This Is Me--2024 A to Z Theme

My A to Z Themes in the past have covered a range of topics and for 2024 the theme is a personal retrospective that I call "I Coulda Been" which is in reference to my job and career arc over my lifetime. I'll be looking at all sorts of occupations that I have done or could have done. Maybe you've done some of these too!

Awards Jan 15

          Sorry for the hastily drafted post, but I wanted to acknowledge a couple of awards that came my way over the past month or so.  There is at least one more that I have not yet run across in my e-mails and I will be sure to recognize any others in an upcoming awards post.

First, from Stephen Tremp at Breakthrough Blogs I've received the Meat and Potatoes Award.  Almost looks as good as the dinner I had at Longhorn Steakhouse.  Thanks Stephen--I'm always up for a good steak.

Meat and Potatoes Award from Stephen Tremp





"You Inspire Me Award" from Yvonne Lewis
The ever-inspiring Yvonne from Welcome to My World of Poetry passed me this You Inspire Me Award.
Isn't it great how much we all inspire and support one another in our blog community.  Thank you Yvonne for another award.

           And that does it for this Saturday.   Thank you all for reading and be watching for some big news that will be coming soon.

    My thanks to all who visited today to offer their good wishes.
    Dezmond -- I guess the "meat and potatos award" has to do with blog content. It comes from the idiomatic expression which means something of substance or solid food.
    Rae and any others who want to know about the Blogging From A to Z April Challenge--Yes I'm doing it again and that is what the big news has to do with. I'll explain more in an upcoming post.
    Stephen -- I wish the big news had something to do with a book, but hopefully that will come later.
