I’m HONORED, and as you all know I feel strongly that these awards let us bloggers known that others appreciate the work we do to bring some joy and learning in others lives with our posts, and at times “Musings.” Maybe the “Versatile part of this award is because I try to help others on my other *Recovery Blog* here on WordPress. http://CatherineLyonaddictedtodimes.wordpress.com
