A blogger award nomination is something I was unaware of until earlier today, and I was just nominated for two, a One Lovely Blog Award and The Sisterhood of the World Award. These nominations came from Charlotte of My Green Nook. You can learn more about these awards there. She hosts a very lovely, wholesome and gentle natured blog, and I always look forward to her posts. Please do pay her a visit.
With much given thought, I have declined the formal and formatted acceptance of these award nominations and the required actions to do so; however, I accept and reciprocate Charlotte’s appreciation for the shared support with our corresponding posts and comments.
Each and every one of us have taken up blogging for very individual reasons, though many are shared ones. Our blogs are as unique as each of us are; they are virtual and ongoing autobiographic storybooks. How wonderful is that!
I delight in reading such a wonderful variety of flavorful storybooks; each one of them touches me in some way and adds sunshine to my day.
Thank you Charlotte, and to all of you, for sharing your stories, creations, captivating images, and inspirational words and comments. I will continue to do the same.
Yours,
Linda
I don't know why, but my first reaction to your appreciation for being nominated but declining to follow through, was to give you a thumbs up. If someone blogs in order to get awards then the motivation is all wrong. Enough to get appreciation from others in a more informal way.
Thank you for your comment and for visiting this post. For the most part, I don't believe that people are blogging to score awards. I think there are many ways to acknowledge the works of others, enough to suit the many personalities that exist. As they say……"different strokes for different folks."
Thank you Linda for your kind words and for mentioning me. The bouquet is colorful and filled with joy – just the way I like it. You got my deepest respect and I understand why one chooses decline the awards. I wasn't sure about accepting them myself. The day my blogging is about scoring awards or chasing numbers is the day I will quit writing. But I agree with you about the diversity.
Yes, it is the diversity that keeps blogging alive and allows for all to participate.
Happy Day, Charlotte.
