Last week I was much too busy.
So when I was tagged by artist Winsome Gunning and given a Thinking Blogger Award, I decided to postpone giving my awards until this week.
(”OH NO, ANOTHER MEME!” I thought at the time.)
But now, without futher ado, I present my THINKING BLOGGER AWARDS.
.
My first Thinking Blogger Award goes to Jana Allard. Jana has the perfect position in life to be way too “preachy,” but she isn’t. She’s sweet and warm and understanding. Jana makes me think. Thanks, Jana.
.
My second Thinking Blogger Award goes to Esbee. Esbee writes about her everyday life in Winston-Salem. She keeps me informed on lots of events I’d miss, if I didn’t read her blog. Esbee has a beautiful cat named Hadley. Esbee makes me think. Thanks, Esbee.
.
My third Thinking Blogger Award goes to Shirley Buxton for her Devotional site. Shirley has another blog and may want to present her awards there. She and her husband have more energy than I do and are building a new church. I think I make Shirley mad or at least frustrated sometimes, but Shirley makes me think. Thanks, Shirley.
.
My fourth Thinking Blogger Award goes to Terry, who presents some alternate views concerning people and places. Terry makes me think. Thanks, Terry.
.
My fifth Thinking Blogger Award goes to EarthPal, who left her “real name” in a comment on my blog and then told me not to tell anyone.
She writes about environmental issues. EarthPal makes me think. Thanks, EarthPal.
.
These are among the many blogs I read daily that cause me to think. And I just noticed I chose all blogs written by women. Better luck next time, guys!

Thank you, Helen, for giving me such a wonderful award.
Nope, you have never made me mad. We disagree from time to time…but are there any two people who always agree with each other? Doubtful. Why, I even disagree with myself occasionally.
What do I do with the award? Copy and place on my blog?
Love,
Shirley

Hi Shirley. You do make me think, and I love you for it (and for other reasons as well but let’s keep religion out of this).
I agree about disagreeing with myself occasionally.
Copy and paste the award onto your blog. But whether or not the “maker” of this “award” will someday “call all the little clonies home” or not, I do not know (nor do I actually care.) Enjoy it, while you have it. “It” being the copy-and-pastable award; the love won’t get recalled. You make me think too much, dear sister.

Hi Mandy, I visit so many blogs. It was hard to pick just five. If blogs don’t make me think, I stop going to them. But I’ve mad so many friends since I started blogging.

WOW, Helen! I feel so honored! I am just a beginner blogger and feel shock and awed by your award to me. I must say if I were giving awards, you would be the top of my list. You cause me to think and that generates inspiration.

Helen, thanks very much. This is ‘especially’ special because it comes from someone who I greatly admire and warm to.
Am I right in thinking that I now should choose five bloggers to give the award to?

You are welcome, EarthPal. Yes, give five awards.

Thanks, Helen! Since I write on a lot of personal and eclectic stuff, I’m very honored. I’ll try to do my list sometime this week.
