I am glad I have my little online community, but I do wish I had some people I could call friends in real life as well. I copied this from my dear friend Anne Sikes. “But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.” (2 Cor. 4:7) Sharing the journey through daily thoughts and struggles, examination of Scripture, poetry, music and art. This is another part of who Anne is. http://mylifeuncutalmost.wordpress.com Anne is one of the nicest people on here I have met. She is real, honest, and shares her life’s journey with me. She has also honored me with this beautiful nomination, Mrs. Sparkly’s Ten Commandments Award. Isn’t the butterfly sitting on the pink rose just beautiful? Thank you Anne for this award.

Congratulations, Terry, and than you for nominating my blog.
Wikipedia’s explanation of a slanket: “A sleeved blanket is a unisex body-length blanket with sleeves usually made of fleece or Vellux material. It is similar in design to a bathrobe that is meant to be worn backwards (i.e., with the opening in the back). The product has been marketed by various brands as the Snuggie, Snuggler, Doojo, Toasty Wrap, and Slanket, with varying sizes, colors and qualities of materials but similar basic design. The “Snuggie” brand itself also became a phenomenon of pop culture, outselling other brands and being referenced or imitated by many comedians or TV shows.”
But the Urban Dictionary has a few additions that I wouldn’t want to get mixed up with this one.

Don’t put so much pressure on how many are reading. It is about impacting those that DO read.
Folks will always pass through and in / out.
I know I’ve come to realize, just write for you and the rest will fall the way it is suppose too. You will touch those you are meant too.
