“Awarding the people who live in the moment,
The noble who write and capture the best in life,
The bold who reminded us what really mattered…
Savoring the experience of quality time.”

It’s so nice to know that some of my life moments shared here on WordPress are touching others in a positive way. Carolyn is a wonderful writer, mother,  and takes breathtaking photographs.  She is a woman of the south as am I , but now lives in and loves Colorado, in spite of the cold weather. She is very sensitive and encouraging which makes me even more appreciative of this award. Many thanks my friend!

ACCEPTANCE SPEECH:

When I started this blog in February, it was to be a memory book of my time in India. I didn’t want a traditional travel journal that lists places I visited. I wanted to write on places, people and experiences that really touched me in some way.. . . . . .such as feral dogs, and monkeys!  I was just hoping my children, grandchildren or great grandchildren might want to read this someday to learn more about who their Miss Anne was!  And I thought it would just be writing during my time in India.  My son, Christian, said don’t limit the blog to India with the title, because you  might want to continue writing when  you  got back to New York. and he was right.  I am so glad that he suggested that as I have loved continuing to share my thoughts and experiences  from home as well.  It helps to have something worthwhile to do do since I retired from teaching to go to India. I thank all my Word Press friends for reading , commenting and following talesalongtheway.com.  It still amazes me that you do!   Many thanks Carolyn for your continued friendship!
