five blogs that make me go hmmmm...

wow, i am so honored to have been awarded the thinking blogger award by NotSoccer Mom. while she is my best friend, she also is one of the main people that make me think. she helps me keep abreast of issues that affect me as a woman and as a human being. her spirit reminds me that we can triumph over adversity and her way of caring makes me aspire to be more like her.

here are five other bloggers that make me think:
1. Meg Fowler. Meg is a bright, witty woman whose writing talent astounds me and even makes me jealous.
2. Jemima. Jemima never ceases to make me laugh with her and sometimes at her with her thoughtful entries.
3. Holly at nothing but bonfires. Holly's writing sometimes makes me want to weep at the beauty of it.
4. Irene of magazine smiles. She really makes me think about my health and my body as i read about her training for and competing in 5/10 K's, half marathons and full marathons. Her blog inspired me through my training for my first (and only) triathlon.
5. how could any list be complete without a sheep? my last person/people are the lovely and talented Maria and Stefano over at BAAAHHH, who have shown me that it is possible to have a dream and make it a reality through hard work and determination.

Should you choose to participate, please make sure to pass this list of rules to the blogs you are tagging. The participation rules are simple:

1. If you get tagged, write a post with links to five blogs that make you think,
2. Link to the original post so that people can easily find the exact origin of the meme, and
3. Optional: Proudly display the 'Thinking Blogger Award' with a link to the post that you wrote.

thanks, NSM!
