Maybe it's the event, the right circumstances all aligning, to make a very happy moment.

And maybe part of me (especially the part that's grumbling and swearing) should be grateful for struggles because they make me pause and calm down. Pause and reflect.<br /><br />I know, I know. Very much easier said than done, eh?

I'm very honored that you find enjoyment in my blog. #6 flashed me back to sitting outside for sunrise Easter service in Phoenix (early morning hours in the desert are Cold!) and as the sun started to emerge, dozens of hot air balloons rose with the golden rays. It was one of the most amazing things I had ever seen.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05754778263332756663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2098338657770100534.post-80061510493798619372012-03-13T20:10:37.822-06:002012-03-13T20:10:37.822-06:00Thanks for the compliments!

Just remember to look around at all the views each time.a.eyehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01468719598280416330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2098338657770100534.post-28478403927215007402012-03-13T15:43:39.672-06:002012-03-13T15:43:39.672-06:00I said that Sally O'Reilly was one of the reas...I said that Sally O'Reilly was one of the reasons I kept blogging, but your support was the other reason. Especially in those first couple of months when it was my story I was putting up, and I was trying to really get into my habit of writing it daily (almost daily?). Rough, but then I'd call you and you'd talk me through it. I really appreciate your continued comments, your reading, your honest opinions. <br /><br />Thanks for your happy energy that always builds me up.Deb Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16419809243480266275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2098338657770100534.post-14849256849299423052012-03-13T15:37:37.518-06:002012-03-13T15:37:37.518-06:00*Gasp* You have seen one?

Thanks for the good feedback about that.<br /><br />And thank you for providing interesting and fun content in your blog, so I could find you, love what you're doing, and nominate you. And follow you :)<br /><br />As for the report cards, and what your teacher said, that does make me smile.

None of that, none of that.<br /><br />I think you're thinking about, researching, and doing great things with your writing. You definitely deserve kuddos for everything you're putting effort and energy into. <br /><br />As for random facts...it's funny, cause everything I said seems relatively hum-drum to me, but most likely just because I already know me. I don't know you at all. So anything you write will probably be much more fascinating than you realize.<br /><br />And thanks for your PS -- I loved the visual of the weebles. Makes me laugh.Deb Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16419809243480266275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2098338657770100534.post-70538584718616595542012-03-13T14:10:06.427-06:002012-03-13T14:10:06.427-06:00Ok, I have been sitting here staring at the commen...Ok, I have been sitting here staring at the comments box for the last ten minutes not quite sure what to say, and it isn't often I am rendered speechless!! <br />Firstly a monumental thank you for following my blog, commenting on my posts and thinking its worthy of honoring in this way...wow :-D<br />I have to say you rank as my favourite blog to read! It is an effort sometimes, when the e-mail with your newest post pops up on my phone, not to just abandon work and dive into the latest installment. However I did have to steal a few peaks today, it just looked too intriguing!<br />Your random facts had me fascinated and I wonder if asked could I come up with anything as remotely intereting that I haven't already told everyone.<br />Any way, I love your writing and appreciate your encouragement greatly. The award is well deserved, so keep up the good work. I am off for a night of discovering new blogs ;-)<br /><br />PS I loved the magic moment of today, I agree that hot air balloon's are just so magical to watch. The balloon's on this video made me giggle (just what I needed, thanks), they kind of looked like little weebles that wobbled for a while before someone let go of them, like a normal baloon you let go of with out tying. I have this image of giant balloon's whizzing around off camera!Sleepy Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16221803835813688522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2098338657770100534.post-27295242940528806032012-03-13T12:29:40.169-06:002012-03-13T12:29:40.169-06:00First, thank you for the honor!

My favorite is the teacher who says I'd do better if I didn't daydream so much. ha.<br />Apples are related to roses? Didn't know. Also, we eat them with peanut butter all the time.<br />"when the air was still a little bit sharp to breathe." Fabulous writing! <br />Now, as for your intro at the top. I loved it. Have you seen a fairy ring? My daughter showed me one last year when we were in Idaho. A perfect ring of mushrooms growing in the grass. Pretty magical.

You got nominated for the versatile blogger award! Well done you! I am so happy that other people have recognized how fabulous you are and get to share in your gift of writting. Really what are our gifts and talents for if not to share them? <br />2nd, I love that even after having known you for 12-ish years I didn't know any of the 7 random things about you. At least I didn't know them in entirety, ie; of course I knew that you hoard your writtings but I had no idea that you have old report cards from grade school. Love it! My favorite one was about the apples. Now the fact that I have seen you cut an apple horizontally for Alpha to make a star makes so much more sence to me. I thought it odd at the time but now I love it as I love you. Deb you're my dearest and best friend and I love that after knowing you for so many years there is still so much to learn about you. You are an inspiration to me. HethAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
