All this talk has got me thinking

Several weeks ago I was honored to be nominated in the Share the love blog awards in the inspirational blog category. I was very surprised and honored that someone would nominate me. It got me thinking though, "Am I really that inspirational?". I wouldn't classify myself as being such. Someone out there nominated me though, thank you. Nonetheless, and a huge surprise to many of you I'm sure, I did not win the coveted award. I actually, truth be told, did not even vote for myself. I voted for someone else whom I thought actually was inspirational.

Now there has been talk around the bloging world of blogs that make you think. Now I'm in big trouble. I started blogging because my brother started a blog as a way to keep in touch, not that he has even written anything on his blog since Christmas. He offered to start a blog for me and I told him sure. Thus began "Our Lot in Life". My thoughts are neither funny, clever, inspirational or cause a pause for thinking, much less pondering. I guess I use my blog for a couple of different things. One to do a little journaling that I otherwise might not do, hence, Memory Monday. It is also a way for me get rid of the little thoughts that run through my brain (that is little too). It has been an outlet for me as well. I never realized that I would actually meet people though. I always thought people that met other people on-line were a little weird. Maybe if you didn't spend so much time on-line you could make real friends. Boy, was I ever mistaken. Not only that, but I quickly ate my words.

So even though you may not find my blog inspirational, funny or thought provoking - I hope that you find it at least not completely boring. Is that too much to hope for?

Just so you all know, I'm not phishing for compliments. Nor am I hoping that I will get the consolation prize award. These were just the thoughts running through my head this morning so this is what landed on my blog today.
