I have 3 Awards I am putting on this one post and I thank you for taking time out of your day to read. My apologies for taking time to do up this post.
If you do not accept awards and your Blog is on my list please know that I do understand as there is much “homework” to do. I only want you to know I enjoy your blog.
Creative Chaos Award
I would like to thank Geni at www.geniespeaks.wordpress.com for nominating my blog for the Creative Chaos Award. Geni has a spiritual and uplifting blog. Drop in and visit her blog.
This award has 4 tasks for me to do.
First Task: Three weird things I do: Okay. There are probably quite a few weird things I do, now to see if I can remember them. Ha ha
1. I do not like to leave my home until my bed is made. Now I know many that think that is anal and never make up their bed. My Hubby teases me and has asked me, “What do you think will happen if you don’t make the bed? Do you think the ‘bed police’ will show up while you are out?”
2. I know some people think it is weird that I am at the GYM at 6 a.m. Oh well, I enjoy it and it makes me feel good and that is what really matters in the end. I know my Hubby is most proud of me.
3. Now this is “really weird” as I just asked my Husband what do I do that is weird. He can’t think of any. I love it!!
Second Task: You must tell why you look at the “glass half full” scenario and ask “what? No coffee?”
I am a “half full” type of person. No one is perfect although throughout many ups and downs in my life when I sit down and relax I can ‘always’ find a ‘positive’ out of a ‘negative’.
Third Task: You find yourself in a desolate place when your car breaks down. You have no cell phone service, no Wal-Mart, and only a candy bar for food. It is 150 miles to the closest town. What color are your under pants and why?
I just don’t see myself getting into a situation like this at all. For the question on “what color of my under pants”? I just felt that was a private, personal question and I wish to not answer that one.
Fourth Task: Nominate 5 people who recently followed your blog.
1. www.currierose.wordpress.com A most kind hearted, inspiring Lady.
2. www.mypenandme.wordpress.com thank you Mary Ann.
3. www.worktomend.wordpress.com An amazing lady.
4. www.lifeyum.com Lisa you Rock! Busy, Yoga Mom.
5. www.mybeautfulthings.wordpress.com Sally is amazing on how she finds ‘3’ beautiful things every single day.
I am putting the “Lovely Blog Award” and “Versatile Blog Award” on one post.
I am thrilled once again to receive all these awards. I would like to thank Andrew at www.influenceversuscontrol.wordpress.com for giving this Lovely Blog Award to my blog. I am very appreciative. If you haven’t visited Andrew drop in and take a look around. I love when I see the words, “find happiness within” on Andrew’s blog.
The “One Lovely Blog Award” has similar rules to many blogging awards.
- Give generous thanks to the blogger that nominated you
- Write Seven things about your self
- Make a list of 15 bloggers you admire and let them know how awesome they are! These folks are the next round of honorees for the “One Lovely Blog Award”
The Versatile Blogger Award
I would love to thank Marie at www.mariewetmore.com for nominating my blog for the Versatile Blogger Award. Marie is a Life Coach and I love to read her posts and learn new strategies of life.
The Versatile Blogger Award
Versatile Blogger Award Rules:
1) Thank the blogger who nominated you: Thanks Andrea Elliott!
2) Tell us 7 interesting things about you:
3) Nominate 15 Bloggers.
I do find it difficult to talk about myself as I am a rather private person. I always get nervous when I have to share about myself.
- I will be 60 soon and in some ways it bothers me, although I love to say I am not getting older I am getting “more mature”.
- I am enjoying my Garden so much this year and just can’t wait for everything to bloom more as I will be doing up a new “Garden Page” and taking pictures.
- I enjoy taking pictures.
- I am quite a homebody.
- My Blog is fun for me and wish the day gave me more hours so I could spend more time working on it.
- Humming Birds make me giddy. I get so excited when I see one at the window at its feeder. My Hubby says I need to calm down as I scare them away when I get so excited! Ha ha
- I really do wish I could “run”. It is a learning curve for me to accept the fact that I have too much arthritis in my neck and lower back and just be grateful that I can ‘power walk’.
I would love to nominate these 15 Bloggers for the “Lovely Blog Award” and the “Versatile Blogger Award.” Some of them I have known for a wee while and some I have just met. They are all fabulous Blogs that I enjoy reading, if only I had more time. I wouldn’t get any sleep, ha. Ha. I find everyone of these Blogs inspiring in their own unique way. Thank you.

Congratulations, Renee. “Never rains but it pours.”
Thank you Christine!
Congratulations and big hugs, Renee, and you are so deserving. In the little time I’ve “known” you, I have found you to be a very kind, compassionate and fun woman! Not to mention, encouraging in the health department! Anyway, thank you so much for nominating me for these 2 lovely awards. I have to confess I’m very behind on others, so please bear with me in following through. It’s on my “to-do” list! Also, I am just like you with #1! Instead of the gym, I’m walking Copper, although, my body needs more than just walking. Well, work in progress…and I love your “half full” quote! Thanks for your kind words, too! Whew, that’s it and have a good night!
YOU are most welcome! Thank you Lauren for all your kind words. I am grateful I have met you as well my friend. YOU are most deserving of the awards and please don’t feel you have to rush your posts. I truly understand the extra ‘homework’ involved and life can get busy too. Good for you getting out there walking with Copper! Healthy choice for you and your puppy. Take good care. Enjoy your day.
Renee
So deserving, Renee, as you shine and inspire with your writing every day! This post was great (and a lot of work!)
Lisa
And how kind you are, too, to share the awards.
Thank you, sweet one.
Awe Lisa. Thank you so much. Yes it seemed to take me most of yesterday to get it all done. Oh well. I did it! I was proud when finished. Have a great day my friend. hugs. Renee
Renee, you dear, dear lady–thank you so very much for your gracious nomination here of my blog! I love your blog, as you know. I am always brighter, more energetic and MUCH younger after I leave your blog! Mypenandme has also just started following my blog and I theirs. Hooray! So pleased to see so many of the blogs I enjoy on your list. And I also make up my bed immediately after getting out of it! I am a disgusting early morning person, getting outdoors as quickly as possible! I enjoyed learning other details about you, as well. So much fun. As you probably know, I made a decision when I first started my blog not to “do” awards. But I am always deeply honored by any nominations and always enjoy all the goodies I find out about my blogging friends who receive various awards. Congratulations many times over, Renee!
Hello my friend. I really didn’t think you accepted awards, although just wanted you to know I think bout you often. Wonderful to see there are those are taking a peek at your magical words of poetry at your Wonderful Blog.
Thank you so much for popping in to visit me so often and leaving me all these fabulous comments that touch my heart time and time again.
big hugs, Renee
Congrats! I will look at your nominates blogs. I enjoy finding wonderful bloggers.
Thnnks Genie. Great! There are so many wonderful bloggers out there. Enjoy.
I’m going down the list and I found that the mybeautifulthings blog doesn’t have any posts to read. I was looking forward to today’s 3 beautiful things.
Do you mean just for today? I thought she posted every day?
I couldn’t find anything. I was hoping the link was wrong, because I was looking forward to it.
I will check her link…
I do apologize Genie. I fixed it on my post…Sally’s blog is…
http://www.mybeautfulthings.wordpress.com I added an “i” in beautiful when she didn’t put one in and that was the problem with the link.
I’ll try again. Thanks for checking it out.
YOU are very welcome. Thank YOU for letting me know.
Please Let me know if that link works.
It works! Yea!
OH Wonderful! I am so happy you too can enjoy Sally’s Blog and again thank you so much for letting me know. It took me a few minutes to realize that I had read it wrong..
Renee~ finally passed them on! Thanks so much for the awards. You areamazing! http://believeanyway.wordpress.com/2012/08/30/positive-boomer-and-believe-anyway/
YOU are most welcome. YOU are one deserving lady. hugs. Renee
