It seems to be award day today! Jos of noDirectOn and the Baron of Brown Thoughts have both presented me with a new award called the “You Make Me Smile Award”. According to the awards creator, she “wanted to create something special for the top ten people who have inspired me through their blogging; the stories they tell and the lives that they lead with grace and dignity. I visit their blogs for inspiration and encouragement.” I think those are certainly great reasons to smile and I’m sure we all have our own reasons why others make us smile as well. I know I do. When I think of those that make me smile, there’s a few that immediately come to mind, so I would like to award it to those few. I know I’m supposed to award it to ten people. Sue me
- Tish - You make me smile more than anyone else. Yes I know - collective “awww” from the readers. Shaddup
- Mark and the Baron - I really can’t list one of you guys without the other. You guys seriously crack me up on almost daily basis. Baron, don’t feel obligated to give the award away again…lol.
- Danielle - Have you ever read this girl’s blog? She’s freakin’ funny.
- Adria - She’s such a nice person and every time she stops by any of my blogs she gives them stumble, which of course makes me smile
- Marzie - Award number two for Marzie today, but how you can give away a smile award and not give it to Marzie? It’s quite possible she was put on this earth to make everyone smile.
