I received an award last week that was such an honor my brain is still swimming that me and this little ol’ blog were recogized in the context of what this award is recognizing. This blog is closing in on one year old. I write several blogs, but this one is just somehow “special.” My blogs are all different, but for some reason, this blog speaks my heart more than any of my others. I write about the things that I think are important here. I yell about them sometimes! I want people to hear these important things that need to be heard. It’s not all about bad news, though…even though sometimes it seems it is. I think my favorite posts to write on Lofty Matters are my “Good News” posts that I try to do every weekend. In these posts, I write about at least three current events that are absolutely positively GOOD news! This never fails to raise my spirits at least a little bit…sometimes a lot!
My deepest and most heart-felt thanks go out to Windmill for thinking of me and my blog and passing this award on to me. I am honored.
So, without further delay, I proudly display my
