How cool is this; an award for something I enjoy doing every day--what could be better? This morning when I opened up in connection to Word Press, I found a message from Charlene. She'd nominated me for a Butterfly Light Award. I read on to find out that recognizes those bloggers who spread a little … Continue reading The Butterfly Light Award

My Award Acceptance Speech
In your imaginary award acceptance speech (yes, we know you have one), who’s the very last — and most important — person you thank? "...And finally, the most important thank you goes out to my family...all of them: parents, brothers, sisters, brothers-in-law, sisters-in-law, nephews nieces, cousins, aunts, uncles. I've been blessed to have all of … Continue reading My Award Acceptance Speech
Kindness of Strangers Daily Post
When was the last time a stranger did something particularly kind, generous, or selfless for you? Tell us what happened! You know that television commercial for a well-known insurance company, the one where a man helps a woman with her stroller, then she helps someone else...and on it goes? I'd like to think that's how … Continue reading Kindness of Strangers Daily Post
Thankfully, I Do Not Rule the World
You’ve been given the superpower to change one law of nature. How do you use it? Thankfully, I'm not in charge of the world! I'll leave that to the good Lord above to keep an eye things. I also am not sure I can name more than one or two of the laws of nature, … Continue reading Thankfully, I Do Not Rule the World
Color Parade
During the Week of the Young Child a few weeks ago the children at our nearby Head Start Center put on their own parade; a Color Parade! Over the PA system in our offices the word went out that we should get up from our stuffy desks and greet these little treasures and cheer them … Continue reading Color Parade
Mothers Day Blues
I've always looked forward to Mother's Day. It's a time we celebrate my Mom, what's better than that? She's raised eight children, mother-in-law to eight, grand-mothered another 20+, and is a great-grandmother, too. Each of us have a different and special relationship with her, so celebrating her on Mother's Day is a no-brainer! Having always … Continue reading Mothers Day Blues
I Used Too Many Words Today
...leaving me with few to use for a complete blog post. Here is my thanks for today:
Pick Me Up: Teachers Rock!
Two birds with one stone again today...I like it when this happens! It's National Teacher Appreciation Day, and the prompt for today is: What is the one word or phrase that immediately cheers you up when you hear it? The absolute first thing that popped into my head is: Teachers Rock! Totally, they do! Being a … Continue reading Pick Me Up: Teachers Rock!
Cinco de Mayo = My Cancerversary
Three years ago today, my thyroid--cancerous nodules and all, was removed. During the "whole body scan" a few months later there were no errant tumor cells and the tumor marker in my blood work came back negative. Throughout the last 266 days of blogging, I've thanked many of the people who had some role in my diagnosis, … Continue reading Cinco de Mayo = My Cancerversary
Saved by The Bell — Or Braces
Tell us about a time when you managed to extract yourself from a sticky situation at the very last minute. Swearing was not something we did in our house growing up. I didn't even know the "F" word existed until I was in my teens, but once I learned it, it quickly became one of … Continue reading Saved by The Bell — Or Braces
