I’ve been tagged with the honorable Thinking Blogger Award by Marilyn of Ivy and Lace Cottage, Cindy at Romantic Homes, and my very own sister Nicole of Sister’s Choice.  I am so very flattered to be included as one of the blogs that inspires you in some way.

I had to laugh as I read Cindy’s post because she says anyone that has a blog should get the award because if you are like her then blogging is something you are thinking about constantly.  When I leave the house I aways check to make sure I have my keys, my cell phone and my camera because you just never know when blogging inspiration is going to strike you and you best be prepared!

I couldn’t possibly just list five blogs that inspire me – look at my list on the right – that’s only a partial list of the blogs that inspire me and that I frequently visit.  I’ve just been too lazy to update my links (okay okay – it’s on my to do list).

When I started blogging nine months ago I did it more as a journal for myself.  I’ve never been able to keep a regular, hand written journal because in order for my thoughts to flow cohesively and somewhat coherently (most of the time) I have to be typing.  My brain doesn’t work when I write by hand.   So I started a blog, writing to an imaginary reader.  Amazingly enough I started getting some real, live readers and that’s when the inspiration really started.  I felt, what?  Validated, in some small way, I suppose.  I’m read ~ therefore I am.  It’s very basic, this universal need to be heard.

So what I am trying to get at is that my inspiration is you.  Yes you.  Thank you for listening to me.

    Your reasons for starting a blog are much like mine. I don’t think I would do well with a handwritten journal. Had no idea what I would find to write about. And yes…the camera goes everywhere I go!!;-)

    Also, I look at blogging as “brain therapy”. At my age, or any age, it is a very good thing to keep those grey cells active!!

    Thank you for inspiring me!
