I was given a Liebster Award....how lovely!
From 'Simply Beautiful Now' who's blog I
love for the beautiful images and messages.
I am reposting her words as they convey exactly
how I feel about blog awards and the spirit of
helping one another!
This
past summer, as they watched a few beautiful swans
swimming along the shoreline,
the kids learned about how
in nature, animals naturally support each other. One
of the
swans was hurt, so an on-looker tried to help pull it out of the
water.
In an instant, the other swans came to fend off, what
they thought was a
perpetrator.
The hurt swan was whisked away.
In German, the word "liebster" is derived from "liebe"
In German, the word "liebster" is derived from "liebe"
which means love, friend or dearest. I was recently
awarded the Liebster award,
which spotlights
up-and-coming blogs who are still in their early stages
(less
than 200 followers), ready to blossom
into beautiful swans. (reposted from Simply Beautiful Now)
Thank you for the lovely image of the swans

who I pay it forward to and "award" is
that you accept it in the

who I pay it forward to and "award" is
that you accept it in the
spirit it is intended - read:
"I think you and your blog are special!"
There is not one ioda (is that a word?) of
expectation from me that you will do
anything with it - unless you want to!
It's just me (and others) giving you a shout-out that
"hey, we think you're pretty cool......"
and who wouldn't like that.....?
Some of the bloggers I have sent an
award along to might not even know how
much I enjoy reading their blogs (sometimes
we do forget to comment!)
