Sunshine Blogger Award

When I first started blogging, 7 years ago, (hard to believe it was that long ago) the Sunshine Blogger Awards were a big thing. Then they kind of faded away for awhile. But now they are back once again.

Some people don’t like them, but I think they are an honor. It means you are recognized and appreciated by both fellow bloggers and your readers. That being said, I was once again honored with yet another Sunshine Blogger Award, this time from fellow blogger, dog lover and friend, Thomas Wikman, from Leonberger Life at https://wordpress.com/reader/feeds/127844335. Thank you so much. I am very honored indeed.

Not only are these a badge of honor, but they are also a fun way to get to know one another better. We always learn something new.

Questions from Thomas to me:

What is my favorite movie?

My favorite movie is not one you would think of for a woman, but it is The Great Escape. I’ve probably seen it about 100 times. My dad and I used to watch it together all the time, and now I watch it when I am missing and thinking of my daddy.

What was my most unusual experience?

I don’t know really. Life is full of unusual experiences. I just take them all in stride and learn from them what I can, then move on.

What would I like to do that I haven’t done yet?

Sky dive. I have done the indoor skydiving a few times and I love it. We were all set for me to do a tandem skydiving adventure and then COVID came along and ruined everything. I still haven’t made new plans to do it.

What am I passionate about?

I am passionate about life in general. Of course, diving, cooking, dogs, cats and animals in general, are top of the list, but I am passionate about living life to the fullest. Larry and I do a very good job of living life to the fullest all the time. We are always up for new adventures.

If I could live anywhere in the world where would it be and why?

I am still trying to figure that out. I guess that means I have a lot more traveling left to do to help me figure that out. 🙂

What is my favorite way to spend my weekends or time off?

Traveling, going to new places, trying new adventures, diving, time with friends and family, cooking and entertaining for friends and family.

What do I want people to understand more about me?

I am insatiably curious, about everything, and I love to learn new things. Once I learn these new things, I love to share what I learn with others. Sadly, I am learning a lot of people don’t share this same curiosity and love of learning, which means they don’t always appreciate my findings, and my curiosities fall on deaf ears.

What is my favorite or go-to meal?

Anything pasta. Pasta is so versatile. I can dress it up anyway I like and it can always be something new.

Three people I would like to have dinner with, dead or alive?

Well, my daddy for sure, and of course my mom too. As for anyone else, that is a hard choice. There are so many people I would love to meet and talk to, on so many different topics. Once again, I am insatiably curious about everything and love to learn all I can.

What is the best piece of advice I ever received?

Never take myself too seriously. Always strive to be and do MY best.

What kind of music do I like?

I LOVE all kinds of music, as long as it is good music. What I listen to depends on my mood at the time. Music speaks to me in a lot of different ways.

I know you are supposed to pass this along to a few select people, but again, because I am naturally curious, I open it up to ANYONE and EVERYONE who would like to participate, with the same questions. They are good questions. 🙂 Anyone who puts forth the effort of writing a blog deserves to be recognized for their efforts, work and achievements.

Have a great day and make everyday great. Stay safe and stay well. ‘Til next time.
