A very nice way to start my day.....

It seems that my friend, Christa, has awarded me w/ a Nice Matters Award...I have seen this pretty little award making its way around several of the blogs I enjoy visiting......Christa and I have been internet friends for a long time now....and I just know if we lived closer, we would be good IRL friends too...If you get a chance, you visit her blog and say, "Hi!" .........Thank you so much Christa!!!

Okay, so according to the rules of the nice matters award:  This award is for those bloggers who are nice people; good blog friends and those who inspire good feelings and inspiration. Also for those who are a positive influence on our blogging world. Once you've been awarded please pass it on to 7 others who you feel are deserving of this award." 

I'm going to try and give this award to some ladies, who I don't think have received it already......I have been limiting my time on the computer, but these blogs are ones I be sure to catch up on, when I sit down at my computer for an extended visit.....

Lori is a homeschooling mom of 7...she is a very busy lady....always on the go, getting her family where they need to be.......we  have kids that are very close in age....Lori and I have been visiting each other's site, since I first began blogging.....

Michelle is another homeschooling mom....she has 8 blessings and is a wonderful photographer....I love visiting her blog and seeing her beautiful photos....

Ambra is a soon-to-be momma of 10....She also homeschools her children...Her blog is inspiring to me because of her honesty and her continual sharing of her walk w/ God. 

Lynda or 'Tea, as she is affectionately called has a wonderful way w/ words.....During some really difficult times, it was such a blessing for me to see a comment or two from her, that always helped me to feel better...I've always loved reading her thankful lists, they are inspiring to me.....I do see that she has already received this award, but I really do want to share mine w/ her, so I'm keeping her on the list, lol....

Susan also has 7 beautiful children.......and they also homeschool.....I really enjoy reading about their days....She really does seem to define "nice."

Kelly and I have exchanged many comments back and forth too......She was nice enough to mail us a wonderful book that we have used for bedtime reading many, many times........and everytime I read it, I can't help but think of her.......

Cheryl also has a wonderful Xanga site.......I haven't been reading her blog long, but I am sure to check hers often as it is such a wonderful place to visit.....She shares so much of her family and daily life.......

Well, there you have it......there are so many more nice blogs that I would like to list too.......I think the blogging communities, Xanga and non-Xanga alike, have so many wonderful bloggers who let others peek into their lives and share so many real moments that it's no wonder I have to be careful and limit how much time I spend reading about others' lives, so that I may enjoy my own life, else I'd have nothing to blog about anyways, lol......For this award, I did choose all Xanga blogs, but there are several non-Xanga blogs that I enjoy reading as often as I can.

Have a blessed day~
