Kathy has left a new comment on your post "Thanks, Bumbles, For This Commenting Award!":

Thanks so much Karen. See, this is why you're so amazing. You're always giving thanks for people and things. You are so selfless, despite the challenges you're facing right now. And that's why people like to come to your blog. Your devotion to your readers is clear.

I like your blog because it's a comfortable place to visit and you always have something fun and interesting going on here. I don't know how you post so often, as Daisy and others do. I saw your post idea post yesterday and may need to give it a try. I'm still struggling a bit.

Anyway, I wanted to say I admire you as a blogger and thank you for including me here.

7. Coming across a funny blog post at Jodi's Journey, “The Junk Drawer,” “Comedy Plus,” “Mama’s Losin’ It,” “Daisy, the Curly Cat,” or “I'm Living Proof That God Has a Sense of Humor.”

8. Going for a walk on a beautiful day.

9. Getting a nice surprise that I had no idea was coming—like a surprise gift or a special treat.

10.  Counting all my blessings and praising the Lord.
