I woke up this morning "counting all of my blessings"! What a grand day it is...having my honey home to share the day with me...a cool sunny morning...and a fresh hot cup of coffee! I don't know if it really ever gets any better than this! Except to find that I've been awarded the "Kreativ Blogger" Award...hehe! Rose over at "A Santamaker's Journey" was so gracious to give me this award...thank you, dear sweet Rose!!! If you haven't ever been over to Rose's place...please stop by for a visit...I assure you that you won't be disappointed! She is one of the most talented and creative women that I know at Blog Land! Ohhh my....you really do need to see her beautiful home...decorated in my beloved French Country Flair!!! Here is the link to Rose's place...http://santamakersjourney.blogspot.com/
The rules of the "Kreativ Blogger" Award are as follows:Acknowledge the person who sent it to you.
Pick 6 people who deserve this award to tag.
List 6 things you value and 6 that you don't:
"Six Things That I Value"
1. My Faith....Without my faith in God, where would I be! The Lord is the keeper of my life!
2. My Family....My beloved husband, Russell! All of my children...Lisa & Tony, Aimee & Jay, Jenni & David, Darrin, and Danielle! All of my grandchildren...Tony Jr., Alex, Adam Christopher, Noah, Emiliee, Ryan, Ethan, Erick, Seth, and Caylee! They are what I live for!!!
3. My Friends....I have some of the most wonderful & caring friends....I especially value all of my cyber friends who have become so near and dear to my heart!
4. My Home....it is my little piece of Heaven here on Earth!
5. My health...I thank the Lord daily for my health!
6. My Extended Family....my folks, my Sis....
"Six Things That I Do Not Value"
1. Bad Attitude...pessimistic attitudes, "Woe is Me" attitudes, "I'm better than you..." attitudes.
2. Predjudice....of any type!
3. Dishonesty....can sink a ship!
4. Verbal and/or Physical Mistreatment....literally makes me sick to my stomach...especially when it involves children!!!
5. Apathy....I'm a pretty passionate person! Apathy frustrates me!
6. Unpatriotic....If you don't like this great country, go live in Iraq or someplace similar!!!
The six people that I would like to share this award with are some of my favorite "Kreativ Bloggers"! A couple of these ladies (Lynne & Gloria) are just embarking on their Blog Land journey...please stop by and give them a grand welcome and an encouraging word!!!
