Lilac Colored Glasses

I took a few days off from blogging, mostly to let you all bask in the beauty of my last post because it’s been dreary and rainy and I have been less than inspired following what I wrote last. Sometimes I manage to write something that surpasses my own expectations and then I seem to stall out and it takes a few days to rev back up. I don’t know if it’s because I know the next thing I write won’t equal what I just wrote, or if writing that quality of material just sucks the writing juice out of my head and I have to give my author gland (you didn’t know about the author gland?) some recovery time. Either way, I still don’t have much to say today, but I did want to tell you that I got a bloggy award this week from Jientje, and here it is:

“The Humane Award is in order to honor certain bloggers that I feel are kindhearted individuals. They regularly take part in my blog and always leave the sweetest comments. If it wasn’t for them, my site would just be an ordinary blog. Their blogs are also amazing and are tastefully done on a daily basis. I thank them and look forward to our growing friendships through the blog world.” Recipients of this award should write a post about it, linking to the person gifted the award, along with ten of their own nominees.”

I want to award this to any of you who leave comments here. It’s so hard to try to choose ten people when so many people stop by and read and leave their mark here, so if you’ve commented on my blog, please feel free to take this award for your own blog (or print it out and make a badge for yourself if you don’t blog).

Now, the crux of this post: Jientje says in her post that “it’s because I “met”her I started blogging in English in the first place!”
It was this comment that got me out of my procrastinating rut and inspired me to finally harass CB into installing a whole new sub blog so that I could start blogging in Dutch.

If you have the time, especially my Dutch speaking readers, I would appreciate it if you stop by my shiny new Dutch only (I can translate for you if you’re English speaking and still interested) blog, Komkommertijd, and feel free to make any suggestions/corrections. I need all the help I can get!
