AWARDS THANK YOU PAGE
The Illuminating Blogger – awarded by Terry1954

Awarded by Terry1954
Terry is currently living with Al (her brother) who has Parkinson’s Disease. At times harrowing, at other times touching; Terry’s blog is always inspirational. I have learned so very much about the disease, and the strengths of those who care. Terry also posts her poetry and other tender writings. Thank You Terry; I love popping over to see what is happening in your world…. 🙂
Terry didn’t stipulate any rules except, of course, to thank the one who nominated you.
THANK YOU TERRY
I’d like to pass the award on to –

One Lovely Blog Award

Awarded by Soph
A Bit About Soph
All things interesting
The good, the bad, and the ugly
Here is a little read from Soph’s blog….. For safety reasons, I’m only known as Soph on my blog, and I’m 15 this year. All I’ll say about where I live is that I live on Earth. Good thing I’m not from Mars, although the economy and state of environment is better over there. Might be a bit lonely on Mars too, and I don’t think I’d be able to live without human company. It’s not that I’m constantly in need of company, it’s because sociology and psychology intrigues me, along with philosophy, history, literature, and well, cars. So there we go, a little bit about me.
THANK YOU SOPH – I am so very touched by this award..
And the rules are –
1. Thank the person who nominated you.
2. Share 7 things about yourself. (If you so desire.)
3. Nominate 15 bloggers. (Or how many you’d like.)
4. Notify the nominees that you have done so.
5. Put the logo of the award on your blog if you so desire. (Up to you, of course.)
My 7 things are: I love life – I enjoy eggs and spinach for breakfast – One of my favourite things to do is dance (you knew that already, I’m sure) – My partner K is cute – I am a bookkeeper – a counselor – a Jill of all trades.
That’s 7 – Phew; running out of things to say!
I’d like to pass the award on to someone I’ve recently met whose blog inspires me –

Thank You so much.. You are too, too sweet… 🙂
Thank you dear Carolyn! Although, I will be talking a bit of time to pick this up. Not only am I busy a a hive of bees, but my mom is in the hospital.She is very ill. I’m waiting on test results. I did up a funny post on the corner store this weekend, but when the call about my mom came I didn’t feel so funny any more, so didn’t post it. I know my funny will come back. – Resa xo
Keep me up to date, please…. This is but a little bit of fluff in the life of a blogger. Your mom is one very special lady to you, and rightly so, is your first priority. Arms reaching out across water to give you a big hug….. xoxoxo
Hugs – xoxo
