*Awards Ceremony

Drum Roll Please!!!

It’s time to bestow five awards to some of the wonderful people who make my little corner of the blogosphere a better place. Thank you again One Mystical Monkey for My First Blogger Award which alows me to honor others.

Though I know she just received the Thoughtful Blogger Award, I am still going to pass that award on to Gabrielle. Not only is her writing wonderfully evocative, she never fails to make you feel at home during your visit. How to Survive Suburban Life

Though I haven’t spent a lot of time at her site, I really think LJW deserves the Thoughtful Blogger Award because her whole blog is honoring others. Imagine. That blows my mind. REMARKABLE BLOGGERS
Honoring Bloggers

The Courageous Blogger Award I will pass to my son who is getting back in shape for Ironman triathlons after a long time away from working out. I think just the fact that he tells us each week what he weighs when he is not feeling good about that number is reason enough to bestow this award. The Road Back to Ironman

“I’ll pack up my emotional baggage and start breathing.” Ya gotta love it. That’s a quote from Universe in a Single Atom I haven’t spent a lot of time there either, it’s too much like reading my own writing, but I think the name of the blog is reason enough to bestow The Inspirational Blogger Award.

Thanks to all of you for making the blogosphere a rewarding place to spend some time!
