Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues, but the parent of all the others.
~ Cicero
I owe a few thanks to a few folks out there and this seemed a good day to do it. A Thankful Tuesday, if you will.
I’m not very good at this sort of thing so bear with me. I think the reason I lose all my words when it comes to expressing gratitude is that I’m still learning to accept compliments for the gifts that they are. Whatever the reason, pardon me as I stumble through this.
First, and I should have done this sooner, a thank you to Amuirin at Stop & Wander for nominating me for one of the Blogger’s Choice Awards. I was surprised speechless, although I’ve since recovered and should have done a little more than a “Thanks, Am” on the sidebar. So here it is: Thank you so much, Amuirin. I’m flattered and honored, and really appreciate all the kind words in the nomination.
Another thank you goes out to Paul at Cafe Philos for giving me with his Sun Mountain Award. I feel flattered and honored and all of that good stuff. And as with Amuirin’s nomination, I really appreciate your kind words.
In both cases, I know I’m in good company in terms of the nominees and award winners. So, thank you, thank you, and thank you.
And Paul, I think I’ll put in a hot tub and a few shower stalls, just in case some of your visitors really do feel as though they need a shower when they get here. ![]()
