Blog Awards Day - Way Overdue

I'm so sorry to all those who have given me awards in recent (or not so recent) months that I haven't responded promptly. I want you to know that my lack of response in no way indicates a lack of appreciation for these. I appreciate the awards very much, the most recent of which was the Kreativ Blogger Award, given to me by Barbara from In Sickness and In Health, a blog about couples dealing with illness. Thank you Barbara! Isn't it beautiful?


So apparently now I have to list six things that I am happy about before passing this on to six other bloggers. Blimey, six things to be happy about? That's a lot! Let me see...

1. I am definitely happy that Mr Man is still alive, recovering, and keeping himself busy and happy with various hobbies. (Does that count as three? :D )
2. I am also happy that I have found some hobbies that I enjoy and that help to bring me peace.
3. I am happy that my Mum is trying to give up smoking.
4. I am happy that my brother is recovering from alcoholism.
5. I am happy that my sister has conquered her drug addiction and has returned to being the caring and generous spirit that she always was.
6. Seeing my nieces and nephews always makes me happy, but I am happy to see that some of them want to share hobbies with Mr Man and I.

There, that wasn't so hard was it? I think the hard bit will be nominating six others, since I haven't been blog reading for quite a while and although I think all my usual suspects are deserving (Gadget, Seaneen and Mental Nurse for example), it's not very kreativ for me to keep awarding the same people is it?

Despite this, I would like to award Inspector Gadget, Seaneen and Mental Nurse. Gadget and Seaneen for their creative writing abilities, and Mental Nurse for their creative ideas for posts, such as caption competitions, weekly round ups of mental health blogs, and their quirky polls. I'm sure there are many many others who are equally as deserving but I just don't come out of my bubble that often to read them these days.


A long, long time ago I was awarded the Inspirational Blogger Award by Anonymous Mom over at Tenuous at Best. Yeah ok, I know it was over a year ago, but it's mine and I'm taking it!


It's inspiring to me to know that I inspire or move others, so I would actually like to award this to Anonymous Mom and all the readers, bloggers or otherwise, who leave comments or send me emails regarding my blog. I'd like to say a big thank you to all of these ones for inspiring me to keep going.

Additionally, I would like to award Tom Reynolds from Random Acts of Reality as his was the first blog I ever read and he inspired me to write my own. So without his blog, this blog probably wouldn't exist! Also, I would like to award Philippa King, whose art has moved and inspired me beyond belief. Thank you Philippa, and Tom.

So, I think that's it for now, although I do have a few memes to respond to...

Hello you beautiful lady! I am happy you gave me an award and happy that you posted!

I will list six things I'm happy about here, but not six blogs to give the award to because I genuinely can't single out six, I'd have to single out six hundred I like so many blogs.

Thanks for the award, although it really is for Z since he does the posts and bits that you mentioned. I don't mind taking credit anyway!!

Ah, but I couldn't have done all these things without the rest of the team shouting at me if I don't do it...er, I mean supporting me every step of the way.

Thanks for the award, MMW.

What a lovely welcome! Thank you Seaneen! :) It's completely your choice what to do about the award, but I hope you choose to display it anyway. :)


Well Bloo, I think the award should go to the whole team! You can all take turns to polish it!


You're welcome Z :)

My long overdue "thank you" MMW! I've run out of room on my sidebar, what with all my links, to post any awards, but I appreciate that you are still checking out my blog. Now that Rob is doing well, it's become quite a boring read, but I'll take "healthy" over "interesting" any day!

Good to hear that Mr. Man is doing well.
