This post marks my 300th. Three hundred doesn't seem like that many to me now, but there was a time when I was quite certain that I was all done with blogging. Some of you reading today are feeling that way now. I want to encourage you to just keep on keeping on. Write when time and the muse allow and write about anything. Anything can be blog worthy and you never know what topic sparks someone's interest.
July 22 will mark one year of blogging for me, which, for reasons stated above, I never thought I'd see. I'm planning a fun giveaway to combine both events...my 300th post and my first year anniversary. Stay tuned!
Gee, it's so hard to concentrate when one has just been whirled about the room in a little waltz. This is a different way to begin the morning. :D
Okay, back to business...
NanaTrish @ http://nanaslivingthedream.blogspot.com/ and Pat @ http://millefiorifavoriti.blogspot.com/ both gave me this wonderful award. It's cute and what a great sentiment! So many blogs are just plain fun to read.
Now I get to award six blogs and I am choosing six that make me laugh. Not that they don't also make me think or make me cry, but mostly they make me laugh. And I'm not worrying one fig if these bloggers have already received this award either because whether one chooses to accept it is entirely up to her. Entirely!
* Suzanne of At Home with the Farmer's Wife
* Chocolate Chic @ Chocolatechic
* Sandi @ Holding Patterns
* Kari @ Just Livin' Large
* Linds @ Rocking Chair Reflections
* Lovella @ What Matters Most
I'm not sure that this one comes with any rules so make up your own! (I've checked, truly, but can't find any.)
Enjoy this fantastic Monday!
(On a side note, I'm going to attempt answering a few questions in yesterday's comments, if anyone is interested.)
Vee - What a happy surprise to wake up to. Although I will admit that it can't compare with the marriage surprise!!
ReplyDeleteHope you have a wonderful day on the dance floor.
- Suzanne
Oh fun... I have new blogs to check out! Thanks for the encouraging comment on my post this morning. Have a God-filled, wonderful day!!
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Christi
Congratulations on both the award and your upcoming 300th post! I've had my blog for almost a year too and am a bit behind you at 275 posts. You gave some good advice to keep on blogging, not to give up. I find it terribly sad when one of my blog friends disappears.
ReplyDeleteOkay, now I'm not making this up my dear Vee...I have long coveted this award...it makes my heart swell up into my throat to be able to post it on my site as an award I have received. Thank you so very very much!!! I'm not going to pass it on just yet, I'll do it this week, but right now I just want to bask in the warmth of the award that you have given me for which I have waited so long!

ps
ReplyDeleteHappy Blogaversary on the 22, and congratulations on the 300th post...makes me tired thinking about it, lol!
hugs again
Sandi
Hey Lady...I completely agree...you ARE a joy to read..the difference lately...I can tell you are writing with a smile on your sweet face :)
ReplyDelete300 posts! Way to go Mrs. Vee!! I've lost track because when I was very depressed a few weeks ago, I was all ready to shut the thing down so I deleted a bunch of old posts. Now I have no idea where I am with them. Over 200 is all I know. : )
ReplyDeleteI'm very happy that I kept up with my blogging, though. You're so right that we can blog about just anything because it just might strike a chord with someone else out there!
Have a brilliant day, darlin'! You and your Mr.! : )
Hugs...
Jan
Hi Vee,
ReplyDelete300 posts, I can't imagine that.
I am so glad you have your blog because I certainly enjoy reading it.
Congrats on the award as well. Your blog is fun to read.
hugs to you,
Barb
Oh Vee, I am loving your carefree spirit right now. It's wonderful to "see" you so happy and loved.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for the award. . I'm so honoured that you would include me in your choices. . truly. . I am.
Congratulations on your 300th entry! {I started 2 years ago, on July 22! -smile-}
ReplyDeleteBut you know what I MORE want to Congratulate you on? On...
"Gee, it's so hard to concentrate when one has just been whirled about the room in a little waltz. This is a different way to begin the morning. :D"
I'm much MORE wishing you Congratulations, on having added this to your life!!! :-)))))))

ReplyDeleteHugs,

Congratulations of getting this twice Vee! I love the sentiments you shared too -- blogging is fun, but sometimes it takes encouragement to keep doing it. I don't think there was any rules that go along with the award -- just to give it to those who are "fun to read"!
ReplyDeleteAll of the blogs you chose are new ones for me, so I'll certainly try to visit them.
Also, congratulatons on 300 posts and one year of blogging!! I've only known you since January, but it seems like we're old friends!
Have a happy day Mrs. Vee!
Thank you, Vee. It's kind of ironic - you talk about us making you laugh and then send people our way and today, of all days, I post about politics. LOL People are going to shake their heads at your choice of me on this list. But - nevertheless - I am grateful to you. I appreciate our friendship and always look forward to seeing what you have to say. Congratulations on receiving this award yourself - you certainly deserve it.

Congratulations on your award.
ReplyDeleteIt's the perfect award because it's so true - your blog IS fun to read and I read it every day!
Congratulations on your awards,m Vee - you definitely are fun to read, and I love popping over. And thank you for passing it on to me!
ReplyDeleteI have been blogging for well over 2 years now and am somewhere in the middle 600 post realm, and it seems impossible. I agree - just keep on keeping on.
Congratulations on your 300th post. This place wouldn't be the same without you! Some days I think of you and think "Vee would understand!" And yes, I totally think it is weird that we have such kind and caring people on here and yet my REAL life feels ridiculously empty of love and support. :|
ReplyDeleteI think we all crave more love, more acceptance,more understanding.
And then I kept reading your posts because I am about 5 weeks behind and discovered that YOU GOT MARRIED? You crazy woman! How amazing and wonderful! I totally agree- why not this man? He sounds like a TOTAL and utter gem and looks like a real sweetie. How about a wedding photo? Congrats my dear - you deserve every ounce of happiness life has! You lovely wild and crazy girl you!
This is the best news I've had all month. :)
xoxo Terri
You are just plain fun to read...and I'm so glad you never packed it in when you felt like it. Congrats on your 300th post!
ReplyDeleteJust plain fun to read, indeed! Your blog is a treasure, as are you.
ReplyDeleteNow, if you can stop honeymoonin' for a minute, stop by, ...I'm hosting a "perfectly imperfect" week, and I'd love you to participate!!
Have a great week!
Linda
Vee, I don't know how you can settle down to blog, when you are off skipping the light fantastic with mr. sweetman! You have got me going all sappy with your Schmoppy Playlist...hey what about "Ten Minutes" ...in the arms of my love I'm flying, over mountain and meadow and glen...for all we can tell you may never come back to earth again :}
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your blog awards!
Vee, How fun to get whirled around the room in a waltz!
ReplyDelete300 posts! I consider that quite an accomplishment. I have really enjoyed getting to know you this past year. I look forward to your give away
xo
oops! I forgot to say....congrats on the sweet award!!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the encouragement for blogging! Sometimes I ask myself, now why am I doing this?? I have learned a lot if nothing else.
ReplyDelete300 post oh my. I love them all. I have read alomst all of them...Have a wonderful week...mary
ReplyDeleteYou made some excellent choices -- and great recommendations. I can't wait to visit the new ones I hadn't known about before!
ReplyDeleteA waltz in the morning sounds heavenly Vee!

Congratulations on your award Vee, you deserve it so much. 300 posts and you must have been reading my mind, some days it's difficult to sit down to read and write, thanks for the encouragement!
