Celebrate the Small Things - July 15

Today we celebrate the accomplishments of the week, be they big or small. This blog hop is hosted by the amazing Lexa Cain and her co-hosts: L.G. Keltner and Tonya Drecker. Let's get started.

1. This is a big one: the generosity of the blogging community. When I asked for help promoting my short story collection, I expected maybe seven or so volunteers. I got more than triple that, even one from this blog hop who offered way before I asked. Today M.J. Fifield is allowing me to be a guest blogger over at My Pet Blog for a discussion/book promo on spooky baby monitor tales. And Diana Wilder has some lovely things to say about the collection over at ...about myself, by myself...

2. I mentioned that my husband and I celebrated our 13th wedding anniversary by running a 5K race on July 4. I did beat him, but not by the couple of minutes as in our 2015 race. He was right on my heals this time, 8 seconds behind. Yikes! If I want to keep the lead next year, I'll have to train. Not that I'm sure this is all that important. These days I'm more interested in running longer distances than shorter times. 

3. Have you heard of the running man challenge? Basically, whenever you hear a certain part of the song "My Boo" by the Ghost Town DJs you are supposed to drop whatever you're doing and start the running man dance.

Anyhoo, a fellow by the handle of WolfieRaps got creative and decided to take the challenge to a whole 'nother level. If you need to de-stress and giggle yourself silly, this is so worth a look. It will also make you want to run out and buy your own T-rex suit. (Thanks to my daughter for sharing this with me.)





How was your week? Are you looking up the running man dance yet? Any awesome YouTube video pranks you love?
