Soundtrack in my head:  The Telescopes, “Flying”

I was surprised to learn that Sus in Milwaukee awarded me a “You Make My Day” award. 

The award came with some instructions:  “Give the award to 10 people whose blogs bring you happiness and inspiration and make you feel happy about blogland. Let them know by posting a comment on their blog so they can pass it on. Beware you may get the award several times.”

You know, us bloggers type and type and press the “Publish” key sending our words into God know what realm, wondering who’s reading and why and what difference does it make anyway.  (For me it’s an addiction—that’s my excuse.)  I think a lot of us like to fool ourselves to thinking that our scribbles of idle fancy and self-important treatises will somehow make a difference in the world and in other people’s lives.  And the most bizarre thing is that this is sometimes quite true…

Accordingly, I’m passing the award on to Lacey,  Leila , Kelly, Rachel (with or without the pink beehive wig), Sholeh, Wendy (sibling unit 2 of 2), and back ‘atcha to Sus. You all make my day every time  you post.
