Bloggers Extraordinaire CHERIE, LAURA,TRACEY-ANN and B.J.Roan Pass on AWARDS! Thank you all!

A very special recognition to Cherie at Butterfly Dreamer for the creativity of originating an award with no expectations and for the purpose of recognition of Peace and love.





BEAUTIFUL and PRECIOUS ...as is
Cherie.

FANTASTIC AWARDS AND RECOGNITIONS ARE HERE. THANK YOU!


LEMONADE AWARD from Laura at Under the Sheets - Shh and Tracey-Ann at Pensieri senza Colora.



What a lovely surprise to receive the Lemonade Award from Both Laura and Tracey-Ann.

These great gals are two wonderful bloggers.. They are both talented and creatve in expression and they are real and caring. Please take a moment to check out their sites. I can predict you will be going back again and again for visits!

Thank you both so much for thinking of me Laura and Tracey-Ann. I love getting awards and I appreciate the thought and the sharing. The rules are that I pass this award along to 10 people.

Before passing this award onto other well deserving bloggers, I am asked to share with you five attitude and five gratitude things that you didn't know about me.
ATTITUDE
1) I am not a morning person. It takes me time and transition to come from the world of dreams and sleep to this reality.I do try to not talk before coffee and to be kind to the people who must endure being with me.. I am kind as long as they don't want to talk on arising.
2) I need about 7-8 hours of sleep nightly. Without it I can be very cranky and into self pity. This would be the perfect time for you to see my attitude at work. I do a great snarl.
3) I will turn around and give you a look of attitude if you are sitting in a restaurant booth and rock back and forth on my part of the booth!
4) I am not much for ongoing negative statements not laced with weird humor. I may tell you so.
5) I really do not like music playing randomly in restaurants that I did not choose..I may or may not like it. Now if a violinist comes by my table...all to the good . Otherwise, Please..allow me to choose my own music or keep it calm and low in the evening...unless of course I am dancing!


And now for my GRATITUDE list:
1) I am thankful for this life of sharing and connecting and loving and learning more about love.
2) I thank whoever is responsible for the idea that we are never too old to have a happy childhood ...one that includes singing in the rain, dancing in the streets and playing in mud puddles.
3) I still write in a journal what I am grateful for on that particular day and at that time. I go back and reread those things I enter. I am in awesome realization of the diversity of life and the people I know.
4) I am grateful for the family and old friends and new friends and the wonderful blogger friends that color my life in rainbows. What an inspiration...really!
5) I am thankful for discovering blogging! This self expression is such fun and it has helped me learn more about myself and others and how we are all more alike than different. :>)

Thank you for sharing and creating this experience with and for me and you!

My wonderful nominees for the lemonade blog award are:

1)Artemis of the Eucalyptis at Slightly Unconventional Purple Pathways
2)Bast Crystal at Thoughtful Creativity
3)Cat at Wait. What?
4)Confessions of a Wandering Soul
5)Faith at Stones From My Heart
6)Kate at Blogging Is My Only Vice
7)Jewelery Girl at Jewelry and Junk
8)Jo at Flowers and Barbed Wire
9)Priya at Journal
10)Rab at The Seeker in Dreams
11)Self Proclaimed Mistress of Nothing at Ramblings of an Imperfect Being

What an uplifting posting! Something for all bloggers to try and acquire! Linda, I have again tried to follow your blog but it says "page laoded - but with errors" and then it throws me out. Everything else works perfectly except this one thing! I am starting to wonder whether it does not maybe has something to do at my side? But what? And when I click on your contact address it says that the page cannot be displayed. I will be trying everyday untill I can follow - have a nice day and congrats on all your awards! I am jealous!

RachelW said...

Thank you, Linda! Your blog is fabulous, too! :) Congratulations-- you deserve these awards.

Rhi said...

Thank you so much for the award! And for sharing so many things that none of us knew. =)

Robot Nine said...

Linda- Thanks for mentioning Laid Back Think Tank in your post. Sometimes it has a bit much of bathroom talk, but what do they expect from a bachelor.

Alan

Rab said...

Linda - Thank you for nominating me for the Lemonade award. I am a bit new at this. Do I understand that I should display the lemonade picture, and award it to ten others? And is there a time limit, and what if I discover that those others already have the same award?

Again, thank you very much!

Shadow said...

wow, congratulations on all your awards!!!

jiggins said...

Hi Miss Linda and Thank You! I loved that post. It was very thoughtful and rang true with a very pleasant tone.

I appreciate you following my blogs -
con·tin·u·um , and re[frac]tion. It is really fun for me to have you all as fellow Bloggers... and sharing each others ideas and thoughts really enriches my day.

Thanks again and always:)

Confessions of a Wandering Soul said...

Im deeply touch and honoured. Thank you for uplifting my soul when I was caught in an emotional rut.Read my latest post and you would know where I am coming from. Thank You once again. Btw, its 'wandering' though i do love to wonder ;)

MATHILDE PRIMAVERA said...

Je suppose que "MATH" c'est moi !
A la lecture de ce commentaire, je me dis que vous avez du vous justifier auprès de vos amis sur vos commentaires élogieux me concernant ou un truc comme cela. Je ne me vexe pas, c'est plus que normal que vous attribuez des prix à vos amis blogger qui vous plaisent bien mieux et que vous suivez depuis bien plus longtemps ! De toute façon, je ne suis pas en attente de prix, loin de là, je ne suis partisane que de partage, de paix et d'amour ! Je vous embrasse. Mathilde.

L. said...

Oh, Linda, what a pleasant surprise to wake up to this morning. I appreciate this so much and that you placed my blog in the ranks of such great bloggers!

Thank you so much for thinking of me. I am a behind on the awards bit of blogging and am still getting the knack of all of this. But I do want you to know how special you have made me feel. And I will do an awards post soon to spread the Joy:).

I will have to spend half the day following the links of all the bloggers you have posted. So many blogs, so little time:)

Priya said...

Congrats on your awards and Thank you for passing it to me.

Wait. What? said...

Lyn

SUSAN SONNEN said...

Oh, thank you, Linda...you are so sweet. :) I am glad that you enjoy "musings". And I think that your blog is simply FABULOUS! YOU are simply FABULOUS!

Rikkij said...

Yikes! Christmas at Linda's house. Congrats on your recognition. I too have trouble seeing your posts sometimes (says cannot be found) but eventually I get em. Not sure I can accept the award you so kindly offer as I am a little fish hidden in a corner. all the bloggers I know already have this award so I have no one to nominate! I feel like I would be breaking the rules and also that my having it might diminish the value of it by association. But I am so grateful you offered it. To know you did is enough. I'll hold it and wait til I can nominate some others. Your giving of it is precious to me. Thanks! ~Rick

George said...

Linda, thank you for considering me, for this award.

Your gracious responses on my blog are truly appreciated...

christopher said...

Thank you, Linda. I too have the trouble that I don't travel far and wide. I am far too busy to surf the phosphor. I stick close to home. No one to award this to is part of it. I accept all awards happily but not the conditions, so I don't post them.

Linda S. Socha said...

Rab
May I have your email address? I will be glad to respond to your questions.
Linda

steveroni said...

Linda I have never SEEN so many awards on one blog in one day. But all deserved...I know that!

The only award I could ever "run" for would be blogger-violinist of the week or something like that.

AND...I shall be the one to walk up to your table, and play anything you ask, from Bach to Beetles, to lots of stuff in between, up to 5,000 songs from shows, etc. That is what I do for a living. You will know me--I'll be the one wearing a tuxedo. Once, I told that to a prospective bride, and she wrote back, "and I'll be the one in the dress with wet armpits!"

I loved her before I saw her wet armpits! I love people with humor. (and even people who have not, I guess!)

Laura said...

Oh my sweet thank you SO so much for all of your kind words and for my fabulous award. I have posted it on my site and will write a post to accept this weekend.

You are too wonderful and really made my day...ah shucks!!!

em for mighty said...

thank you for thinking of me! & i can totally relate with your attitudes & gratitudes (especially as another NON-morning person).
thanks again.

Cynthia Pittmann said...

Your attitude look in the restaurant booth is a valuable one to have. I use it on planes (the kickers) and trains/movies (cell phone chatters.)

How nice! Thanks Linda. Have a good Saturday!

LORENZO said...

I thank you for all your support. I also notice that I am in good company.When I see your photo on a page as a follower, I stop to look it over and often follow you in the line of followers. Does that make sense?

Linda S. Socha said...

Linda

Hiya sweetie Linda. I posted today for my fab blog award. Thank you again and I left a little prezzie for you on the left hand side of my blog.

zuveena said...

great page...awesome...

Anonymous said...

Aw, thank you! I think your blog is fabulous too.

And I LOVED your attitude/gratitude answers. I'm definitely not a morning person either.

MarionL said...

Wow, we do have a lot in common. I've read all of the poems you have posted on your page and own the books they're in. Rumi is one of my favorites, as is Anais Nin.

I don't live near Monroe, but I'm familiar with Tech, having grown up in Shreveport. My 2 daughters graduated from Northwestern in Natchitoches. I live in the center of the divine state of Louisiana! My youngest daughter is in Chattanooga, TN while her husband does his residency, so I've visited your adopted state. It's beautiful! Thanks for visiting my blog and for your fabulous post!

sarah said...

Hi Lovely Lady,Congratulations to you!!! No big surprise to me, your popularity. I think that was a rhyme, he he.
