Hope, Courage, and Faith

Hope, courage, and faith. Don't I need those qualities and in abundance I might add. Sometimes I lose hope that we will, as a species, even be here in a hundred years. It takes courage to go on reproducing the next generation and helping the generations that come after that. As for faith, well, with my lack of faith I have little hope so maybe I ought to get more of that faith stuff to sustain me.

This award was given to me awhile back by Susan of phantsythat. Susan is a very intelligent, sensible woman who just happens to be a very creative and fabulous artist. I count myself lucky to have her as a blog friend.

There are no instructions involved with this award and I can pass it to whomever I choose. I am going to pass it on to those who I've met in the blogging world that I have known for awhile and who still come to visit me on a regular basis because as the award states: "[ for those] who came and never left your side." That should narrow it down some!

So without further ado let me give this prestigious award to:

Randal of L'ennui mélodieux because he has been a great blogging buddy. Once he starts reading you he comes back again and again. BIG smooches to you Randal! I admire your dedication, your loyalty, your profession (wink, wink) and your love of music and poetry. Don't mind the award being named after a chick okay?

Another guy I want to pass this on to is Steve of Monkey Muck. He started coming over here several years ago and although we don't always see eye to eye on every subject he is a loyal and devoted liberal willing to put his ideas to blog and shout out about it, which I admire very much.

Mnmon of Happy to be From Iowa is a true friend indeed. When I get my pity party on and I think that no one cares Mnmom comes over and leaves a great therapeutic comment meant to put some salve on the wound. Now THAT is a good friend to have! She needs some of the same herself from time to time as corporate America does their best to screw over her family.

I hope this little gift from me to thee cheers you up or makes your day. And thanks Susan for making mine!

Vive la bibliothèque!

I certainly don't mind, in fact, imagine if it was called The Larry Award. Doesn't have the same zing, ya know? ;-)

DMVM--you're welcome.

Randal--The Larry Award doesn't have the same kind of panache that's for sure.

okjimm--let me know when you get that award done. I wanna see it :)

I'm delighted to see you posted the award (which you very much deserved) and then passed it on to some very cool people. You know I'm fond of Randal in spite of (or maybe because of) his effortless crankiness. Dr. Monk and Mnmon I know only as commenting companions but they're cool.

Now maybe I'll drop by okjimm's place to see if he needs any help designing the Larry Award. I'll do it as long as I don't have to paint any cheese.
