I have been so touched by all the messages of support. While writing this blog over the past months I’ve so enjoyed all the comments and would like you all to know how much they have meant to me. The trouble I have now won’t be cleared up quickly but it is made better by the knowledge that I have friends out there. And I was so thrilled to see that I have been nominated for an award. This was quite unexpected! Thank you all so much.
I have been cheered in these sad times by the beautiful moth orchid which lives on my kitchen windowsill. I have had it for eighteen months and suddenly it has produced a new shoot and is in bloom for the second time. Such joy!
Congratulations on being nominated. Enjoy the little things in life for now and I hope your troubles sort out sooner than later.
ReplyDeleteHi Val, I'm glad to see you are feeling well enough to blog, I hope things continue to get better for you :)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations and Good Luck to the Award Finals... and lastly, on many issues, time will heal.... Have a nice day Val, ~bangchik
ReplyDeleteValeri, Congratulations on the nomination and now to the finals! You certainly deserve the accolade. This orchid has certainly bloomed at the right moment, bringing you happiness and Good Luck!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the nomination and I'm so sorry you have problems. I'd like to think they were just time-consuming ones rather than painful ones, but sadly it doesn't sound like it. Anyway, thinking of you, and maybe take the orchid shoot as a message that things do go on and will get better.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your nomination (which of your many creative endeavors is the nomination in appreciation of...?)...your beautiful orchid is certainly a reminder to all of us that joy lurks around the darkest corner and comes to us when we least expect it...sending you ***smiles*** across the miles
ReplyDeleteHi Val, Congrats are in order, you do deserve the nomination and your blog is always interesting and fun! Good luck, and I hope you will be feeling better and able to get back to your regular routine soon;-)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the nomination. My moth orchid also has a new flower spike, but it hasn't yet burst into bloom. Hope things improve for you soon.
ReplyDeleteWill keep popping back to see how you are doing.
