Best of the Blogosphere November

The month of November went by in a flash. It was an OK month. A few emotional ups and downs but overall a lot to be thankful for at Thanksgiving. But this post is not about my emotional peaks and valleys or an account of my many, many, blessings. This post is about the Best of the Blogosphere!!! I want to share with you my favorite posts that I have come across this month, my favorite post that I wrote, and the post that you joy chasers had the most to say about.
So, in no particular order, here are the best posts I came across this month:

• An Optimistic Mom dropped some knowledge in her post Things I Have Learned Blogging. I still feel very much like a novice blogger even though it has been almost two years since I started Casing Joy. I enjoyed all of her tips and I bet you will too.
• Cirque Du Mon shared what she is thankful for and gave out some info on how to set up a life stream feed in her post Giving Thanks and Giving Back.
• One of my favorite bloggers A Girl Named Michael answered the question that I have been wondering since I first discovered her blog in the post How to Date Your Friends Ex-Husband.  I just realized that SweetMJ actually wrote this post back in June but I discovered it in November so it still counts in my Best of the Blogosphere.
• Last but certainly not least Nice Girl Notes had me cracking up with her stick figures in her post First World Problems Part 2.

So check out all of these or at least some of these posts and if you like them too share them, like them, tweet them, and even stumble them.
My favorite of my own posts this month is 100 Acts of Joy. It is my favorite because I learned about some holidays that I’d never heard of before and it is a challenge to myself and all of you to get into the holiday spirit by giving back.
The post that seemed to connect with joy chasers the most was Unhappy Holidays Chasing Joy with Green Eyes.  It turns out that I am not the only one and the holidays are a little difficult for many of us.
So what was your favorite post you wrote this month and what post(s) did you come across in November that you think represent the Best of the Blogosphere???
