Celebrate the Small Things

Hello Everyone and it's time to Celebrate the Small Things! YAY.

Thank you to everyone who joined in last week and who signed up to join in this week. That is certainly a not small thing I am celebrating. :)

Full instructions including link to the badge are here but in a tasty nutshell: post something to celebrate, hop around and say YAY , WOO, TWIRL to others, feel cheery.

This week I am celebrating:

Starting to get over a bad cold - feeling a bit more human and am sure it'll soon be gone!
Going to my local writing group and feeling encouraged as ever by the company of some awesome writers.
Eating lots of chocolate! : ) (Can't cut it out every week after all.)

I have also spied around some of your blogs and seen these things to celebrate:

Julie's Cover Reveal - how beautiful is that? (And now we're veering into BIG THING to celebrate territory but I wanted to put it in!)
Tara going to an awesome Bookfest - Fun
Jessica going to a local writing group for the first time - YAY so worth it!
Julia not getting chickens - sounds like the right choice for her ;)

In other parts of the blogosphere:
Kyra Lennon and Clare Dugmore both celebrate one year blogaversarys! Not a small thing at all but a BIG THING.

I'm sure I've missed lots of ace celebratory things and apologies if I have.

Have a good weekend everyone!

Here's the list of all the participating blogs - please do visit and congratulate others! I'll be popping round later ;)

  17. Congratulations on your achievements. Glad you're getting better from your cold, there's so many nasty bugs going round this year. It's fantastic that you were encouraged by your writing group. I wish I had one locally, but luckily I can find a lot of support and advice in the blogosphere. Oh and chocolate should always be celebrated! Thanks for organising the blog hop, it's good fun.

  21. Kudos to you for marshaling us for this blog hop! It's a great idea go stop and appreciate our little breaks while we endure heartbreak, setbacks, and waiting for our big breaks. LOVE IT! (And you can never have too much chocolate, esp. if it's of the dark variety.)

I am looking forward to seeing how inspired you are since visiting the writers group, it is always good to surround yourself with supportive people who share your creative passions.
