Blog Nirvana: Courage, Bugs, and Bite Size Nuggets

November 29, 2008

This was a short week for many of us in Blogopolis. My reading was a little lighter than normal, to make room for all that cooking, cleaning, and eating! We’re still lying around in hyperglycemic comas here, I hope some of you are up and moving.

“Today. You have a choice. You can choose to worry when life confronts you with it’s challenges. Or you can choose to live your life. Taking care of what you do have control over. Yourself. Your actions. What do you choose?” Lance http://www.jungleoflife.com/2008/11/18/dont-worry-be-happy/

“Self-esteem is not based on what you give your children, or on flattering words. It is based on an attitude of acceptance of who they are, and encouragement for the effort behind their actions.” Corey http://www.parenttolaunch.com/building-your-childs-self-esteem.html#more-156

“And readers too want to experience that very same instant result with your content. They don’t want to waffle through mountains of information. They want a nice, quick bite to begin with.” Sean D’Souza http://www.copyblogger.com/ramen-noodle-content/#more-1417

“Sometimes it takes courage just to get out of bed and face another day. It takes courage to look in the mirror. Courage to look at the checkbook balance, the Visa bill, and the unpaid stack of medical bills piling up in the corner.” Wendi Kellyhttp://lifeslittleinspirations.com/collecting-courage

“Even when bugs move in, appliances threaten to die, and the kids act squirrelly, there is room for laughter and love. (And even if you can’t quite find laughter and love in the moment, you can trust they haven’t left for good—they’re just taking a little break.)” Kristen, commenting at Writer Dad. http://halfwaytonormal.com

“I don’t think it’s a coincidence that I am more confident and happy with myself today than I have ever been. I am no longer looking for happiness in all the wrong places. I know it’s not found in house square footage or shiny gadgets. I know it has nothing to do with what I have and has everything to do with what I am. Choosing to live on less today has made me feel full of more. More love, more appreciation, more creativity, more peace, more time, more space.” Emily http://www.remodelingthislife.com/2008/11/25/unexpected/

Emily,

I enjoyed your blog this week! That Writer Dad is a peach, eh?

Lance,

:D You are so welcome. Send me links to new blogs you find, will 'ya? I'm looking for a few new good ones. My reader is looking lonely. :)

Matthew,

If Ramen noodles sound good, you need to eat more, write a little less. :) and have a couple of Turkey Day cookies I'm looking forward to this week's Tree post.

Hi Jamie,

I am SO far behind on reading and commenting this week, so my apologies for getting to thanking you four days late. How nice to be in such great company.!

Now you have given me even more to read! Luckily, I have most of these in my feedreader, so I have gotten to some already! Thanks for the great list!
