I'll be the first to say, I think the whole "Chicken Soup for the _____'s Soul" gimmick got very tired, fast. The other day I was at the grocery store and saw that they have Chicken-Soup-for-the-Soul-inspired pet food. But today I was trying to describe Jo(e) to someone. I said, "She has four kids, she's an academic, and she's really compassionate. I get a soothing feeling reading her blog." Her blog is, I have to say, rather chicken soup-y (in a good way!). As are Dale's, Jodi's, Heather's, and Zoot's. What about you all? What blogs are chicken soup for you?

I like all of the knitting blogs. They keep me away from the politics and infighting.
Which may also explain my penchant for cat and music blogging.

What makes it "chicken soup"
I was trying to explain it, and here are the characteristics I came up with. These bloggers are happy, sincere, sensitive, attentive, not cynical, funny, thoughtful, creative, intelligent, and you can tell they have a real appreciation of every moment.
