I've been honoured again!

Michele from "My Blessings from Above" awarded me with the "you make me smile award". Thank you Michele, it was a lovely surprise and one I am honoured to accept! I in turn am to pass this award on to 10 people who make me smile. I do have a lot more than 10 people that I can think of who inspire me and make me smile, but I'll just do the 10 other wise this post will go on forever! Before I do that, here is what this award is all about, for those of you, who like me, didn't know lol.

This is what the person who created this award says about it: "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 everyday for each person that I have had the pleasure of crossing paths in life with. I wanted to create something special for the top 10 people who have inspired me through their blogging; the stories they tell and the lives they lead with grace and dignity. I visit their blogs for inspiration and encouragement. Please grab your badge and wear it (with a smile!) proudly, and pass it on because you inspire and encourage me. Thank you."

I'd like to award these women because they really do inspire me, encourage me, and make me smile everyday. Thank you ladies, I think you're awesome!
