A Pat On The Back!

I know deep within that we aren't always going to get to witness the outcome when we've offered "good deeds," words of encouragement or moments of support to others.  Faith teaches us that we continue on "just because."

My blog is an effort to just spread a small amount of happiness, in a small space, in a short amount of "time." Reaching out to whoever happens to cross this path.  But ocassionally, it does feel good when someone turns back to you and says "thank you," or "good job!"

We all need to hear and feel those words from time-to-time.  I received a little award last night from a new blogging friend, and I must say, the name of the award says it all.  I'm glad Suzie believes I truly have something substantial to offer.

In receiving this Blog of Substance Award, I am to describe my blog's purpose and "philosophy" in 5 words:

a little ray of sunshine

And in that same spirit, I'm to share this award with 10 additional bloggers:
(in no particular order)

  1. Lessons From the Monk I Married
  2. Fake It Till You Make It
  3. The Joy of Birdwatching and Living A Simple Life
  4. Crimson Covered Farmlife
  5. I'd Rather Be Blogging
  6. Butts and Ashes
  7. Healing Morning
  8. Daily Coping Skills
  9. Random Recycling
  10. My Daily Spirit
I'd like to personally thank each of the above-mentioned writers for continuing to bring me  a bit of inspiration (and motivation!) each day - each of you write with conviction and faith.  Be sure to check them out!

Pay it forward - spread a smile!

  13. Pam,

    Congratulations on your award and thanks for including my blog in passing on the award. I feel like I've done a fair amount of online whining lately- so I'm glad to know that I can still be perceived as positive:)
