From time to time this blog receives expressions of respect, admiration and affection including formal recognition or honor with various awards. Regretfully I have failed to pick one or two up in a timely manner and lost track of them when I remembered, for which I apologize.

I humbly recognize accept and post the following accolades...

With a few exceptions, and as a policy, I have decided to offer ALL my readers these few awards for the taking, whether followers, blog lists, or transient traffic because I humbly believe all of you far exceed any of my efforts and deserve them.

You may use my blog and screen name as attribution if your blog use is in keeping with the general principles of my blog. The only unacceptable blogs to me are 100% pornographic and intentionally, repeatedly, vulgar.

Silver of Reflections, notified me to pick up an award.

I began reading Silver's posts from another blog list; I entered her blog posts at the end of an extremely difficult time in her life when the Big C (my shortcut for cancer) had permeated her family life. I cannot imagine being able to post under her circumstances.

Since I still remember the day I received my Big C diagnosis, the posts were particularly poignant. Silver has a great following, but I know she will appreciate more friends as she continues her post "Big C " journey.

What has amazed me most in my relative short bloggie life, is the number of you, who are cancer survivors, or intimately connected to cancer as caregivers. Some of you fit in both categories.

My blog list and FOLLOWER list is randomly created from both my reading and others who read me, so it boggles my mind have so much in common without searching for the commonality.

I received the Kreative Blogger award some time ago. I failed to note the nominating bloggie, to whom I also owe an apology, but indeed appreciate the honor.If you read this and are the source of the award, let me know and I will acknowledge attribution.

Recently Carol of The Writers Porch received this "bloody brilliant" blog award and awarded it to all her readers. I'm not sure I qualify as "bloody brilliant" but salving my ego never hurts, so I've claimed it.

I migrated to Carol's blog one day because of her two beloved Pekes (Pekingese). She is a Southerner and lover of the written word. She regularly purchases and reads an amazing variety of books which she reviews in her blog posts. You may be fortunate to win a book, as I did recently.

So all my Followers and Blog readers: Here are three lovely designed awards to which I nominate y'all; you may claim and display as you wish, or just keep on bloggin'.

You are all Awe-Summm!!!, Kreativ and Bloody Brilliant!!!
