Oh boy! 3 times!!! Wow, I am surely going to have to get myself sorted so I can properly respond to this amazingly humbling new award!
Thank you, this time Sandra, or Momma, as we lovingly like to call her for thinking of me for the respect award!
I am so touched!

Today is kind of like my happy day. First Jason with his amazing review and then this as well! Well, I found out about both of it yesterday actually, but writing about it and now posting it (after an amazing walk along the beach) made it so real. I can’t stop smiling to be honest.

Thank you so much, Rob, for nominating me for the Respect Award! I feel very honored to have been part of your list and I have lots and lots of respect for you and what you blog about as well!

Here is what Rob says about this award:

“The “Respect” Award is my personal award for fellow bloggers who consistently reach out to other bloggers, offer support, are kind, struggle to understand differences in people, and who treat themselves and other people with kindness and respect.

Daily Kind Quote

My dear sis Erika took something I said and made it into one of her quotes for the day. As I mentioned in her comments, it’s not strictly my quote, it’s a saying that has been around for aeons.
Today, maybe more than most it feels apt.
I am off soon on a long journey, to attend the funeral of my cousin who passed away last week.
Funerals are not lovely things to attend, by any means. They indicate the end. I don’t like to say goodbye… But then the silver lining part comes into play, as they can also be a celebration of someone’s life, if you let then be.
My cousin sister was a vibrant soul, always there to help everyone, with wacky health care and natural remedy solutions at hand all of the time, and a LOT of love to give to us all.
She lost her husband many years ago, and now she leaves 4 children, and grandchildren also. Although I know we shall miss her greatly, I feel happy knowing she will be reunited with her husband after all these years, and that she’ll be looking down on us, wishing the best for us at all times.
RIP Didi
