Kreativ Blogger Award

I LOVE SURPRISES!!!! Especially those so spectacularly timed! I'm not a woose (really)(well, ok, sometimes) but my Julification pages have had me pretty disgruntled. Lo! The wizard of poetry and play, Ms. Patty Mooney, of A Diary Left Open, sent me THIS award. Suddenly, I'm feeling an injection of renewed enthusiasm -- forget 'instant gratification' and go with the flow! TRY AGAIN! PRACTICE! And let it be, Ms. T!

I am to name six things for which I'm grateful, and also forward this award to six awesome blogs/bloggers.

Ah, gratefulness:
1. My male children, for energy & wit & cracking me up ALL THE TIME, and keeping me on my toes and for being so gorgeous they literally take my breath away - my oldest male child for the smile that undoes me, no matter what, and my youngest male child for his unique & fierce amber eyes and his cure-all forehead kisses.
2. Javier Bardem, for keeping me -- well -- uh -- ticklish.
3. Beth, Holly, Veronica, Sam, Alison for a recent counsel that kept me straight-headed and healed my heart.
4. Rain, today and any time, for the ambient internal and external moods and accompaniment.
5. Double BB for being so wonderful, so gorgeous, so damned difficult, so REAL. We keep at it!
6. Journals, can't imagine breathing without them.

And worthy blogs -- oh! I am SO predictable, but I'm on my same Blog Avenue in my happy Bloglandia Neighborhood, because they are so nourishing to me ...
1. Beth
1. Cam
1. Holly
1. Sam
1. Julie
1. Carla
1. Veronica

I love you women ... please accept this award like an invite for cupcakes, bubble blowing & liquid refreshment (whatever you desire) ... along with furniture jumping in my backyard 'furniture garden'. Possibly a food fight, probably some slip-n-slide action with Ciera.
