Two Awards

Within the last few weeks I have been given two different blogging awards from two great blogging friends Sara http://lifegoeson-mylife.blogspot.com and Kristin http://toddandkristin.blogspot.com/. Thanks guys for reading my blog, for always leaving me such great comments and for awarding me with these two awesome awards.

Sara awarded me with the Lemonade Award. Thank you Sara for giving me this award. I'm glad you enjoy reading my blog. Sometimes I feel that my blog is too sad or depressing for some to read and that some maybe turned off by that. However, I write what I feel at the moment and I'm glad that you like reading about my life. Thank you also as well for saying that I show a great attitude or gratitude...I sometimes wonder about those things.

Here are the rules:
1) Put the logo on your blog or post.
2) Nominate at least 10 blogs that show great attitude or gratitude.
3) Link to your nominees within your post.
4) Let the nominees know that they have received this award by commenting on their blog.
5) Share the love and link to the person from who you received your award.

Now for the blog's I'm awarding the Lemonade Award to. (I'm breaking the rules and giving the award out to three people instead of 10. Many blogs I read are worthy of this award, I'm just running out of time!)

1. Emily at http://emily-neurohr.blogspot.com. I have been reading Emily's blog for a while now and she is always so happy in her posts. Emily is upbeat and positive and loves sharing her life on her blog with all of her readers. Emily has a great attitude and I love reading her blog.

2. Kelly at http://www.kellyskornerblog.com. I'm sure many of you already read her blog and like me love reading about sweet little Harper everyday. Kelly loves sharing her life as a mommy with us all, but at the same time she is always thinking about other people and is always informing us about people who need our support, encouragement and prayers. Thanks Kelly for having such an awesome blog.

3. Amy at http://keepingupwiththeschultzfamily.blogspot.com/. Amy always leaves a comment on my blog, almost everyday. Amy's shares her life as a mommy with us but also has lots of fun games and activities on her blog. She takes life one step at a time and yet always shows appreciation and gratitude for her life.

Kristin gave me the Zombie Chicken Award. This gave me a little chuckle when I saw the title of the award. Although, I'm doing 'well' I still have several days where I feel as though I'm walking around like a Zombie. I still have days where I feel like my head is all fuzzy as I'm still navigating through the biggest challenge of my life...the grief of losing my husband.

"The blogger who receives this award believes in the Tao of the zombie chicken - excellence, grace and persistence in all situations, even in the midst of a zombie apocalypse. These amazing bloggers regularly produce content so remarkable that their readers would brave a raving pack of zombie chickens just to be able to read their inspiring words. As a recipient of this world-renowned award, you now have the task of passing it on to at least 5 other worthy bloggers. Do not risk the wrath of the zombie chickens by choosing unwisely or not choosing at all…"

I'm breaking the rules here as well and awarding this to two deserving people. These two gals, have been through a lot and have shared their experiences every step of the way and I read their blogs everyday.
