I’ve Been Nominated for the “My Liebster Award”!

 

I’ve been nominated for the My Liebster Award!  I can’t tell you how incredibly thrilled and excited I am to think that someone thinks I’m good enough to warrant this, but I’m so grateful! Thank you so much to Der Sonne folgen at www.reachingthesun.wordpress.com for the nomination!  She is an awesome author as well as motivator to me.  She also writes the most lovely posts.  Please check her out.  She’s been blogging just a bit longer than me but writes so well.   She writes from her vast knowledge of psychology and life.  I recently discovered her wonderful writings and I’m hooked!  You will be, too, I’m sure.

Blogging has been such a blessing these last 3 months.  It’s a way to write and to think I’ve actually gotten to meet some really neat people in some far stretches of the world.  I never knew who would read my daily musings when I started.  Heck, I didn’t even know what I’d write about.  I just knew I had to write.  Now, when I don’t write, I feel like I’ve let people down, other than myself.  This might sound silly, but it motivates me to write.  I provides a connection to others that wasn’t there before.

10 Things About Me

1. I’m a Registered Nurse.  I worked in Home Health for about 15 years with Mother-Baby, Pediatric Program and loved it but it was time for a change. I’m now working with an adult population as an office nurse in a clinic.  Completely different as I’m in a different office every day.
2. I am married to my high school sweetheart but it’s my second marriage and his first.  He waited for me all those years!   He is the best husband in the world and would do anything for me.
3. i have a “zoo” at my house.  We have 3 dogs, 3 cats, 2 hamsters, 4 bunnies and a squirrel presently. It’s a lot of work, but my 14 year old is the biggest animal lover in the world and my husband and I are big softies to small furry creatures.
4. My mother always wanted my to write a book and now my father is after me to do the same.  I finally started to write it!
5. I have family scattered across the world.  Family is most important to me.  I just wish we could have a big reunion and make it close to me since it’s so expensive!
6. I’m a big hockey fan.  I love my St. Louis Blues.  I also love my St. Louis Cardinals baseball.  I love soccer and tennis as well and played on my college tennis team.
7. I love to read, but when I was young I found it very difficult.  Now that I’m older, even with reading glasses, sometimes the print can be very small and hard to see.  Getting lost in a story is the best escape ever.
8. The beach and the sunshine are my favorite holidays if not spending them with my family.
9. Seafood, especially lobster and crab could never get old in my diet.  I could eat them everyday and never tire of them, especially with a glass of Sauvignon Blanc and some veggies.
10. I love to paint.  I paint furniture and pictures, even though I don’t have any real talent.  I’ve done a few things that I’m really proud of that are displayed in my house.  The furniture painting I’m good at though.
