7 Things About Me
1) My family didn't have an indoor bathroom until the year I graduated from high school
2) It took me a mere 29 years to get my master's degree (I did take a few years off during this time)
3) I'm a newspaper columnist
4) I self published a book of my newspaper columns
5) I cowrote a song that went to number 1 on European Indie record charts
6) I'm the middle child in a family of five kids. My older and younger brother both died too young
7) I've been married 36 years but it seems like only a moment.
I'm going to pass the award on to: Jilda at Transformation Information. She pours her heard and soul into her work and into her blog. Each time she posts, I read something inspiring.
I reached 136 followers today. I'm amazed. Thanks to you all.
Congratulations on the award. Enjoy learning more about you.

Congratulations! I really enjoy reading your posts. How lovely of you to hand it on to Jilda :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats! Well deserved!
ReplyDeleteWhen I first started blogging it seemed like every week or so someone was sporting some new bling on their sidebar from a friend giving them an award. It has been a while since I have seen any, so I didn't know if the practice was passee or I was just not running with the winners any more. ;) I handed one out myself once, but I don't think it went very far. Maybe I should do it again, because I really do read some winning blogs!

ReplyDeleteFirst one? Congratulations! And that's cool about your song.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy your writing and your not boring. So, I'm only surprised you don't have more followers. I find #1 very interesting. (no pun intended)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the award, and to the recipient. Wow about the song and sad about your brothers.
ReplyDeleteI've been married 9 years. It seems like a long time and only a moment, all at the same time:)
Hello Rick! this award is really nice, you get to know people a bit! I am so nosy and would love to know the title of the song, since I live in Europe ... maybe I know it. Though I might be too young.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your interest in my blog. Please excuse the spelling and grammar mistakes, I am a native Austrian (German as my mother tongue). Maybe you like to take a look at older postings, I recommend the label "Austria" because that's when I visit my favourite places and maybe you enjoy a virtual journey in the morning/afternoon/night.
