The What Award?


Well Just Mom tagged me as a thinking blogger. Thanks Aisha but honestly I am not sure what I cause people to think about and it is probably safer not to know. (HA)

I read the rules and about the blogger that started this whole thing and honestly I still don’t completely understand the point. I also refuse to use that four letter word that goes along with this award (M_m_ ) on this post or any post hereafter.

Anyway, I am flattered that someone has expressed interest in my blog and feels it causes them to think. I don’t feel I tackle real brain stammering topics and that is done on purpose as I can be quite profound…hee! I am an upbeat; glass is half-full type person that finds this blog thing an outlet of sorts. In turn my posts follow suit. I believe in being real and live in a place where I daily see atrocities that plague good people. But even in hard times I try to find creative, interesting ways to express myself, my feelings and my heart.

I am constantly perplexed at what and with whom this world of blogging has opened up. I am also grateful for new friends, encouragement from across the seas and those that bring a smile to my face day in and day out.

In short, thanks for sticking with me for whatever reason you find you read the franzenfam!

All I know is- I am truly thankful, blessed, and just plain 'ole GLAD to have found you again, friend! Amazing that w/o blogging we probably would NEVER had have connected again on this side of eternity. So whatever you blog or think about- I'm just glad you are "here."

I for one read your posts because I like the person I "see" and "hear". I also like getting a little glimpse in the world of those in far away places I'll never "see" with my own eyes. You give me a chance to "see" through yours. I thank you very much for that. It is a real blessing to my life.

do i really need to tell you why i love your blog? you must already know.

as for the MEME word! YUCK! relating to my post today, i feel the same way about the word PLAYDATE! maybe if it had a different name i wouldn't cringe so at the thought of it...like, "moms getting together to drink some wine while the kids wreck someone else's house..."
that would be a shoe in for me:-)

if you lived here in my town, or if i lived in SA, you might make my playdate list:-)

Glad to see you're displaying the award proudly. You definitely deserve some kind of recognition for that awesome post about the cake. ;-D

Actually, all your posts make me think about what a selfless person you are to devote your time to others (including your hubby and your children).
