who wants a letter, please ask!

What a great way to describe this wonderful world of friendship we've found.

Thanks for playing!

I think about all the differences we have in so many areas, from religion to politics to food likes and dislikes, and yet we're all able to respect each other and stay friends. Would that the entire world be that way!

aww...I love how you described all of us here in LJ land! *purrs*

And you got the perfect letter for you -- with E! Aragorn has so many names that you'd have a good chance of getting to put him on many of the letters!

I think I probably would have figured out a way even if I'd gotten the letter Z. LOL

Oh yes, we can figure you'd get Aragorn in there some way. Not that I'm complaining. :)

I had eggs for supper tonight! With bacon, of course. Not exactly healthy, but taste. I always feel Middle-earthish when I eat eggs. My brother thinks I'm a little crazy.

[cairistiona7.livejournal.com]

I can insert Aragorn into nearly any conversation or post, if I try. *g*

I think I may have to have some eggs tonight, and feel a little hobbity!

You've described how I feel about my Flist on LJ.. what a bunch of incredibly wonderful people. With all the troubles and problems they have, they STILL come up with stories, and fun and encouragement and oh all the good things they possess and share them.

And I do agree with eggs. And mushrooms. Always in my fridge.

Can Himself have a name beginning with S? sun, song,silliness, smut,sadness,smiles,sausages,slidig on snow.. etc. etc. Aragorn, we Sing you Songs.. and smile at your superbness. etc. etc.

Yep. It helps me keep my own problems in perspective, that others can deal with their troubles but still enjoy themselves in other areas. :)

And of course, take the letter S!

Aaaw, this is sweet! I am thankful for many of these things as well :D

I'll take a letter, if that's how it works!

[cairistiona7.livejournal.com]

How about the letter B? *g*

[suzll.livejournal.com]

Hahaha I don't know if you gave me the Bruce Banner letter on purpose or not, but it's very fitting! :D

[estelcontar1.livejournal.com]

I too am very thankful for positive, happy folks wherever I meet them.

It wouldn't be you if hadn't managed to fit Aragorn in your meme. Bring on gazillions of stories featuring him.

[cairistiona7.livejournal.com]

I suppose I am pretty predictable about dragging Aragorn into everything I do. *g*

Hooray for happy, positive folks! (And I'm glad you're back! *hugs*)

[estelcontar1.livejournal.com]

Blessed predictability!

And I'm sooooooooooooooooooooo glad to be back.

The moment I read that you got the letter E, the first thing that came to my mind was Estel!! :))

[cairistiona7.livejournal.com]

Me too... and Elessar. I just saved the best for last. *g*

[inzilbeth-liz.livejournal.com]

I missed this and only picked up on it because of Suz's post. Seems a lot of the good people in Tolkein's have names beginning with 'E', or 'A' which is the letter Shirebound has given me [so I don't need another, thanks!]

[cairistiona7.livejournal.com]

Hmm, whatever could you be thankful for that starts with "A"! *g*
