It’s been less than 10 months since I entered blogosphere. I have become familiar with the exciting encounter of tagging of awards. I understand now why they are passed on. I understand too why others don’t have the chance to pass it on. It is a pleasant surprise every time I get one. To know that someone else is reading your blog is nice. To have your thoughts appreciated is so much nicer. And then, to be tagged by someone you respect in the blogging world elevates the proud feeling. There’s a Blog of the Year 2012 6 Stars Award up for grabs. I finally understand how it works here at MyOwnHeart.Me. Thank you Rommel of the The Sophomore Slump for including me in your circle of “up there” bloggers. I enjoy your community much, all because most in your sphere put in so much thought, time and heart into what they share.
Now, it is but right for me to feature blogs I have placed up there in my “follow” list.
The blog that brings me cheer…The Nomad Grad
The blog that constantly refreshes my days…Garden Walk, Garden Talk
The blog that makes me wish I was retiring soon…Retiree Diary
The blog that reminds me that life is beyond toxic, it’s actually beautiful and amazing…Beyond Toxicity

The blog that makes me love food more and more…Vittle Monster
The blog that keeps me on the ground in a very nice way…Morning Story and Dilbert
The blog that makes me see how extraordinary relationships can be…Don’t We Look Alike?
And lastly, the happy blog where I just can be, The Sophomore Slump. (I just have to tag you back Rommel.)
As much as we put in time and effort into our posts, it is equally right to put in time and thoughts into what we read. I am still amazed every time I find a blog where I can “stay” and “linger.” I know you have your own list. Isn’t it nice to realize that amid all the world’s chaos, there are actually so much beautiful thoughts running through the world…

Ahhh so that post. Very underrated post, but sure is a favorite of mine. And that picture was my first blog header photo. It is time consuming to give acknowledgment to other blogs, but it realy is very rewarding. It’s just fair to ‘give back’ after all the hardship, and the wonderful shares of bloggers.

Thank you for following GWGT and noting it in your post. Congrats on your nomination too. Sorry I did not get here yesterday, but I have been ill and not blogging as much. Hopefully, things will be back to normal soon, I so want to get out and chop down a Christmas tree.

Oh you haven’t been feeling well for some time now, I think? I wish you to be really well. Time to take a break?

Wow! I was just coming over here to tell you that we are nominating you for the 2012 Blog of the Year Award and see that you already got one (yay!!!) and that you nominated our blog. What a coincidence! So I guess this gives us each another star on that plague!! Thanks for a beautiful blog!!!!
