Ever need a little something of encouragement that arrives at just the right time? I do now and again. Thanks to Darlene Foster, on March 1 I was given the Sunshine Award! What a lovely, and appreciated blogger award.
This award comes with the requirement to answer “ten easy questions”, but for me it’s not so easy. I cannot pinpoint favourites very well, but I told Darlene maybe it’s because I like so many things. You’ll see how indecisive I am with naming just one thing.
Now, on with the show —
Of course, the Sunshine Award has some rules:
- Include the award’s logo in a post or on your blog
- Answer 10 questions about yourself
- Nominate 10-12 other fabulous bloggers
- Link your nominees to the post and comment on their blogs, letting them know they have been nominated
- Share the love and link the person who nominated you.
TEN EASY QUESTIONS
Favorite color: This varies, sometimes pink, sometimes green … or purple
Favorite animal: donkey, elephant, my own dog, – personality is important. 😉
Favorite number: 7, or 4 because I often seem to prefer things to be even
Favorite non-alcoholic drink: ice water with lemon, Rooibos tea, fruity or spicy herbal tea
Prefer Facebook or Twitter? definitely Twitter, I am not convinced about Facebook.
My passion: helping and encouraging others; reading/writing
Prefer getting or giving presents: Giving. Although it’s fun to receive gifts there is so much enjoyment in giving to bless others, especially if it’s a ‘just because’ gift.
Favorite pattern: Snowflakes come in amazing patterns, and frost on window panes can make exquisite patterns
Favorite day of the week: any day of peace in my life – and the rare days I can write and/or read without interruption or other obligations – is a great day. Also, I tend to be reclusive, if possible, to regenerate and think.
Favorite flower: the Mammoth Russian Sunflower
PASSING IT ON:
I hereby pass forward this cheery Sunshine Award to some worthy bloggers whose writing I have discovered and enjoy for one reason or another – even though I don’t get to visit many very often. Give yourself a treat by checking them out.

You are most welcome, Erik. It was cold here today, too, with the sunshine.
oh my yes, donkeys do have personality. A friend of mine used to have one – a donkey, I mean. 😉
When you figure out what my favourite sunflower looks like, picture it eleven feet tall with a huge flower head – at least a foot wide, and a tiny hummingbird checking it out. 🙂 I saw this in my own garden one summer. Amazing.
