morning rituals and the kreativ blogger

i have many morning rituals which i enjoy. laying in bed lazily, drinking a liter of water, taking my vitamins, going on a five mile walk and reading insidecandy.co.za. candy is a remarkable writer whose blog includes excerpts from her published poetry, political commentary, insight into how her mind works, and witty, goofy blurbs. it's mesmerizing.

how cool was it to see that i am one of seven blogs she loves to read. she was kind enough to pass on the kreativ blogger award. and here's how it goes. i was asked to rake my mind and come up with seven things i love as well as seven blogs i love.

i found it a challenge when forced to sit down and think of seven things that i love. not that my mind went blank. the reverse, actually. i had to be tough and hone down my list. so, below is my final compilation of:

seven things i love (in no particular order):

1.) the whipped cream mustache you get with your first sip of hot cocoa.

2.) the scent of my husband's skin when i lay my face on his chest.

3.) fitting into a pair of "just washed and dried" jeans without having to do squats.

4.) the first coke of the day.

5.) les nuits d'hadrien and the way it makes me feel when i'm wearing it.

6.) watching my black belt girls kick ass in tae kwon do.

7.) sheetcake from safeway.

equally difficult, was trying to choose seven blogs that i love. but the following make me think, make me laugh, make me question, make me smile and make me a better person for having read them. so, with no further ado, i present to you:

seven blogs i love (again, in no particular order):

1.) amyvenezia.com

2.) gurushabad1.blogspot.com

3.) soulmeetsworld.com

4.) brookebenthin.com

5.) healthnutwannabeemom.blogspot.com

6.) christine-livepassionately.blogspot.com

7.) and right back atcha, candy, insidecandy.co.za

go ahead and pass it along, or just bathe in the glory...
