It’s seems strange getting these nominations, as we don’t really do much for them. We write what comes straight from the heart – with not a thought as to who’s going to read it. We are blessed to have all of you in our lives, as I say repeatedly.
It would be unfair on our part to not thank the one who inspires us to write &, who we feel, is pretty much doing the all the writing as well – Ahaan, our darling boy. Still looking after his “old-fogey” pop & his lovely mom. Thank you Ahaan for being such an integral part of our soul journeys. We couldn’t make it without you & Armaan. We love you always…
Now for the formalities:
First step:
Thank the person who nominated you:
Ok. Here’s another awkward, humbling moment. Thank you Sirenia & Steph for nominating our blog for the Sunshine Award. We LOVE your blogs.

I will pass the Sunshine Award on to the following 7 blogs:
Sirenia whose poems I absolutely adore.
Stephanie whose blog I love – and who almost makes me feel like learning a whole bunch of new languages.
Afkear whose work doesn’t cease to inspire
Angela Marie who is someone we are privileged to know.
Sue Dreamwalker who is just such a beautiful soul
Chris who is brilliantly wise
Eric who’s always there with a comment that touches you.
Last but certainly not least, there is a special someone who’s not into awards. So, ONLY out of respect for his wishes, I have left his name out. VK – you are simply aces. We love you!!!
We could go on about the wonderful blogs that we read. Unfortunately, one has to wind up a list. That’s not to say that we treasure all the other blogs we follow any less. Each of you has made our lives richer in the most wondrous ways. Thank you all so very much. God bless & lots of love to all.

Congratulations, Anil, you know how much I like your writings and thank you for nominating me. The other nominated blogs, some I know and follow, certainly deserve this much more than I do. Thank you once again.
Love Steph.
And she’s modest to boot!!! 🙂
You deserve it as much as anyone, Steph. You really do…
Love. Anil
Thank you, Anil
Love, Steph
Dear Anil,
Congratulations on winning the Sunshine Award – I know of no one more deserving.
What a welcomed gesture from one whom I deeply respect and admire. To be referred to as ‘friend’ by someone as tough as you, beats any award. Thank you very much.
Peace and luv from a friend,
Eric (from Singapore)
P/S I like that reply: Facebook or Twitter? > WordPress 🙂
Thank you for your kind words, Eric. They mean a lot. As far as being a friend is concerned, the privilege is all mine – we are blessed to have good friends like you in our lives. God bless & lots of love always…
Congratulations, Anil! If anyone deserves this – it is you 🙂

Anil, I am deeply honored. Acknowledgment is all so new to me, my blogs are for the good of the many, and often times not coming from me. I am simply the tool that gets it on the page. I thank you for your kind thoughts and gentle blessings.
May God’s bliss continue to shine on you and yours.
Christopher
