First, I want to thank Diane over at Fit to the Finish for this amazing award! I am honored to call her my blogger friend! AND, after this, I found out that 266 bestowed this on me too! I am just speechless.. THANK YOU!
The Deborah award is explained by it’s original creator, Ces, ”I have more trees to plant but rest assured those who have virtual trees and acorns planted and distributed in their honor have one common virtue, they are loyal friends regardless of race, creed, political affiliations and geography. Here, I honor womanhood and friendship and there is nothing more wondrous a blessing for anyone than for a friend who came and never left your side. Someone like Deborah.”
I love this award & especially this part: loyal friends regardless of race, creed, political affiliations and geography. Isn't that what it is all about. Helping one another no matter what are differences are in life. We are all here & in this blogger world to help & encourage one another whether that is tough love or "soft" love.
I think we all respect one another no matter what... in fact I know we do! THANK YOU DIANE and 266!!!!!
As I looked at the words on this award, I changed the order and thought of it in terms of our health & fitness goals too. Many of us think about and HOPE that we can lose weight & eat better and get healthy. We have FAITH that we can do it, that we can hang in there for the long haul, that we can change our lives this time for good & for that life long commitment. BUT, it takes COURAGE and yes strength & yes fortitude and yes belief in ourselves and yes, that NEVER GIVE UP attitude that will get us to where we are headed long term.
We may all be headed in a slightly different direction or down a slightly different path with different goals for the outcome but the one thing we all have in common is that we want to get there, we need to get there & we WILL get there. This can be in terms of fitness or just life goals. Have faith, hope and the COURAGE to make your dreams come true. Let's all help one another!
"To accomplish great things, we must not only dream, but act."
Let me know if you need some tough love or just words of advice. I will be the very first to admit that I don't have all the answers or even half of them but if I can help, I will.... you can email any time.
