Kind Acknowledgments and a Winner

Being a creature of habit, perhaps to a fault, I have a pretty strict morning routine. This morning, however, I noticed something which brought about this post. Bella and Kya (my lovingly montrous dogs) are crated, so every morning before I rush out the door I give them a treat and coerce them into their crates. They go willingly (mostly) because they get a treat almost every time. So, I got out two plain dog biscuits and offered one to Kya (or Fluff, yes my dogs have pet names). Kya cautiously sniffed around the treat with her wet black nose...sniff, sniff...and I thought to myself and probably said aloud, "what, you don't trust me, I give you the same treat every single day."

Then I thought, huh, as much as I hate to compare myself to my dog, isn't it like me to sniff around whenever someone offers me a kind word, a bit of encouragement, or even a gift? Aren't I always second guessing people's kindness, wondering what the ulterior motive might be? Then I thought, part of being a graceful person is being open to receive goodness. Part of being a person of gratitude is to acknowledge those nice thoughts, words, and offerings with a thank you. So I'm back, to thank more kind bloggers for mentioning the shop, whether it be a full post, or a simple mention, I appreciate your kindness.
