RE: Selfie Challenge - what it meant to me
It is written so nice and touching...
I feel the same as you.
I'm overwhelmed with gratitude to @papa-pepper and contestants...
I'm sad you were ill and had just had your cancer surgery. I would have not guessed it, you look so beautiful and healthy... And yes, you're positive and upbeat, and that is great!
And yes, those selfies every day for 57 days were amazing!
As you, I anxiously waited for the next challenge for those 57 days and shared more of myself, playing with our awesome group of people. As you, I can’t wait for the next challenge!
And yes, it's great that everyone was able to benefit from @papa-pepper’s generosity!
I had turned all of the SBD into STEEM POWER!
This your post is so wonderful.
Perhaps I'll try to write a similar one, although I do not have such excellent perfect English :-)
I wish you all the best)
Thank you so much for your kind words! You did so well with the contest - very steady! My favorite post was the one with all the children around your head. That was priceless!! Your English is very good. I was trying to guess what country you live in - is it Russia?
I'm Russian, but I live in the east of Ukraine, there are many Russians here and most speak Russian.
I think you will ask about the war. We did not have a war, but it is close, in a hundred kilometers, so we have many refugees.
I also tried to guess where you are from? I read all your posts, and I know about three your sons and the charming granddaughter.
You live not far from Florida, do not you? )
I live along the coast of New Jersey. Close to Atlantic City and an hour & a half away from Philadelphia. I’m not as close to Florida as I would like - it’s not that warm here unless it’s Summer. But the ocean is right up the street so I’m glad I’m by the water. Are you near any bodies of water? I’m very geographically challenged lol!
Oh, I like to be by the water.
Unfortunately, we aren't near any bodies of water.
But in the summer hot months I usually try to rent a room in Slavyansk, it's two hours away from my town.
There are several salty lakes and a wonderful pine and mixed forest.
And when you're swimming in the lake, the smell of the lake is mixed with the smell of heated pine needles, such an aroma!
I love this place :-)
I can’t wait for the next @papa-pepper challenge, so meanwhile I'm trying to participate in small one-day or week-long contests, for example, like you, in @dobartim contest. Your two smiles there - yours and happy doggy - are amazing :-)
I feel the same way! I’m trying to stay a bit active here while getting all my holiday projects done. I do stained glass ornaments for some family and friends and I’m trying to finish up a few that need to be shipped. I think I’ll do a blog about them later today. If I get them finished!! Do you celebrate Christmas?
You do stained glass ornaments, it's so interesting!
I'll wait for your blog about them :-)
Yes, we celebrate Christmas, of course!
This is our favorite holiday.
And besides we celebrate it twice :-),
December 25 and January 7.
And also we love to celebrate New Year!
Two Christmas holidays!! That’s awesome! I will probably start my stained glass blog later this week. I have some doctor appointments to get through first - ugh!
