Well, I had a lovely surprise today.... My amazing friend Wanda nominated me for a beautiful blogger award. Here is her explanation on her blog as to what it means!
"The rules are - state 7 random things about yourself and pass it on to other beautiful bloggers. I'll happily share 7 things about myself and I'll name a few beautiful blogs but I want no one to feel obliged to follow through. In other words....no pressure....feel free to smile, knowing you are a beautiful blogger and do nothing more. 'K?"
Thank you my dear friend.... So, here goes!
1/ I LOVE life! I truly adore celebrating everything, and if I can decorate for it, even better! :))
2/ I believe that laughter is the best medicine...
3/ I LOVE singing in the car! I behave myself immensely with sensitive little ears around, but when I am alone, there is no mercy!
4/ I find inspiration all around me. In songs, smiles, scenery etc... God is so good.
5/ My faith is a tremendous support and gift to me.
6/ While in China adopting our two youngest daughters, I was struck by beauty all around... One of my favorite, lasting impressions was the sheer beauty I saw in the faces there. Especially in the faces of the aged... The incredible beauty and story found in the lines on an eldery Chinese woman's face left such a stamp in my heart. It also made me thankful for the wrinkles that are beginning (or growing) on my own face!!!
7/ I am so thankful that I can be home with our girls. When found in a position where I feel I am pressed to give my job title, I jokingly say, "I am a Domestic Engineer". In reality I am a wife and mother who couldn't be more thankful for life. I feel so blessed...... xoxox
Thank you Wanda... you are incredible and definitely a very beautiful blogger!!!!
Helen, if you are reading this, I am passing this hat to you!!!!

I'll post my "seven" demain...off to bed now!!!
Helen
