I Got An E!!!

This is tickles me because the grading scale my kids had in schools in Kansas City when they were growing up gave an E as the top grade on the point grading system.

OK, now zoom ahead twenty to thirty years .... I got an E!! Me! I got an E!!!




I was bestowed this grade honor by Catherine. Coming from Catherine makes it extra special, because she is, among other admirable qualities, a writer. A real writer, as in published!! So the fact that she is willing to use the word "Excellent" in regards to my my blog is awesome, I think!

I, in my turn, get to pass this along to other blogs that rate as Excellent.

• Jenster and Sherry are both women whose strength and attitude are qualities I admire and covet. In some ways we all look at the life struggles of others and think, "Wow, I don't know if I could do that." That is how I feel about the way these two remarkable women have done battle with breast cancer, and in fact, still do, in a survivor capacity. Each has her own special je ne sais quoi in how they deal with daily life. Their positive outlooks and willingness to share the stories of their lives with the world through their blogs make me say, "Excellent!"
• Loving Annie inspires me as a woman of today in ever sense of the word. Annie has a kind and loving attitude toward the world in general, but she has the guts to admit that even a loving, gentle lady has a libido. So many of us have bought into the idea that we are lady or tramp and that there is nothing in between. Aha! cries Annie! Not so! A woman has multiple facets and levels within the facets, all wrapped up into a complex bundle. And being all those pieces and parts is OK. Ask Annie. Womanhood is "Excellent," as Annie can show us all!
• Caroline is a long time friend IRL as well as my mentor in Bloggerville. She is an example for me in living life as it comes to you. Her life as been filled with sudden twists, sharp turns, grinding hills to climb, and breakneck, eye-popping down hill zooms ... yet she survives. And she manages to smile. She is the example of bounce-back-and-don't-give-up living in a world that is more than challenging than any of us wish it were. Her style for living is "Excellent!"

So there you have it. My examples of Excellence in Blogging! Alright, ladies, it's up to you now. Pass the torch!
