Being nice does matter.

Alexis very kindly awarded me a Nice Matters Award -- so sweet of her to think of me this way. I don't think I even come close to being as nice as the other ladies she ranked me with, but I'll still graciously accept. Thank you, girlie! It must be your special day in Purple Valley-land . . . you're being linked all over tha place! ;c) If you stop by her place, please reach out and give her a hug. I think she needs a lot of 'em this week.

So, now it's my turn! I love reciprocating!

I award the following a Nice Matters Award, because you the represent the following to me:

"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 looked it up, and, according to the dictionary, "nice" means this:
[adjective] exhibiting courtesy and politeness; "a nice gesture"
Synonyms: courteous, gracious

For me, this deserves to go out to so many people. I am attracted to nice people . . . so just about everyone on my blogroll and sidebar deserve this award. But I can only pick 7 (or 8?), so here's my pick of the litter :c)

amanda @ oh,amanda
erin @ fully alive . . .
jen @ prayer warrior
melody @ slurping life
christy @ after a cup of coffee
louise @ living outloud . . .
mp @ my second journal
jen @ one mom's world

I also have to award this to the following because you are my "In Real Life" (IRL) Friends and I love you so much --- like I said, I'm attracted to nice people and you are some of the best niceties that ever landed on Earth! . . . Corie, Michelle, and Alexis

Thank you all, gracious friends, even those I didn't mention.
