Yesterday I was so excited!

I checked my notifications after school and saw this…

3000 WordPress followers! And over 4000 subscribers in total!

Then when I went to post about my amazement, it had dropped… 😦 to 2999.

So I went to bed and thanked goodness that I hadn’t posted in excitement too early!

This time, after school I checked and look!

I am so surprised, shocked and humbled that so many pressed that follow button!

Thank you from the bottom of my heart to all of you who have decided my little blog is worthy of a subscribe!

That has given me a little boost before the observation tomorrow!!!

I just hope that I can keep all of you entertained, and happy to be part of my blogily!

Another new award this week graced my inbox… this time from my amazing blog sis Erika! Now if you aren’t familiar with Erika’s blog, you need to head over there ASAP! If you think I am positive, you need to read hers! She is a fountain of positivity, and her posts are truly inspirational! Love ya sis! Thank you so much for nominating me and with such great company! I feel blessed to have the blogily I do on here!

On to the award… The Blogger Appreciation Award. Touches me to think that someone appreciates my blog, or me! 😛

The Rules of the Award

(1) Thank the blogger who nominated you, link back to their site – ✅

(2) Use the award image – ✅

(3) Write a paragraph of something positive about yourself –✅

(4) Nominate and notify as many bloggers as you wish. I

It’s always hard to write something positive about yourself.. you feel like you are almost boasting. And that is so not what I am about! I totally believe that we all have some form of positivity within us, and different people help that positivity to become visible.

Similarly for me, my family bring out the fierce protectiveness that I have for them inside me. They bring out the love that I have, bubbling over in my heart for them. My friends bring out the loyalty that I have. The children I teach bring out the fun in me. So, yes, there is positivity from me, I am loyal, loving, fun, protective, happy, imaginative, and just generally me!

As for nominations… There are so many bloggers I would love to nominate for this. I appreciate all the bloggers I follow, as well as the ones who follow me. I always wish I had more time to interact even more with everyone.

Allow me to pass this award on to all my blogily, near and far. Please feel free to accept this award if you have read this post 🙂

I appreciate, and love each and every one of you, and hope we are all connected, as we are, for many years to come!

Friday Feelings – Give Thanks

by Ritu in Thoughts Opinions & Memories Tags: Blog, Blog Post, Blogger, Blogging, Thank you!, Thanks, Thoughts

Seriously, I do this all the time!! (Maybe quietly in public, but definitely loudly in my car!)

Do you?

I was brought up to have manners, our school motto was ‘The grace of God is in Courtesy”.

Politeness.

It’s not a tough thing. It stretched across all creeds, colours and religions. No one is above saying Thank you.

Yet everyday, I see all sorts of people who seem to omit that little phrase, or word, from their conversations, or short exchanges.

The kids I work with, we constantly repeat it to them, as they are given things, so they understand when to say it. And in other situations.

My children have been taught, and Lil Man is very good, Lil Princess needs reminding,especially when she is in her pre-pre-teen strop mode, but she does too.

But they do laugh at none in the car if I exaggeratedly say “Thank you!” to a person I have just given way to, who hasn’t acknowledged, by hand, or a headlight flash, to say thanks. In fact they look out too, and tell me when thanks have not been given!

Walking along a road, or in the shops, if someone has moved for me, or assisted me, I will always give a word of thanks, and I will mutter some under my breath if someone who I have helped ‘forgets’ to say their own….

Thank you, thank you very much, thanks, or even a simple Ta! It’s not hard, is it?

Today, make sure you remember to say thank you, at least once, where you might not even think to say it normally. And if you are the possessor of children, show them the right examples, encourage them to say it too!

That is my little request for you today!

Have a wonderful Friday peeps!
