Ok, here are my 10.</p>
<p>My faith<br />
My family<br />
My friends<br />
Honesty<br />
Love for others<br />
Continually Learning, developing new talents<br />
Happiness<br />
Living a Self Reliant Sustainable lifestyle<br />
Creativity<br />
Nature</p>
<p>Bet your list looked a lot like mine.  Susan had us do this for an exercise as part of her 3<a target="_blank" href="http://organicsyes30.blogspot.com/2009/11/5-write-list.html">0 days blogging event</a>.   One thing I noticed, and I think your will find true, wherever you go, most people have similar basic values, the things which are important to them.<br />
Here are a few and you&#8217;ll see what I mean:<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src='http://connectsimply.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/thinkingblogger.jpg' alt='Thinking Blogger Award' />  I&#8217;ve been tagged as a thinking blogger by <a target="_blank" href="http://workplace-ministry.com/2008/03/05/thinking-blogger-award/">Kathie Thomas</a> of Australia.  Double whammy, hit by <a target="_blank" href="http://talk2bev.blogspot.com/2008/03/im-thinking-baby-boomer-blogger.html">Beverly Mahone</a>.   Thanks!</p>
<p>Thanks for the Thinking Blogger Award, it is an honor.</p>
<p>The participation rules are simple:</p>
<p>       1. If, and only if, you get tagged, write a post with links to 5 blogs that make you think,<br />
       2. Link to this post so that people can easily find the exact origin of the meme,<br />
       3. Optional: Proudly display the ‘Thinking Blogger Award’.</p>
<p>And I&#8217;ll have to agree, there are many bloggers whose blogs make me stop and think, many I&#8217;ve seen tagged by others, and they truly are thinking bloggers.  Instead of repeating what others have said, here are 5 new ones I&#8217;m tagging today, visit their blogs and enjoy their wisdom.</p>
<p>   1. <a target="_blank" href="http://christinekane.com/blog/present-moment-awareness/">Christine Kane</a>   check out her thoughts on  &#8220;A New Earth&#8221;, her songs, organizing your life and much more.</p>
<p>   2. <a target="_blank" href="http://beasbeatitudes.blogspot.com/2008/03/dandelions-more-than-just-weed.html">Bea Kuntz</a> Did you know that dandelions were once used as a coffee substitute?  Our food choices should not be limited to what we find at Walmart, there is a much better way, learn about sustainable living and other bits of wisdom from Bea.</p>
<p>   3. <a target="_blank" href="http://organicsyes.wordpress.com/2008/04/04/hugs/">Susan Loughrin</a> I remember Susan a short time ago just learning what a blogging was, look at her go!  Enjoy her creativity.</p>
<p>   4. <a target="_blank" href="http://www.jmviews.com/2007/12/28/keep-it-simple-by-connecting-with-nature/">Jeanie Marshall </a>  Keep it simply by connecting with nature.   Yep, I need to spend more time with nature.   It has been too long since we&#8217;ve connected Jeannie, I hope all is going well with you.</p>
<p>   5. <a target="_blank" href="http://sachistudio.com/blog/">Dean Hua</a>  is another thinking blogger who is good making connections with others. I love what he does with his Dean&#8217;s list each year. Almost forgot about Dean as we don&#8217;t hang out in the same places online right now.  </p>
<p>Enjoy!</p>
