*NOMINATION NO. 5*
*THE SUNSHINE BLOGGER AWARD*
(See page 1 for thanks and intro.)
FROM:
Robin at Confessions of a Patchwork Momma. She is like me in the sense that she blogs about a variety of things, including her arts and crafts, her family, and mental health.
RULES:
- Thank the person who nominated you.
- Answer the questions they posed to you.
- Nominate new bloggers and give them questions.
- Include these rules in your post and use the Sunshine Blogger Award logo in your post.
ROBIN’s QUESTIONS and MY ANSWERS:
- Why do you blog?
To let my thoughts run wild, to spark a debate, to learn, to stretch my limits, to create. - If you could time travel, what historical period would you like to visit and why?
The beginning of the world so I could then tell all these people what the truth is. Oh, wait, they probably would not believe me, anyway… - What is the biggest life lesson that 2020 has taught you?
It definitely reinforced a few things – if things can get worse, chances are they will. Also – keep on fighting; you can do it! And – be flexible and open to new things. - Sweet or savory?
Sweet - What is your favorite holiday and why?
Christmas. Or at least it is the closest to a “favorite.” Why? Because of all the magic that it brings. - What is the most frustrating aspect of blogging for you?
Not getting the exposure that I would want. - What do you do for exercise?
I run, I walk, I swim, I go to the gym, I play some sports. - What’s your favorite hobby besides writing?
Reading. Aside from that, traveling. - What are your guilty pleasures if you have any?
Mind-numbing movies/ TV-series. Sometimes our brains need to breathe, too. - What character from a book or film would you like to meet?
Superman because I bet he is in with the most powerful and could make the proper introductions. - Which post have you written that we should all read? (re-using this one because it’s so good)
It IS good. I would direct you to a list of my posts with descriptions so you can choose for yourself. I think that all of my posts need to re-read. (Change the year in the link to 2017 or 2018 for more.)
MY NOMINATION:
MY QUESTIONS:
- Aside from reading/writing, what do you like to do in your spare time?
- What was the biggest challenge you faced this year?
- What do you look forward to in 2021?
- How do you normally spend Christmas? Will it be the same or different this year?
- What is your favorite feeling?
Fun to read …

Well that was a surprise. (not sure why I didn’t get a pingback) Thank you so much for the nomination. Though I don’t do awards, I am honored that you would think of me.

I’m not sure why you didn’t get a pingback, either… WP can be strange sometimes.
I just wanted to show some appreciation. It’s been a pleasure knowing you all this time and gaining some insights to all sorts of different things.

Maybe another glitch in the new editor?
The recognition means a lot. I appreciate your faithfulness in reading and commenting. Thanks again. 🙂

I rather enjoy your award posts; though I confess, their length often gets them put off for a time. Hence my surprise when I finally get to it and find my own name… Like Ruth, I didn’t receive a pingback. Though perhaps that’s really a devilish plot on your part to keep us on our toes? Well anyway, thank you very much for the tag. 😊 Though, may I ask… Why are your questions/answers put under the “Rules” heading on page 5? It’s very strange to see “Rules: Where do UFOs come from?”

When it comes to awards, some people visit the nominee’s blog and announce it. I never did it, because I don’t want to push (some people don’t do them), and because I like to keep you all on your toes. However, I have always done the pingbacks so there is some sort of FYI. I have no idea why it didn’t work this time…
As far as the length is concerned, that’s why I do pages – so you can read one page at a time and know exactly where you left off.
Thank you for pointing out the rules snaffu. You have earned your editor’s wage this week.

Well, I have been having some WordPress issues lately, so… We’ll just blame it on them. 😉
Read bit by bit, as time allows? Goldie… That would be smart. Ridiculous!
I’ve earned my wage, eh? Excellent. I expect my payment in chocolates.

I will make the chocolate be in the shape of Santa for an extra bonus.

Ah, wonderful! Although, I do wonder why people don’t make chocolates and the like in the shape of things where a beheading would be more desirous. Like… vampires, maybe? Because edibles in the form of, well, anything with a head, are going to get beheaded, it’s just a fact of life. And we make bunnies, and Santas, and poor, innocent, nondescript sort of people. Now what does that say about us?
Okay… I know what it says about me. 😅

Being able to behead someone or something with bloodshed is a compelling one. But yes, a good question you pose.

Congratulations on the nominations. Definitely well deserved! 😀 I see that you recommend the Bible (or encyclopedias). Is there a edition of the Bible that turns out to be the best version of it you’ve ever read?
