Shelli over at Shelli’s Sentiments has awarded me the Thinking Blogger award. I’m honored. She thinks I’m a Thinking Blogger because I inspire her because of my daughter being in the Army and deployed to Iraq. Thank you so much Shelli!

Now I have some bloggers I think deserve the award too.

First a reminder of the rules:

1. If, and only if, you get tagged, write a post with links to 5 blogs that make you think.

2. Link to this post so that people can easily find the exact origin of the meme.

3. Optional: Proudly display the ‘Thinking Blogger Award’

And the awardees:

Old Guy’s Treehouse – OldGuy has arthritis in his hands pretty bad and yet he is able to post almost everyday. He’s also had a few family upsets recently. He’s an inspiration to me because he shows that you can overcome problems and keep life moving on a reasonably even keel

Kat at My Single Mom Life has been through hell in her life. She’s had surgeries for severe scoliosis and is a single mom of 2 boys. I admire her for how she deals with the rotten stuff life throws at her.

Erin at Whatever Blows My Skirt is an inspiration to me too. She’s a writer and a single mom and has had problems in her life and she’s overcoming them.

Cat at Living With Multiple Personalities is an inspiration to me. After reading her blog about her having multiple personality issues and the causes of it led me to post something that happened in my childhood. It felt good to get it out in the open and I thank Cat for allowing that to happen.

Tricia over at Tricia’s Musings is a great blogger. She inspires me to try to write better. She makes me think!
