“This is an award for everyone who is part of the “Word Press Family” I start this award on the basis that the WordPress family has taken me in, and showed me love and a caring side only WordPress can. The way people take a second to be nice, to answer a question and not make things a competition amazes me here. I know I have been given many awards, but I wanted to leave my own legacy on here by creating my own award, as many have done before. This represents “Family” we never meet, but are there for us as family. It is my honour to start this award”
Rules:
1. Display the award logo on your blog.
2. Link back to the person who nominated you.
3. Nominate 10 others you see as having an impact on your wordpress experience and family
4. Let your 10 Family members know you have awarded them
5. That is it. Just please pick 10 people that have taken you as a friend, and spread the love
MY NOMINEE’S
1 Gigoid he is just so prolific and writes such sense he is like a grumpy granddad but don’t tell him I said so!!
2 Martin Shone he does not do awards but he is like my big brother full of wonderful tales.
3 Helenvalentina she is like a newly found sister and I love her blog!
4 Rambling and other Nonsense she is my nearest sister, say we are always messing around and getting up to no good!
5 Eric Alagan the exciting uncle who is always coming up with great questions and interesting tasks
Female, wife, full time mother and Grandmother. I am not as happy go lucky as I used to be but I am still bubbling along on simmer! I have three handsome sons all grown and flown.The youngest married with a beautiful wife and two sons of his own. Eleven years ago I was working, running a home, driving and socializing then bang in a split second all that was gone. I had an accident at home. I broke my back, not for the first time, I had broken it 10 years previously as well. Unfortunately this time I had broken it really badly and it was truly messed up so I had to have two operations. I was told before each operation that the outcome could mean I spend the rest of my life in a wheelchair. Still as some guy once wrote "I am still standing " yes "better than I ever was " not quite but with the help of a walking stick and as long as I do not stand or sit in one position for too long, I am still standing! Update I no longer use the walking stick . I had lots of friends before the accident but when things like this happen, you loose most of them. Their lives move on and mine stood still and so they left me behind ...I know that is just the way life is but it hurt and always will. Then I looked around and saw those who were still there for me, these friends are the roses in my garden they need to be tended well. They are the diamonds in the dust, I will of been married 50yrs plus this year . Pain and boredom are my enemies now, I have to find different ways to approach life, use my pain befriend it almost...yer right , well that is what they tell me at the pain clinic ROFLMAO ...... if only I could! I have found an outlet for my fears, frustrations and night terrors . I have started writing poetry if that name can be applied to my writing. I hope I do not come over as a moaning winger. I hope I am past all that. I also hope that you might see how the poetry is moving from very dark through the grey and
hopefully in to light ??
I need to update this a little here. I have worked very hard over the years since my accident, I go to the gym regularly, I have a Pilates class and a core class once a week . The guys at the gym and my Pilates teacher cajoled, teased, bullied and encouraged me to abandon my walking stick! :) My back is no longer straight it is C shaped because of the injury and I have lost two and a half inches in height but my Pilates and Core teachers have helped me to stand up as straight and as strongly as possible. Pain and depression are still hanging on my arm but I have weapons to use against them and if I say so myself I cope well.
I have made lots of new friends, real diamonds. I am also very grateful for all the support and help I have encountered here on Wordpress. Hugs and welcome to everyone who visits.

This is so great! Congrats! By the way, I’ve been with my mom in the hospital again all day today (came home to sleep) as she had another small stroke. I haven’t forgotten you, just have had NO time to call my own in the last 24 hours. 😀 I’ll get to it, it will just be late. sorry..
Please do not put yourself under any extra stress,you have enough to cope with. I do hope your Mum is improving just make sure that you look after yourself wordpress will still be here when you have time to breath. I shall continue to pray for your Mum. xxxxxx
Thank you so much willow! Hopefully things will get better so I can take her back home. I know she is sick of hospital food…LOL. Today was a good day, so I have hope. Your kind words and prayers are very much appreciated!

Someone made a mistake, please don’t be angry or feel bad… PLEASE!!! It was a mistake. It is just a stupid award !!!
In the grand scheme of things, it does not matter.
Please you do not have to go to that bother.
Maybe it is because of this trouble I am having with my medication , trying to reduce it but it does worry me . I believe no one should ever steal any ones thunder. So now it is clear. I am sorry for that.
Please don’t be, you are good!!
I am also coming off tablets as you know.
The person who did it made a small mistake.
When I mentioned it, I added a lot of 🙂 ‘s
Simply because it does not matter…
I am glad you ok now. You had me worried.
I do not want you to get worked up over something as trivial…
Hugs from me ok.
And although we will no doubt speak over the weekend. have a great weekend.
There is no issue here 🙂

I am furious Shaun here is my first posting on the award https://willowdot21.wordpress.com/2013/04/02/i-am-part-of-the-wordpress-family-award/ it clearly shows that you ….names you as the creator. Someone else has made the mistake. I a posting a disclaimer as you read this or as soon as I can draft it . I am sorry it clearly does matter.
Awww please no..it’s ok..xx
Someone made a mistake, please don’t be angry or feel bad… PLEASE!!! It was a mistake. It is just a stupid award !!!
In the grand scheme of things, it does not matter.
Please you do not have to go to that bother.
Honest..Please..
