This is a quick post to just say thank you to my fellow bloggers that have nominated me for awards.

I am not going to pretend I will follow the award’s rules because you and I know that that would be a lie!  In the past I have tried to keep track of who gave me which award and even that I cannot do it correctly 🙂

I do appreciate getting awards and it does bring a smile to my face every time I receive one!  So if I missing you in this list please remind me and I will update it.

Thank you to the following bloggers for thinking of me:

Hi you all! I am sorry I have been silent, but is US Open Tennis time and I have to make sure that I get all my tickets sold, so that is what I have been occupying my time with (besides work, tennis, Zumba and Pilates).

After September 10th things should normalize and I will be back to my usual blogging self. I will be back to my crying over my broken heart.  I have to tell you some times it seems the pain will never end!!

but moving on …

I have been fooling myself way too long thinking that I will get a chance to work on the many awards I have been receiving.  Now is the time to just go ahead and give that idea up and at least take the time to acknowledge the great people and blogs that have nominated me.

They are all great blogs in their own unique ways.  I urge you to stop by check them out!

Feeling the love!

What does the above picture have to do with feeling the love? Everything! If you have or ever had a pet you know that there is no purer love than that of an animal.  C., the above dog, made me feel loved on daily basis for 3 years.  In my heart I still feel his love, even though apart.  I miss him terribly and I still cannot make popcorn without crying.  I picture him standing by the stove waiting for his share.

To all the things, creatures, people we love and cannot have near us I take a moment and say a silent prayer.  I ask God to bless and watch over them.  For C. I say an extra prayer to St. Francis of Assisi.

Moving on to another thing that makes me feel loved: YOU

Your reading my posts pushed me along at times I wanted to quit.  Your comments have allowed me to reflect upon my own words and question myself.  You have added details I missed and you have offered another point of view.  You have humored me with humor.  And even when one of you had a mean comment, it served me to realize that I am not the only one hurting and capable of causing hurt with my words.  When you complimented me you humbled me.  When my words made sense to you my heart sang.

Perhaps unbeknownst to you, you have been a friend at a time I needed the most. For that I thank you, not only from my heart but from my whole being, body and soul!

THANK YOU READER FOR YOUR LOVE AND SUPPORT!

Now as far as awards, I have been, ummm, what is the word? lazy? thoughtless? inconsiderate? rude? etc, etc, but anwyay, no matter what word is chosen the fact is that I have not properly acknowledged and thanked the bloggers that have, over the past couple of months, nominated and mentioned me.

This carelessness should not, in any way, imply a lack of happiness and gratitude!  I am overwhelmed by the recognition!  So until I have a chance to work on each single Award, I want to take this time to thank the blogs that have nominated me.  They are all great in their own right.  They are as diverse as the day is long.  I suggest you visit them all and see what they are all about!

YOU ALL BROUGHT A SONG TO MY HEART:

I have 16 awards to work on.  Yes,  you heard me!  16!!  SIXTEEN!!!

I want to state for the record that I will mess up.

I know I will:

Forget to thank people

Forget to nominate blogs that really deserve a nomination

Nominate some blogs twice for the same award

Get the award rules confused

and for that I apologize in advance.

I am going to start with the Sunshine Blogger Award.

THE RULES

sunshine-blogger-award1

1.Repost the award in a post that includes the blog of the person that nominated you.

2.State 10 things about yourself.

3.Nominate 10 people.

1. Thank you to the following bloggers for thinking of me.  Each one of them is special to me in an unique way.  They have great blogs that I recommend you check it out.

http://frankoshanko.wordpress.com

http://thejoylevel.com/

http://thetopleftkey.wordpress.com

http://greatgreths.wordpress.com

2.Ten things about me (very random)

  1. I never had a peanut butter and jelly/jam sandwich
  2. I have stuffed animals on my bed to keep me company
  3. I have to have bread and butter every morning
  4. I work in the very non creative financial industry
  5. I graduated magna cum laude going to night/ weekend school and holding a full time job
  6. I adore anything coconut
  7. Faith and hope rule my life
  8. I enjoy tv a little too much
  9. I am nothing without God/Higher power
  10. I love rain and thunderstorms

3. My 10 nominees (times 4):

The good thing with getting many awards, other than feeling special, is getting to nominate a whole bunch of people.

The blogs I am nominating range from poetry to recipes, from photo blogs to dating life, from book reviews to bible verses and everything else in between.  They are new bloggers and old ones.  Some post everyday while others are less frequent. But they all have something to say and they all have commented on my blogs and I appreciate them all.  Go and check them out.
