Kreativ Blogger Award :o)

Wow - This is my FIRST award (and I am behind on posting it). This came to me from such an inspiring and creative lady! Meet Deb from Katura Greetings: http://katuragreetings.blogspot.com/2009/05/blog-post.html Be sure to take a good look at her work because it is beautiful. Colors, detail, imagery and a bit of the spiritual all combine into amazing works of Art. Thank you Deb so much for giving me this award. Here's a big {{{HUG}}} of Gratitude!

And as is the tradition of this most auspicious award I will list six things I am truly grateful for.

1. My Family - they are the true expression of unconditional love and I am living proof of that as daughter, sister, aunt, mother & grandmother. They love me no matter what.

2. My Life and Health. I have been blessed with a full life and the good health to enjoy it and for that I really am grateful.

3. The night sky. It is the one constant in my life that let's me know everything else in the universe is going to be alright. A calm washes over me when I am looking at it.

4. My creativity. This is my balance. Without it my world turns upside down until I figure out that I need to create and put everything in balance again.

5. Showers. Yep, I really am grateful for this invention. Total Genius. It wakes me up in the morning and de-stresses me during tax season. It cools me off in summer and warms me up in the winter. Man I love showers!

6. My blogger friends! I know, I know..., this response may seem trite but seriously, I truly am grateful for all of you! For the first time I have found an amazing, creative, thought provoking and loving group of people that I can connect with on so many different levels. You share your knowledge and your hearts. Thank you all!
