I have been both honored and humbled by Lisa at Are We There Yet who offered me the opportunity to participate in the Queen of All Things Meme. This is a difficult task, as unlike other memes that ask me to tell you something about myself, I must offer you something quite different. I must share with you what makes me special, and without sounding as if I am boasting. And so it is with much humility that I offer you my list of seven. First, here are the the rules.
Rules:
1. List Seven Things That Make You Awe-Summm!
2. Pass the award on to seven bloggers you read religiously.
3. Tag those seven bloggers.
Cathy's Wall of Honor:
1. I am a good public speaker. I spoke at my high school graduation and have been called upon to speak before groups and I find it a pleasure to do so.
2. I was a den mother in Cub Scouts for 10 years.
3. I am my children's and grandchildren's most enthusiastic supporter. (After Marianne had graduated high school, we went to a basketball game, I was told I was missed because the mother's section needed my enthusiasm...Marianne always thought I was TOO enthusiastic! If you polled the rest of the kids they would tell you the same!)
4. Baking bread is a gift I learned from my mother and Great-aunt Ida. I do love to bake bread and sweet rolls. Just don't have as much time to do it right now.
5. Photography is a passion. I love to take pictures!!! God has created such beautiful art I just have to acquire it!
6. I am most happy with my faith community and endeavor to contribute time and talent as well as treasure as often as I can.
7. Finally, I am a compassionate nurse. I love the people for which I care, and I think they all know I enjoy my work.
*******
Now the difficult task of offering this Meme to others. I would gladly have given this to all I know. But what follows is only a preview of all the grand women out there who have much to offer us all!1. Tracy at A Catholic Mom in Minnesota.
2. Esther at A Catholic Mom in Hawaii.
3. Theresa at Aussie Coffee Shop.
4. Abbey at Abbey's Road.
5. Yvette at A Journey Through His Garden.
6. Bernie at On My Own.
7. Jennifer at My Chocolate Heart.
And one for good measure!
Eileen at Umma's World.
Thank you again, Lisa!!! This was grand! Please all who visit here visit with these ladies as well! They are grand company!

Thanks be to God!
Thanks be to God!
oh thanks so much Cathy. I will have a think about this and let you know when I post something.
ReplyDeleteBravo...I enjoyed reading this, Cathy and was happy when I saw that Lisa gave the award to you too!
ReplyDeleteI too like public speaking and that is why I am a lector at church.
It's so heartwarming to hear that you are a compassionate nurse (altho' I already knew that would be true) because there are too few caring people in the medical field.
blessings and hugs,
marcy
P.S. Your new post did not show up on my sidebar or dashboard, so I just took a chance!
ReplyDeleteOh, thank you, Cathy! That was so sweet of you to think of me.
ReplyDeleteNow, I may have to spend a day or two thinking about this!
I loved your list! And I really loved hearing how you enjoyed your 'work', you can read that it is definitely more than a 'job' for you, it is a true calling.
We have encountered many nurses and nurses aides that were very loving and giving in their care of patients and it is so uplifting to the patient and to the family, and on behalf of those at the receiving end, I thank you from the bottom of my heart!
Nice post!
All the best,
Eileen
Congratulation, Cathy, for being AWE-SOME!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations my friend, you truly deserve this award and I really enjoyed reading your list, this will be hard for me to do but I humbly accept your award and thank you for including me.
ReplyDeleteI love nurses....they are such an important part of all that I love and believe in....helping others. I didn't realize you were a nurse Cathy, I think its an awesome career and only special people can do it...Have a wonderful day and as always....many hugs.
Cathy, you are a sweetheart! I enjoyed learning more about you. Thank you very much for thinking of me.
ReplyDeleteCathy -- this was such a wonderful chance to learn even more about what makes you awesome! &:o)
ReplyDeleteCathy, thank you so much for thinking of me in this regard. I know I am probably being silly, but I can't bring myself to follow the rules! I cannot do the seven things about myself and I experience anxiety when I think about picking a few from so many who mean so much. ;0( Sometimes I feel like such a party pooper!
