“Expect nothing, and appreciate everything”
Anon
Thank you for that, Spidey.
I post this quote as a beginning to my eventual post about the Bloggers Bash.
I did indeed go, piled up with cake, and Hoppalong Hubby in tow, with no expectations, other than to meet with old friends, and mingle with new.
I managed to achieve that, but on top of that, I was gobsmacked, absolutely lost for words, to find out that I won the Best Book Blog award!
Now, those of you who have been following me for a while, know that I was surprised to be nominated, but grateful… and with a HUGE list of blogs on the nominated pile, I didn;t think I stood a chance… but somehow, I did it!
Or rather, you did it. Because without the votes from you, my blogily, I would have never got anywhere!
So thank YOU!
This one’s for you! I appreciate each and every one of you out there who took the time to vote, and those of you who support this little space in the Blogosphere by reading, liking and commenting on my posts.
So… tell me when life managed to totally exceed your expectations?
But I Smile Anyway...

i was trying to find the last sunday Spidey, but this one works too since I can´t remember every Spidey Spiiiiiidey, was a handsome knowledge man this one,
¨Expect nothing but appreciate everything ¨ he said, I actually do live my life like that, I just didn´t think about it and word it in just one sentence, quick to the point and smart, I hate women……

Your cakes looked yummy I bet they went down a treat! Congratulations Ritu you totally deserve the recognition.
I think going on a night out I wasn’t too bothered about and meeting my future husband has to be up there. Best night out ever.
