Shocked

I'm still shocked with an email I recorded yesterday.  Just read it again and I'm still shocked.  

I've been chosen to be a recipient of The Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal "for your exemplary efforts to make your community a great place to live. It recognizes the important role municipalities – and their elected leaders – play in ensuring our prosperity and high quality of life."   

WOW! Is right. I would have never dreamt of receiving this award, not now and not in a million years. 

Of the millions of nominations across Canada, I was one of 60,000 individuals that was chosen to receive the medal.  I don't think what I've done as remarkable and warrants the recognition of this medal. I'm  sure that there must be other nominees that have done considerably more then I.  

I'm at a lost for words to describe how I'm feeling.   Shocked.... elated.... stunned.... disbelief.... humbled.... honored.... proud.... all these feelings swirling inside me.  

It's going to a little while before this sets in.
