Measuring Up

My new friend Kimber at "I Know, Right?" gave me this blog award and I am very pleased.

It's been a long ride for Bearsmountain and myself, it's nice to know somebody actually reads my endless jabbering. Anyway Kimber P thank you!

1. Say Something Special to the man in your life.

Small Son, what can I say, I love you more than I can say, you were the start of everything beautiful in my life, and you are one of the best things that has ever happened to me. Because I don't like to follow the rules much, I'm going to say something about the other man in my life. Daddy, I'll miss you forever, I'll love you for always, thank you for being my dad and for loving me the way you do.

2. List 6 Ways you measure success in your life.

Small Son & Little Miss

My job

My friends

My inner peace and happiness

Did I get enough coffee on any given day?

Did I get to talk to that special someone today?

3. Assign 5 other blogs you feel are worthy of this award.

Earth Muffin, from "The Land of Earth Muffin", for your absolute support and friendship for the last year or so.

Janet, from "Mid Life Clarity" for being a wise sage for me, and for always knowing just how to kick my butt.

CJ, from "Martini Cartwheels" because you are funny as hell and have cute dogs.

Dharma Kelleher because she is the bomb.

Brad @ Kabuto Farm because he is the nicest blog around.
