It is a reward for things we do for others. In the best cases we work for ourselves and others! Being appreciated for who we are is most wonderful and sometimes appreciation comes unexpected, like the "Happy 101 Award" I just received from Frances over at the darling blog Beautiful Interiors and 18th Century Style!
I feel appreciated and writing this blog becomes more then a personal fancy.
Thank you Frances! Your blog is so enchanting and filled with something more then beautiful interiors: Wisdom and a warm heart! It makes me so happy coming from you!

10 things that make me happy?
1) My family: the kids and my husband make me happy.
2) My friends old and new!
3) Sitting at a beach and listening to the sounds around me.
4) Travelling - everywhere to discover history, art, architecture, nature, people.
5) Playing piano and listening to classical music. No restrictions apart from 12
tone music...
6) Creating something beautiful every day - my interiors, my artwork,
my home, my family life.
7) A day filled with sunshine and warmth, inside and out.
8) Reading a great book in which I can immerse myself completely.
9) Writing: my blog, letters, my notebooks.
10) Having time to myself once in a while!
ImageThis list is compromised because there is so much more which I would like to squeeze into these 10 points, but I do not want to bore you! I realize many of those things I share with others. And this is also the beauty of it. There are so many similar things, we all appreciate and things that make all of us happy!
Being surrounded by you all is one of them!
10 new blogs for the "Happy 101 Award" will be selected tomorrow!

Visual Vamp is starting a blog lunch at "Coguette" in New Orleans - I think we should start a blog lunch and open it up to Rivertowns blogs - it is the connection to creative minds that makes me appreciate each day and then of course feeling totally filled with gratitude from souls around me.
ReplyDeleteLet's do it pot luck! I am happy to host before the renovation begins.
