Always Here If you Need Me Award

Quite surprised to find the Always Here If you Need Me award waiting in  my inbox this a.m., compliments of a fellow voracious reader and writer, Julian Froment.   As I have been remiss in doing my duty in the awards arena, I vow to get caught up on all of them, today!  So get ready for a slew of wonderful blogs to visit!

The rules for this award are:

• Post a picture of the award somewhere on your blog.
• List 5 things that make you happy.
• Choose 3 people to nominate who have been a virtual shoulder to cry on, checked in on you when they knew things were rough, or have always been there for you.
• Comment on their blogs and let them know of the nomination.

5 Things that make me happy

Sitting in the quiet of a summer night, or that magical moment just before sunrise – when the calm of the world enters my soul.

Finding out that something I said or wrote helped someone else through a rough patch.

Having a whole day to write without having to do any pesky chores, like cooking, cleaning the bathroom, laundry…

Going to sleep on fresh, dried-by-wind-and-sunshine bed sheets.

When one of my cockamamie inventions actually works, perfectly, the first time around.

Nominate 3 people who are there for me

Aw…c’mon…only 3?!?   This is why I get behind on awards – the nominees portion of the drill always trips me up!   Anyone mind if I break with precedent and nominate more?  Great,  let’s get started then…

Here are the folks that inspire, motivate and check in on me.   They share the joy of triumphs, appear with hugs & hankies when heartbreak appears and never, ever,  fail to truly make me Laugh Out Loud:
