The Blogger who receives this award will need to perform the following steps:

2. The Award Conditions must be displayed at the Post. (Done: via this section!)
3. Write a short article about what the Blog has thus far achieved – preferably citing one or more older Post to support. (Ah heck, just go back to any of my former posts. I don't know which one to cite?) (What has this blog thus far acheived? Well, I hope it made just one person smile. It sure has helped me get back to writing again, which has always been a passion of mine. This is a wonderful tool to get supportive feedback from other writers.)
4. The Blogger must present the Noblesse Oblige Award in concurrence with the Award conditions. (See below for how I am doing this)

Now: To meet #4:

I want those reading this post to go to my list of Favorite Blogs at the end of my blogsite.

If you are listed, and have NOT gotten this award bestowed on you yet, then consider this your award notice.

Congratulations!

I love reading ALL of your blogs...everyday. When I get up in the morning, I always read your blogs as part of my daily routine (unless I am in a hurry to get out the door. When that happens, I try and read them before bed each day. I am truly addicted).

Is there a self-help group for us? I can see me now.....HI, My name is "The Retired One" and I can't stop reading blogs"................................................
