Would You Change; Strength in Many Forms
TGIF Friday October 8, 2010
I have received a couple awards recently, one I am a bit behind in sharing so I thought I would write about them today rather my typical recipe today.
The first award given to me by Karen of Waisting Time back on September 20th. THANK YOU Karen! Karen knows I am not one to pass them along because I like you all out there & that is just me. BUT if any of you that want to take on the challenge of answering this one in a post, I say GO FOR IT. It is a very interesting award. By the way, she had a few awards on this post & we got to choose the one we wanted to do... this was the one I chose. You are to thank the person - done above! Pass this on to 6 others & I pass it on to all of you if you want to do it. AND, answer the question below. So here it is....
Cherry on Top Award - Answer this question: If you had the chance to go back and change one thing in your life, what would it be?
Well, I know many would say that they would not change anything because it made them who they are today. I love that answer. But being honest, I would have to say there are actually a couple things I would do if you all don't mind me changing the rules a bit.
1. Put more energy & time into family & friends.... we all think they will be here forever & they are not.
2. I would have tried to follow a job career path on something that I loved versus studying & working based on what I thought would pay the bills.... ultimately this was not a good thing for me & I do think many might agree with that.
Award #2 from Marsial at Eyes of the Sun: Musing & Losing
Marsial awarded me with the "Strength" award & she wrote about it HERE. Of course the day I was writing an "in your face post", Marsial was writing: "The qualities that struck me immediately about her postings were her calmness and kindness". YIKES, sorry Marsial!!!! Marsial's Strength Award is described as this: "Strength" award -- to be given to someone who is a role model of strength in body, character, mind, and spirit.
Marsial knows also that I do not like to pass awards and she wrote this: She (meaning me, Jody) has indicated that she, like me, doesn't care much about receiving awards, but I hope she will accept this one. And some time, when she has a spare moment and decides on someone who has offered his/her strength to her, I hope she will pass it on to that person as well and tell us why that person is deserving of it.
From me, Jody: I do care & love getting awards BUT I don't like to single out people or blogs to forward them to as I love all my readers & all the blogs I read). I do love this award & "STRENGTH" comes in many forms. So.... here goes.....
I want to do a couple mentions first because I know these 2 people are like me in passing on the awards BUT I have to mention them because they have been a source of endless support in good times & bad for me here in the blog land. They are my rocks offline in this sea of blogs....
DR. J and Roy ... You two are the best & optimize this award, someone who is a role model of strength in body, character, mind, and spirit! BTW, both have amazing posts up right now!
On to passing this on... and I know Marsial said just one...... but I am doing two. Both of you can pass this on to another who meets the "STRENGTH" award...
Bobbie at Anonymous Fat Girl who has been a support offline & online as well... THX Bobbie! AND, Bobbie has launched some cool workout items at Fitness Warrior. With the holidays approaching, a great gift! Hey, we have to reward ourselves too & this is a great way to do that!!! Right now, she has a free shipping special going on... what more motivation do you need PLUS looking good makes us feel better when we work out! Reward yourself for your hard work!
Jules at Big Girl Bombshell who continues to push me (even when I don't follow thru) but also has shown strength within herself to move in such a positive way!
Saying all that, many of you have been so supportive & wonderful.... BUT I promised Marsial I would pass this on.....
See you in the Saturday Funnies tomorrow! It is a good one... kind of a "dirty joke" but well worth the laugh!!!

Congrats on your awards Jody!You deserve them and I think your choices of who to pass to were great! It's hard trying to pick one over the other....there is SO MUCH inspiration out there, isn't there?
Ps. the things you would go back and change? Beautiful. Words of wisdom, for sure.

Jody - congrats on your awards - you deserve them! You are always inspiring and seem so full of energy

Jody, you deserve these awards and many more! You have set a great example for others, and have a non judgmental kind attitude. I know many people appreciate you for that.
As for me. my dad always told me to do my best, and I guess his teaching mostly got through to me

Congrats on the awards and you are so deserving of them!
I am not good at writing about those and passing them along either. There are too many other things I would rather blog about!
You continue to inspire me to work out and improve my body and my health.
