Thank you to http://www.jumbledwriter.com/2013/01/20/very-inspiring-blogger-award-apparently-not-a-joke/ who has nominated me for the Very Inspiring Blogger award. I’m so glad JW has found my blog inspiring. Since I’m an amateur writer, I feel somewhat honored to have this award nomination.                                                                                                                                              

According to the rules of this award, I must display the logo, list seven facts about myself and nominate 15 other blogs for this award. While I don’t like the idea of people being required to nominate (it seems a little chain letterish), I will nominate the sites that inspire me most.

More about me:

1. I’ve played guitar for 38 years.
2. I’m a Sharks hockey fan.
3. Hang gliding is on my bucket list.
4. I don’t really like to travel, but I’ve been to 17 states and 8 countries.
5. My favorite color is green.
6. When I was a kid, I organized all my books like a library. Yes, with a card catalog.
7. My oldest grandson is 3 months older than my youngest son.  Figure that out!

I nominate the following blogs:

1. http://riveradouthit.com
2. http://lostcompanion.wordpress.com
3. http://tracycampbell.net/blog
4. http://photogirltravels.com
5. http://bucketlistpublications.com
6. http://unshakablehope.wordpress.com
7. http://s3city.com
8. http://hikingphoto.com/2013/01/23/castle-mountain/
9. http://thecommonzenseofstjames.wordpress.com/2013/01/25/one-step-at-a-time/

That’s it. I’m sure there are numerous other blogs worthy of an inspiration award, but I have yet to find and have the pleasure of reading them.
