Thinking Bloggers Awards

ThinkingBloggerAward

Beverly Jackson recently honored me by including my name in her Thinking Bloggers Awards.

Good advice, in my opinion. Childish enthusiasm is a quality I greatly admire in people, maybe because mine is sometimes in short supply, so I need regular booster shots. It’s a trait that tends to be present in most of the people whose blogs I return to. (more…)
