Lemonade Award
March 30, 2009 by Lillie
Deb S. at Media by Sistrunk honored this blog with the Lemonade Award, which ”recognizes sites that show great attitude and/or gratitude.”
I’m especially grateful for this recognition because I wasn’t familiar with Deb’s blog. To be recognized by a blogger new to me was a special honor. Thank you, Deb. Now that I’ve discovered your blog, I’ve subscribed and look forward to reading more.
Here are the rules:
- Put the logo on your blog or post.
- Nominate at least 10 blogs that show great attitude and/or gratitude.
- Be sure to link to your nominees within your post.
- Let them know that they have received this award by commenting on their blog.
- Nominate your favorites, and link to this post.
And the nominees are … :
- Brooke, The Bluestocking Guide, whose reviews reflect her personality and attitude
- Catherine Lawson, Cath Lawson, who shares her struggles and her strength
- Joanna Young, Confident Writing, who helps us all become more confident
- James Doughty, Doughty Families, who posts wonderful motivational quotes
- Robert Hruzek, Middle Zone Musings, whose posts are entertaining and encouraging
- Renea Brumbaugh, Morning Coffee, who reflects an attitude of faith
- Helen Ginger, Straight from Hel, who is both realistic and positive about publishing
- Brad Shorr, Word Sell, who shows a great attitude toward business and social media
- Karen Swim, Words for Hire, who inspires and touches with her eloquent words
- Jeanne Dininni, Writer’s Notes, who always shows gratitude to readers
There are others deserving of this award, but I’ll leave some blogs for my nominees to recognize. 
Some of you may choose not to respond; just know that I appreciate the attitude and gratitude you exhibit on your blog.
Hi Lillie, Thank you so much! It’s an honor to be on a list compiled by someone as grateful as you. There are a few new names on your list that I truly look forward to getting to know.
You’re welcome, Brad. I’m delighted to include you in the list.
A big ol’ tip o’ the Middle Zone Stetson to ya for the honor, Lillie! Thanks a heap! Now I just need to find a spot on the mantle for my major award…
You needa big and prominent space, Robert!
Thank you Lillie. I especially appreciate this coming from you and your fabulous blog. I shall put my sunhat stacked high with lemons and think of some special blogs to pass the award on to.
Helen
Straight From Hel
Helen,
I’m sure you and your sunhat full of lemons will find some wonderful blogs to recognize.
Thank you so much, Lillie! I appreciate your faith-filled words, as well. You are a blessing to me and to many, many others!
Renae,
Thank you—you are getting the award, and you are praising me. That’s gratitude.
Congratulations on your lemonade award. The lemonade even matches your background!
Tiffany,
It does look good, doesn’t it?
Lillie, what a lovely surprise for Monday! I love the combination of attitude and gratitude – makes for good lemonade
Joanna,
Good lemonade, indeed!
Thanks so much, Lillie! This is really sweet!
Jeanne
Jeanne,
You’re welcome. Enjoy sweet lemonade.
I just wanted to let you know that I absolutely love this blog as well as your thoughts and ideas.
If I had an award to give you, I would. Keep up the great work, Lillie.
Thanks, Jenny! I think most of these awards are created by bloggers who want to both recognize other blogs they like and get links to their own blogs. Somehow the originator tends to get lost along the way, though.
Congrats lillie for the ‘Lemonade award’ and to all nominees as well.
Will there be a final winner from your nominee list, just to make it more interesting?
sriraj,
It would be too difficult to choose one best from the list. Nominees may not be the best choice of words—they have all won the award—but I used the terminology that was used previously.
I thought the next post would be something like ‘And the winner is….’
So a Big congrats to all who won the award.
sriraj,
I should have used a word other than nominees. I just repeated what had been passed on.
Thanks Lillie!! I got the comments working again.
Bluestocking,
Glad you got comments working again. The comment I was going to leave last night was to tell you about the award, but I’m sure I’ll have more comments on posts you’re adding.
Lillie, you bring out the best in everyone so I am not surprised that you were honored.
It’s been a long day and as promised I came here with my cup of tea in hand to visit with you and share a bit of cheer. I always feel inspired when I come here. I really appreciate you sharing the award but even more than that I really appreciate you!
Karen,
You are so sweet.It seems we have a mutual admiration society.
First of all, congratulation for the Lemonade Award, Lillie. You’re well-deserved it and I’m sure those people that you’ve nominated here will be as happy as you did!
wilson,

Hi Lillie – Thank you very much. You always cheer me up with your support and kind words.
You’re welcome, Cath. You deserve the award.
Congratulations on that award!

Thank you! It was a lovely surprise and honor.
Lillie thanks for that list, I find some of the blogs very interesting. You definitely deserve to be on every list of blogers who show great attitude and/or gratitude. I also really appreciate your transparent comments policy.:)
