thank you very much for nominating me for the One Lovely Blog Award! Today has been a rough day (my 85-year-old mother took a tumble requiring lots and lots of stitches 🙁 ) and this brightened things a bunch.
The usual Rules:
- Thank the person who nominated you for the award.
- Share seven things about yourself.
- Nominate 7 other bloggers and inform them
Okay, so onward with everything…
Who am I? I was “me” long before I became a betrayed spouse. Here are 7 things about me:
- I LOVE to travel. (I basically work to eat, pay for the roof over my head, and to travel.)
- I love to read. (On my nightstand now – among the affair recovery and SA literature – you’d find: “The Sympathizer” by Viet Thanh Nguyen, “In the Midst of Winter” by Isabel Allende, and “The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian” by Sherman Alexie.)
- I am really, really good at keeping in touch with people I’ve met and built relationships with throughout my life. (I’m not on Facebook. I’m your friend who still writes letters and notes by hand in addition to texting and emailing.)
- My favorite movie is The Wizard of Oz.
- I love to dance and my iTunes account includes everything from Michael Jackson to Jay Z to The Killers to Londonbeat to Maxi Priest and NERD.
- I am not a morning person. At all.
- I was a cheerleader in high school. (No one who met me from college onward knows this about me. And you would never, ever guess it from meeting me.)
I’m nominating each of the following seven bloggers for the One Lovely Blog Award. The blogs are all unique and each one has helped me to understand something outside my wheelhouse, supported me, made me contemplate different perspectives and choices, or made me think or smile when I needed it. Whether I actively comment or not, I am always reading. I look forward to their postings. ❤
I am certain that several of these blogs have likely been nominated multiple times before, and I don’t intend for this nomination to be a chain-mail-esque burden. I just want to express my appreciation for their writing and sharing.
- SpaghettiSam
- The Queen Is In
- Tears in a Bottle
-
Being Hahn (I’m not certain that this blogger is still active, but the blog was meaningful and helpful to me nonetheless.)
This was great, thank you!
You’re so wonderful!!
Hi BW, how’s your Mom? Hope all is well xo
Hi to you too. Thank you for asking about my mom! Mom is stitched up in multiple places (she had a very deep slice in one calf) and doing okay. Today is her 85th birthday, which is happy and a bummer because she’s really uncomfortable. We’ll make it up to her with something special when she’s feeling better. 🙂 I hope all is well for you too.
xo
I hope she had a wonderful day despite the injuries!
