Thought of the Day… Today, give a stranger one of your smiles. It might be the only sunshine he sees all day. ~Quoted in P.S. I Love You, compiled by H. Jackson Brown, Jr.

I love making people smile and bringing cheer to people’s lives… I’ve been away a while and I’ve missed writing my blog, but I’ve missed reading others’ blogs. I have been trying to get caught up.

Tonight I was reading Nicole’s blog and got quite a surprise. She gave me a “Sweet Blog Award”.

This is the kind of “award” that brings recognition to others’ blogs. It’s “going around” right now, but who cares! What means the most to me is that Nicole thought of my blog and I appreciate that. Thanks, Nicole!

There’s a catch… it’s kind of like a chain letter… I am supposed to do the following which are supposed to be the guidelines to accept this award:

1. make a post about the award, mentioning the person who gave it to you (done)
2. put the award on your blog (done)
3. Give award to 10 sweet bloggers

So here are 10 (11) blogs I read regularly:
0. That’s Life (this is Nicole’s blog – I’m cheating by listing 11 blogs because I don’t want you to miss her blog)
1. www.ThePioneerWoman.com (OK, Ree’s not going to read this, but I just LOVE her blog and must list it)
2. Abigail Speaks
3. the Becky Blog
4. Our Country Home
5. Fire Wife Katie
6. A Single Girl in the City
7. Life of Meg
8. Bakerella (Again, she doesn’t read my blog and won’t know about this “award” but again I LOVE her blog)
9. Foodie with Family (doubt she’ll read this, but you have to check her site she has some great recipes)
10. The Best of My Nest

I hope you enjoy reading their blogs!

Make someone smile today… it’ll make you smile, too!
