Thank You!

Recently, two sweet blogging friends passed some
lovely blog awards my way.  I feel so badly that I am
just now getting them posted,  but my life over the
past few weeks has been filled with many things that
had to be done before I could blog again.

Tonya from Beholding Him passed on

this Beautiful Blogger award.  Thank you
so much Tonya for thinking of me.

I especially enjoy reading Tonya's postings about

eating nutritiously and her dedication to her family.

I must also thank Andrea from Arise to Write

who also passed this same award my way.

I am amazed at the caring prayer warrior

Andrea is. Thank you Andrea!

With this award I am to tell you some interesting things

about myself.  hmmm...I think you already know alot

about me.  What can I tell you that might surprise you? 

*  I am the firstborn child with one brother and two

sisters and was blamed many times for leading them all

into mischief.

     

*  I am the one at the end of many jokes that has
to say, "I didn't get it", but I love laughing.

* To this day, I still tear up watching old episodes
of Little House on the Prairie!  Crazy huh?

*  When given the opportunity, I can spend hours
in a bookstore or coffee shop with a chai, journal 
and books in hand. I will always love learning new 
things.


*  If I had a do over, I would go to college to become
a  counselor/ therapist.


*  Music is like a second language to me.  To me it
helps make the world a so much better place. 
I hope to always keep a song in my heart.
In my family, we all sang growing up. I've
always wished I could play a violin or a guitar.


*  I met my hubby at a blood bank where we both
went to donate blood 35 yrs. ago.  My car broke
down that day and he gave me a lift back to my 
work.  I don't think we missed a weekend of seeing
each other from that day on.

I am to pass this award on to 7 other bloggers.

Here are the names of the people

who inspired me to start a blog

of my own back in August 2009. Thank you so

much girls for giving me the courage to be like you.
