I got an Award...


I've received another Award today and I'm so honored, very happy and so surprised! My wonderful new friend, Silver passed this awesome Award on to me. I want to thank you so much Silver for giving me this wonderful Award! If you would please stop in at Silver's great blog Reflections
It was so wonderful to come back from two surgeries this week only to find the most touching and sweet posts on my blog and this award awaiting me. Thank you all so much! Thank you so much again Silver, I'm very honored! It's:

The Stroke of the Brush Award, which recognizes and celebrates the willingness to take risks, speak honestly, act with integrity, and in the process create and share colors and/or words that stroke our curiosity and brush aside our differences.


I also want to pass this award to some of my fellow bloggers and friends that have inspired me with their work, their hearts, their love and their friendship. I only wish that I would be able to pass this along to many more, some that already have this Award and others that do not accept Awards and are Award free on their blogs. So many of you now since I have been blogging have inspired me, touched my heart and I've learned many things for everyone. But just to let you know that I thank each and everyone of you for your precious thoughts, pictures and inner selves that you all share on your blogs! I love you all for that! Thank you!

Hi Lynda, aww, you're so sweet...thank you! You're more then welcome! I'm happy to be able to pass this award to you!
I'm not feeling to well. I had to have a Nephrostomy Bag placed in my left kidney, I probably will have to have one for my right side as well. The balloon didn't work at all. I think that I'm alright with it though, I can see it has it's good things and after some time I know that I will adjust to this. Thank you so much for ll your prayers. They really mean alot to me. I hope that you have a great rest of your evening.
Hugs...

Silke Powers said...

Hi Bobbie, thanks for your sweet comment on my blog - you always make me smile with your kind words!

Gosh, that sounds really serious with your kidneys. Will the catheter remain in your left kidney or is this temporary? This has got to be tough for you!!

Sending lots of love and healing your way!! Hugs, Silke

Bobbi Ann said...

Hi Silke, gosh Sweetie, thank you so much! I love your blog and your work is superior! I just adore your ladies, your paintings are so awesome!
I believe that this is permanent. The Dr. tried something to which failed. I've had kidneys problems all my life and I'm actually waiting for the Dr. to speak to my other Dr. and for them to decide now what to do. I've had hundreds of surgeries in my life so far and 2 just last week. Sometimes it does seems a lil overwhelming but I would rather this be me then any of my sons or grandchildren or for that matter anyone! I know it must be for a good reason that I have to go through all of this, so it's alright, sometimes just overwhelming is all. But I've been blessed with a great family and wonderful friends and that makes things so much better for me!
Thank you for you love and healing thoughts, they're so much appreciated!
Have a wonderful rest of your evening.
hugs...
Bobbi
