Sharing The Love

Another long overdue award.

This really beautiful award was given to me by MP last year. Unfortunately, it was just around the time I had to go offline. I'm sorry it's taken so long to pass this on to all of you.

MP, thank you, so much for thinking of me. I was really touched when I saw my name on your list. (Kendra, and Storyteller, I still haven't forgotten yours either!)

The rules are as follows:

The "Sharing The Love" award was created by Memoirs of a Mommy, in honor of the heart donor that saved her son's life. She hopes that by passing this award around the blogosphere, everyone can help raise awareness of the need for organ donation.

"The rules of this award are: SHARE THE LOVE!!! Share this award with all those blogs out there that you love, all the people who make you smile, all those who make you laugh, all those who make your day, all those who leave uplifting comments on your blog. **All I ask, is that you include a link to this post with the award and ask your recipients to do the same.**"

Once again, I'm giving this award to my "commenters." You are the people who make me smile, make me laugh, and make my day by leaving uplifting comments on this blog. To everyone who's left a comment for me in the past few months, thank you, again. I really do keep all of you in my heart, even though I'm not always here to express that.

Again, if I've missed anyone please forgive me. And once again, lurkers, please feel free to take one for yourselves. I can't check my stats at this time to try to identify you by name, but I know you're there, and I do appreciate that you regularly take the time to visit here and read.

I Love You THIS Much

I had a few moments and came straight here. I've pre-posted some more entries and answered comments through August (go take a look!). Hopefully I'll get to the rest sometime too. I'm not "back" yet.

Thank you to everybody who's still reading here. Your visits are so appreciate.

As a matter of fact... That makes me think of something else I can do right now...

Hillary gave me this award EONS ago (and as often happens, her timing couldn't have been more perfect) and I've been horribly delinquent in passing it on. (Kendra and MP, I haven't forgotten yours either!)

I'm giving this award to everyone who's commented here while I've been away:

• Bayjb (Who'd BARELY started reading here when I left! -Thank you!)
• Abbie
• minijonb

• Joe

-And the only lurkers I can identify:

• LatteMommy -My "follower!" Thank you!
• Karyn -Who's been reading here since pretty much this blog began. -Thank you Karyn :)
  

If I've missed anyone please forgive me. I'm writing this at 4 am! Any other lurkers who've been reading here and not commenting, please take an award for yourself too. I'd mention you by name but I have no idea who you are! (*cough* Alberta/Calgary! *cough!*) ;)

Thank you again everybody. I am so grateful to you. I really do love all of you ♥THIS♥ much.

Rawkin' Bloggin' Noggin' Award

Grandy gave me this award last week.

I was only JUST able to find and pick it up yesterday!

Thank you Grandy! You rawk too! :)

You Make My Day

Last week, in the middle of an incredibly hectic day, I saw that Kendra had given me the "you make my day" award. Timing is everything ;) and that random act of kindness, at just that moment, truly made my day.

The next day I had a few minutes to reply to some comments that I'd fallen behind on due to the craziness of the week, and some of you had said some really nice things. Again, the timing was perfect, and you all made my day.

So I'm passing this award on to all of you who regularly comment on this blog. You really do make my day. Sometimes more than you know. Thank you for taking time out of your lives to share a little of yourselves.

Since everyone should polish their awards once in a while, I cleaned this one up a bit. I tried to find its first incarnation so I could get the original graphics, but I didn't have a lot of success. I think I got back as far as 2006 and lost the trail. I didn't want to change it too much from the original, just "fix it" a bit. You're welcome to take the original version or the newer one.

* To those of you who read here regularly but don't comment, I know you're here :) and I love that you come back time and time again. Please accept an award for yourselves as well.
