The Groove

The house is still in complete chaos. They are supposed to install the kitchen countertops tomorrow…for real this time…its laugh or cry so I chose to laugh. I’m just glad I have running water in the bathroom sink again even if its dripping because they didn’t install the new pipes correctly the first time or the second time.

Typically I’d weigh in on the first Tuesday of the month but I’m not going to do that today. The scale is in a very difficult place to reach and I’m not risking a fall from the ladder. I did weigh in last week after a nightmare that I got on the scale and weighed 411 pounds. My weight was 355 still. I’ll take it over 411 any day. I’m never going back to the 400’s again. The sooner I’m out of the 300’s the better!

Speaking of 300’s. My weight has been pretty static. I lose and gain and lose and gain with one excuse after another. July is going to be all about finding my groove.

I received a blogging award from two people, Thinking Thin Too and Honi. The rules say the award is for creativity, design, interesting material and contributing to the blogging community.

Thinking Thin Too said “You are the reason many of us have come into contact with each other.” And Honi said I was “Always full of sunshine and always a wonderful motivator”

I want to earn those words. Sometimes things and people come into our lives at a certain time for a reason. I think that I’ve met some wonderful people here in the blogging world and I know my life has been touched by so many of you. For me, knowing that I’ve made a difference in a few other lives means the world to me. There is an old saying “if you see someone without a smile, give them one of yours” and I think we all do that, every day with our words. Sometimes a few kind words make all the difference to someone who is struggling.

The rules say I should pick 5 people to give this award to but honestly, there is no way I could pick just five people so I won’t, I’m asking all of you to play along if you want. Here are the rules.

1. Pick five (5) blogs that you consider deserve this award for their creativity, design, interesting material, and also for contributing to the blogging community, no matter what language.

2. Each award has to have the name of the author and also a link to his or her blog to be visited by everyone.

3. Each award winner has to show the award and put the name and link to the blog that has given her or him the award itself.Award-winner and the one who has given the prize have to show the link of “Arte y Pico” blog, so everyone will know the origin of this award (http://arteypico.blogspot.com/)
