A Handful of Inspiration

Tery at Peace of Mind has give me the Inspirational Blogger Award.

Thank you Tery! I don't feel especially deserving, but I will pass on to you my picks for Inspirational Bloggers:

Stephany at Soulful Sepulcher inspires me every day with her courage, her love for her family, and her search for the truth. All the while being the most giving and encouraging mother I've ever met. Thanks Stephany, and keep fighting the good fight.

Mark (Psychiatric Survivor) and I rarely agree, on anything. He's anti-psych and anti-med, and I'm a believer (with a healthy degree of skepticism) in both. But he's an inspiration to me because he is living his life now the way he wants to and sharing it with the rest of us.

Crazy Tracy is a believer in ECT, but that doesn't make it any less frightening to endure. Tracy faces her daily trials with humor and grace. She is a "must read" every day. Thank you for sharing, Tracy.

There are so many bloggers out there that are inspiring to me, I could go on all day. But I will close with two carers who continue to amaze me with their love and understanding, Mr. Man's Wife and Mike (Anonymous Dad). They get angry, heartbroken, and they don't always recognize the one they love beneath the illness. But they persevere and continue to lavish love and affection. If they can do it, I can do it.

This award does not come with any rules as far as I know. You can right click on the award image and copy it. If you want to bestow this award on others, please do!

Thanks for the mention and the link Anonymous Mom.

Does this mean I am a receiver of the award too? Do I need to award others? How many? And is there an original source that I need to link back to?

Thanks for the award/respect. You wrote "he is living his life now the way he wants to".
In my life, nothing is new, as the word "now" implies. There is no alternative to the way my life runs, so I don't see any want>working to>goal success there. When younger I had dreams.

anon mom said...

i hope you still have dreams, mark. without them, what have we got?

You are an awesome mom!
