Awarded! I’d like to thank…

Omg! I'm an uplifting blogger!

B J Keltz for giving me with the “Uplifting Blogger” award. I’d also like to thank -

*takes out a long list*

The bloggers who’ve inspired me ( I can’t think of any names at the moment :P ), the ones who’ve ignored the ghastly header and still come to read my post every time I publish something, I’d particularly like to thank my handful RSS subscribers for their loyalty and my parents. Mom, Dad – I love you!

Wait, my list isn’t done. I prepared for this moment you know!

*Takes a deep breath*… Gotcha! :P

Goofiness aside, I am truly flattered by the kind words BJ described me and my blogging with.

Samar is so kind and helpful.  Her post about her Zen seat just cracked me up.  She educates, enlightens, and encourages.

I couldn’t have asked for a better compliment than that. 

There are so many people I’d like to forward this to, but hardly anyone is the meme kinda person. So let me just list them and I’ll leave the decision to pass it on, to them.

Sal (Everyday Thoughts From Life) for always being there and helping me out. You got me my first regular gig and gave me my first guest post. Thank You.

Tony (Life With Tony) for being one of my first readers and letting me know that I wasn’t blogging in vain.

BJ (Enriched By Words) for the wonderful posts on writing and saturday morning posts – that have turned into a weekend post. And of course, for this award

Writer Dad - for his truly inspirational Mother’s Day Poem. I got my mum to read it and according to my sister she cooked some of my favourite foods that day. It’s what she does when she’s missing me. Now if only I could’ve been there to eat them.

James (MenwithPens) for being a sport about my ribbing and for having the most engaging blog posts I’ve come across in a long time.

Melinda (WAHMBizBuilder) for revealing the BS Funnel to me and making me realize how much time I spend in it.

All right, I’ll stop now or I’ll be spending the night awarding people (not that you don’t deserve it!)

You deserve this award like none other. Us writers, we have to stick together you know :) Here is to 30 more years (actually, probably even more than that now that I think about it) of working together to make things happen.

You Go Samar!
