This made my day!
Today, I was feeling a little down in the doldrums. No particular reason, other than I couldn’t think of anything to blog about. I was even thinking of closing down one of my blogs. It has just been ‘one of those days’.
I was browsing and reading blogs, thinking “Why can’t I write like that?”. My mood wasn’t improving any.
Suddenly one of the blogs in my list of feeds posted. I clicked the link and started to read it. This person had received some awards. I read through the post, which was about the fantastic bloggers that were having the award passed on to them. “Very nice” I thought.
Suddenly, I sat bolt upright in my chair. What? Never! How come? Did I read this correctly? Noooo, can’t be right. Wait there’s a link, I click it to see what blog comes up. Oh my……. It is me!
This is what I read………
Babs from Beetle Blog is next. Babs, I salute you. You write the funniest product reviews and the most wonderful diatribes I’ve ever read, and I love your reminiscences too!
I had been awarded the The Arte y Pico award. And I was in good company too. Now, this isn’t the first time I have received this award, but it doesn’t diminish it’s importance because you receive it more than once.
The Arte y Pico award is for creativity, design, interesting material, and also for contributing to the blogging community, no matter what language.
I would like to thank Jay of The Depp Effect for this honour. I am so pleased that I found her blog. It always gives me a good chuckle. If you read one of her posts, you’ll be back for more. If you haven’t already, visit her blog and see for yourself.
The great thing about me receiving this award today, was that I was feeling so down and uncertain that I could ever be a good quality blogger, like those who I enjoy reading so much.
Thank you Jay. Not only did you improve my day immensely, but you gave me the material I was lacking, for this post ;O)
I hope you will forgive me if I don’t pass this award on, but I have passed it on twice before and I’ve run out of bloggers that I know and read regularly ;O)
Stumble it!

Sorry you were feeling down – we all have those days – but your blogs are awesome of course that means the person behind those blogs is awesome, too!
Hope you have a wonderful evening, and do something nice for yourself!
