I win an award!

For those of you who have been sending me emails and leaving comments as to the whereabouts of new blog entries…fear not!  I have some more.  I must apologize, as I am indeed very far behind.  Current entries have me at the border between Mozambique and Tanzania.  Real life has me sitting in an internet cafe in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia!  And I’ve already been here 3 months!  I apologize and assure you that I intend keeping on with it, even though I am so embarrasingly behind.  Unfortunately, I have to admit that my memory might not be as in tune with the events that took place way back in the way back, as I don’t have my handwritten journals to remind me of the unique details of each day.  But, as I sit in front of the computer and reminisce, the events and images come to mmind so clearly, it’s almost as if I’m reliving it again.  That’s what I like about writing this blog, but that’s what makes it so difficult to keep up with – I find myself daydreaming about my experiences while staring at the screen.

If you’ve paid any attention to comments left by “fans” recently, you will notice a lot of comments by Kendall (aka GrannyGold).  She has become a fan of mine, and I really appreciate her comments, concern, and her own writing as well.  Her blog is here: Kendall’s Quest.  This morning I noticed that she nominated me as one of her top five “Thinking Blogs.”  You can read her entry here: Thinking Blogs!  Imagine that…I’m far behind, and think my writing is sloppy, and sometimes incohesive or boring!  Not to mention that there are hundreds of millions of other little thoughts, comments, and observations I would love to share with you all but don’t find the relevance or context to fit them in smoothly.  Anyway — Thanks Kendall!

    Now I can put this nifty little picture on my blog! 

I’m completely new to this whole blogging tag thing, and I guess now I’m supposed to name five of my favorites.  But I don’t have any!  I don’t even have time to write my own blogs, let along sit in front of a computer at an internet cafe and read others.  Anyway, I’ll think about it.  But, a million thanks to Kendall for the nomination/award!

    It’s my very great pleasure, Tania, to introduce others to your blog. I love the way you hurl your body through life with abandon! You risk it all, again and again, and sometimes you do get yourself into messes, but you are as resilient as a dandelion, and as full of changes. You’re one in a million, and the zest with which you write about your adventures makes your blog riveting. I hope you find a place to stay that rewards you enough for you to catch up with the blog, because I’m still waiting with held breath to hear how it went in Zanzibar.
