It's nice to be honored by your peers

I won! I won my 7th Emmy Award!

Every once in a blue moon I guess I do need to pat myself on the back, but it is very uncomfortable. Really!

I walk a fine line. I like sharing my accomplishments (not in a boastful way) yet I don't want to be the one to share them!??! My head is spinning!

The morning after I found out I won, many people at Church asked me 'what's new?' For the life of me I could not bring myself to say "I won an Emmy last night." I said something bogus like, "oh, things are busier than ever" or something absolutely ridiculous!

At the Indians Game that day up in the Terrace Club, I saw one of my best friends from College who I had not seen in years. He said 'how have you been, what's new?' Same thing. My Mother and the woman we were with were chomping at the bit and finally said 'last night she won her 7th Emmy!!' I know, I have issues!

It is nice to be honored by your peers, especially for something you believe in or something you worked really hard at accomplishing!

I was actually nominated for 3 Emmy Awards and wound up winning 1 with a group of my peers in the Breaking News Category for our coverage of The Shooting at SuccessTech.

I congratulate all of the winners. And the phrase "it was just an honor being nominated" is not a load of "do-do." To be nominated for an Emmy Award is just as sweet! Really! I think I have been nominated 15 times or so and have won 7. Actually, not a bad batting average. But those years I lost, it truly WAS a great honor just being nominated, especially if I was in the company of folks I deemed my heroes or mentors!

I could not accomplish a single thing in this life without the good Lord above. Thank you, Jesus for making me who I am, giving me the gifts I possess, and walking through this life with me every step of the way!
