2009 Brag Basket


Z and the nose pose

SMILE

Brag and boast time.  Take a few minutes out to share the best of your 2009.

In the comments brag on yourself or someone else you know. Tell us who, what, and how it made you feel.  Be sure to include links to your blog post or pics or both if you have them.

I’d like to share a couple of my own.

1) My wife reached a weight loss goal of 100 lbs.

2) My brother, battling ALS, is a continuous source of inspiration to me.

3) My daughter-in-law who continued raising three daughters with our son being deployed part of that time and working to the bone a good part of the rest.

4) My friend Karen Goodman who embraced social networking and social media with remarkable gusto and made it a successful and integrated part of her business.

5) A contractor, James, who completed a run of bathroom upgrades that took us multiple visits, many hours, and a bit of patience. He worked out so well I intend to recommend him to everyone.

How about you and your family and friends? Share something great with us!
