sharing the love

Today promises to be filled with JOY. My house is still clean from the weekend so that gives me extra time to play. I'm meeting a friend for lunch. I'm starting a new book. There is a nice cool breeze outside. I have almost four weeks of summer vacation left. Donna from Cottage Days & Journeys has gifted me with this lovely award. I am bursting with energy with a multitude of possibilities in how I can spend it. It's going to be another BEAUTIFUL day.



Thank you Donna for Sharing The Love! I visited Memoirs of a Mommy to see how this award originated and it is a touching story. I would encourage everyone to read it. It brings great joy to help others, but we never really know when we might be the ones needing a little generosity ourselves. This story speaks volumes about the grace that is found in the relationship between giving and receiving. I believe I am suppose to share this award and I always have such difficulty picking and choosing for these things and especially for this one because you have ALL shared your love with encouraging words and little hugs along the way. I would really like to share this loving little icon with every one of you who take the time to read my blog...so take it and then YOU go share the love! Oh and if you are looking for ideas or ways to reach out to others...visit Here or Here. Sharing The Love is a big idea, but I really think we can pull this off if we put all of our small ideas together and I would LOVE to hear what yours is or how others have helped you.

Make sure when you take this award you link it back to its creator at

I was tickled to pass the award on to you, and I knew that you would multiply it (like the loaves and fishes, LOL)! Wasn't that a wonderful story about the origin?! Had to pop a tissue when I read it and then quickly admonished myself for the self-pity that I have been wallowing in lately.

Hugs! :-)

That is going to a wonderfully deserving person. I have been blessed with it, but I have to figure out how to link everything and everybody, and I am just not there yet! You always have such sweet postings and I love having you on my list of blogs to read everyday. Blessings to you my friend.
