So many times I write my blog with nothing but complaints. 🙁 What can I say, I try to be the glass half-full kind of girl – until I’m not. 🙂
When I look at my life objectively, I really have been blessed. I have an awesome family, two incredible dogs, a roof over my head, a job and an amazing blogging family.
I am resolving to be more like the dogs and just roll with it, or in it if the occasion calls for it. 🙂
Having typed said that, I have also been very blessed to be honored by some of my fellow bloggers. (Siriusly, if I’ve typed it, have I actually said it? Or do I need to say it out loud as I’m typing it for it to count?)
The Sunshine Award
Two Thursdays ago I was awarded The Sunshine Award from one of my newest blogging friends, Jetty over at “Hey It’s Jet Here.” Sorry for taking so long to acknowledge this Jetty, I do appreciate you thinking of us.
There are guidelines which go with this award and they are as follows:
Link the award to the person who gave it to you.
See above. 🙂
Answer the questions that come with it.
- Favorite number: 4 or 13 it’s a toss-up, but probably 4.
- Favorite Non-alcoholic drink: Seltzer
- Facebook or Twitter: Facebook, it takes a while for me to catch on to some technologies. 🙂
- My Passion: Helping animals.
- Favorite pattern: There are patterns? I’m pretty typically a solid color person myself.
- Favorite Day of the Week: I’d have to say Sundays, those are generally my chill days.
- Favorite Flower: Sweet Pea.
Pass it along to 10 people and let them know they have received it.
This is the part I don’t like. Not that I don’t love all of your blogs, but it is hard choosing just 10, so I’m passing it out to anyone who wants it. 😉 Take the badge and share the love.
You Make Me Shine
THEN…..as if the Sunshine award wasn’t enough, yesterday our dear friend Bassa celebrated her one year of blogging, by creating the “You Make Me Shine Award.” Celebrating 52 weeks of blogging, this award was bestowed on 52 blogs and I’m so honored to be listed with so many amazing and talented bloggers.
Check out this photo of Bassa, if that doesn’t bring a smile to your face I don’t know what will.
Bassa, thank you so much for sharing this award with me. Your daily observations on your walks have been a bright spot in many of my days. I’m thankful for you and your blog and of course the tall person. 🙂
What do you have to be thankful for today?
