Well happy Wednesday folks. I’ve received the Sunshine Blogger Award from Joan at MarltonTrainer.com and Art4All. If you have a creative blog, click on the Art4All link and leave a comment for Joan. She is putting together a directory of creative blogs. You Rock Joan!
I first met Joan during the Write31Days challenge when she did the ever popular 31 Days to a Better Butt series. Don’t worry she is a personal trainer so you are in good hands.
Now to answer Joan’s questions.
What do you enjoy the most about blogging? Connecting to readers and other bloggers. It is the modern day form of having pen pals. I have friends in Germany, Spain, Illinois, New Mexico, and Alabama just to name a few.
Have you been or aspire to be published? Have not been published but I have an idea, I think. We’ll see what comes from it.
What makes you happy joyful? My backyard view as I feel connected to God there, full moons because I love to try and photograph them, rainbows because they are God’s promise to His children (there were a lot of them after Joe passed in 2008) sunsets and photography.
What is your scariest moment? I’ve been through a lot of scary moments in the past 7 1/2 years but I think the scariest will be when, if, when I go out on a first date again.
What upcoming movie or TV show are you looking forward to most? I read books instead of watching TV. As for movies, they are usually not in the budget. However, there is a Biblical one coming out in January that looks interesting.
Which season is your favorite? Spring – New Beginnings, New Life.
Do you enjoy the holidays and if so which do you like the most? I hate the chaos of Christmas but LOVE spending time with Joe’s family. Mom and I celebrate New Year’s Day together.
Are you more of a homebody or a person that goes out? – More of a homebody but I need to change that since I am in job search mode.
Would you consider yourself an Introvert or an Extrovert? There is introvert, ambivert (middle of the road) and extrovert. I am 1/2 way between Introvert and Ambivert. I do not mind talking to people on the phone, which most introverts hate.
What is your favorite animal and why? – Golden Retriever. Why? Lots of smiles and unconditional love.

I loved your answers and the pictures you shared! Thank you for the high praise. I appreciate it very much. 🙂
You are welcome Joan! Glad you enjoyed the answers. I had fun putting this post together.
Congratulations my dear daughter on being one of seven to win the award. You work so hard and I pray everyday that a job will come through that recognizes your hard work and creative talent. You deserve every award and especially on for being daughter of the year.
Love,
Mother
