Thursday Morning Letter to the Blogging World

I love how intelligent you are.
I am not so sure about your rants...but for now they make me laugh.
Your seriousness but quirky sense of humor,
The patience and consistent brand of being, parenting, writing, photographing,
Your human-ness--
all in one, is such a package.

Private yet Uninhibited.

This is a very interesting combination.
I ponder you, half my waking hours.

and I will continue to do so today as I:
1. Clean up around here. (check)
2. Drive to the drugstore to pick up my prescription. (check)
3. Pick up the gift cards I ordered and pay school tuition as well. (check)
4. Attend to that new @#$%^& home pc that has crashed and box it up in preparation for a trip to Best Buy. (got it replaced. now i need my tech support to walk me through the process of hard coding an IP address.)
5. Make a trip to the party store for Gabi's shindig this saturday (check)
6. And if able, do an online certification class. (check)
(for that training class I pretend to work on)

You are an inspiration to me.
You do do do.
Everything.
You are very industrious.
You put me to shame.
(although I am not ashamed, so not to worry)

I shrug, take strength from positive influences I read from you
and make a resolve to shower and face my day.

P.S. Abaniko, Thank you for grading the writing level on my blog. (<-click on this)
If I knew the email address of my UP professor,
Ricky DeUngria
--I would send him to your blog.
He gave me a 3.0 in Freshman English.
(that's a by-the-skin-of-my-teeth passing grade)

Well I love the way you write, you are insightful, sassy, funny, smart and sensitive.

That's a 4.0 in my book, so take that and put it up over the 3.0.

Big hugs, love this post.

On behalf of the blogging community, I feel both compelled to accept this outpouring of gratitude and to point out that I've put on a tux for no other reason than to accept this honor. I realize that your gratitude was shot gunned across the blogosphere, but I've seen you with a shotgun and I'm going to take advantage of the fact that you've really no idea where the pellets spewed. Plus, given I'm the first reader to show up in a tux, I think I get to represent the blogging community when I say that you'll find your gratitude echoing back at you from the pages of our own blog. (Something about the week after Thanksgiving that perhaps makes our obligatory thankfulness transform into something spontaneous - I felt a similar awe at the quality of my reading audience today (you included) who recently left such great advice to an open-ended question.)

It's always a pleasure to come across blogs such as yours Cheska.

I would like to borrow that first paragraph and say it to you!

I've hopped over to Abaniko's blog and saw the rating- I wholeheartedly agree!

Ron, what can I say...???

You are a 4.0 (that's the highest in a Jesuit U) by my book Ches. Grades, do not make the blogger. You had it in you all the time. Maybe De Ungria just couldn't appreciate it.

Tani said...

Thanks for the link Chesca. And to Abaniko too. I also checked my blog's level.

I love the way you write. You should have been a contributor (something like Reader's Digest)because you're most of time amusing. :) You're not scared to make fun of yourself and you are very likeable. :)

Dee said...

An ode to the blogging world...great !!!

And I am nodding and agreeing with your lovely letter.!

Tani said...

That's wonderful, Chesca. I was also supposed to meet up with other bloggers, Jo and Rach, but I had NCLEX review class that time. Sige, let's meet up. You name the place and I'll be there. :) Here's my email ad. tani_dv@yahoo.com

Gypsy said...

This is such a superb tribute to bloggers. Only from the deep-diving Chesca. Thanks, as I feel alluded to, too.
