Accepting this award means I have to tell you 7 things about myself, and pass it on to 7 other bloggers.
Here goes:
7 things:
1.) I love, love, love horseback riding! When I lose another 50 pounds, I'm going!! (Want to spare the horse any undo pain)
2.) I am starting to get the bug to travel. Not just a road trip to Disneyland, but by airplane. I want to see the rest of the country and maybe other parts of the world. (Was always too afraid I would not fit in the airplane seat or it would be too uncomfortable - but I can fit now!) Also would love to go on a cruise!!
3.) Have a novel in my head and can't get it out!! I have the whole story from start to finish, but have not been able to get it on paper ~ yet!!
4.) I would really love to be able to sing!!
5.) I would love to have the time to do it all. Be the super wife, mother and grandmother (Baboo as my grandbabies call me)! Excel at my work, volunteer at my church, write a book, be super fit and thin and do everything to keep it that way, travel, CLEAN MY HOUSE EVERY WEEK - HA!, do crafts, garden, read my Bible and understand it, always do what God wants me to do, pick up trash everywhere, be a great cook and baker, oh and volunteer at the food bank, hospital and hold babies, visit old people.....
6.) I want to be known by my last act and leave a legacy of love, faith, joy, wisdom and health for my children and grandchildren, family, friends, neighbors and co-workers. I want them to see something in me that helps them in their life's journey. The best thing I could think of is someone in their old age, sitting on their porch, rocking in their rocking chair remembering that women (me) who gave to them something (wisdom, love, advise, or whatever) that was beneficial to them ~ something that made a difference in their life. I don't even care if they remember my name, just want to have an impact that changes lives.
7.) I would really like to hug everyone!! I always put Hugs! at the end of my posts. When I do that I'm really sending you a hug. I think hugs are the best thing ever to give and to get!!

Well, thank you for the kind words and the award! I LOVE awards!!!! :D It's the thought behind the badge, of course, that makes getting one feel so good. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteAbout your 7 things--#s 2 thru 6 could be mine! Especially the loonnngggg one listing all of the things you want to do. Yea, me too. sigh. That's why the Proverbs 31 woman's lamp never went out. hahaha. And it's also what keeps me hanging on to the Lord's hand--I fall so short.
And, I've always wanted to sing. And I'm sure I'm an undiscovered writer. And, all of a sudden this spring, I've gotten the travel bug, too. I want to go to Wales. Sadly, I now realize that I am not as unique as I once thought. lol.
Thanks, again. I'll get to my own list of 7 things some time next week.
Deb
