The Kept Woman tagged me as a blogger who makes her think in some way. (How John Stamos is not one of the things I make her think about, I have no idea. Clearly I'm not writing about him nearly enough.) Thank you for the honor, TKW.

In turn, I'm supposed to list five blogs that make me think:

Von Krankipantzen - I thought of Kranki immediately for this meme because her very way of thinking is one of the things I adore about her. She views the world with such wit. When I read about her life, I marvel at how I completely relate to her and yet, at the same time, how uniquely creative her perspective is. To get a glimpse inside her mind is a delight.

Crankopotamus - Dave makes me think about the moments. As you surely know by now, I love the little moments. And Dave writes about them in a way that really reaches me. He's a recent widower raising his 3 year-old son, and I've become quite smitten with both of them. You will, too.

mind the gap - Written in poetic prose, Anna's posts are always profound.

Superhero Journal - Sincere thoughts of a beautiful spirit. Andrea's musings actually make me consider how I can be a better person. Click through her archives for gorgeous photos and rich reflections.

big Alba - A different perspective.

(Those tagged may continue the meme, but are in no way obligated to do so.)

I've waited until now to post this because Rob and I are going on a trip and I thought I'd leave you with some folks to visit while we're gone. But don't wander off too far - I'm hoping to update some along the way.
