You make me smile

you make me smile award large badge

This morning when I got up, the first thing I notice is an invitation by Ann from A Nice Place In The Sun, on my MyBlogLog profile page, to come over to her blog and pick up the "You Make Me Smile Award"...

Ann, mission accomplished: that invitation alone made me smile already! Your introduction of this award in your post is another couple of smiles worth! Congratulations first, on getting this award from Sandee. If anyone is capable of making people smile, it's you and Sandee - there's a 100% valid connection between you, her and this award. Then, it is making me smile again, when I see how you awarded the people that make you smile! It means that you really feel that we, your commenters, make you smile. And if there's one thing that should make people smile, it's when they manage to make other people smile. It's a circle thing, isn't it? You make me smile when you say I make you smile. Thanks for making me smile that way.

The idea behind this "You make me smile" Award (created by Bridget at "...And miles we go before we sleep..."): "The thing that I love most about blogging is that I learn so much about a person just by reading their blog. I have met many wonderful people with wonderful stories to tell and I am grateful every day for each person that I have the pleasure of crossing paths in life with. I 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."

So, repeating what I just said: If there's one thing that should make people smile, it's when they manage to make other people smile. It's a circle thing. So I am passing this award on to these ten people that make me smile (that's the rule, I can not give out more than ten - a pity, because there are so much more than 10 people that make me smile.. - but these ten go first!):

Ellen, Ann, Sandee, Mike, Brown,
Winston, Christy, Bucky, Maartje and Zubli


You make me smile!
