lemonade stand...

I've just come back from church where we're currently studying the Book of Galatians...a truly amazing and beautiful portion of the Bible. We took some time out of our service to pray and be silent for the people, the aid workers, the churches and the Gospel in Haiti. We've made our way our home in the unexpectedly brisk Sunday morning air and are about to indulge in an afternoon of NFL playoffs (perhaps a bit more indulgent for Steve than for myself...but nonetheless...GO SAN DIEGO!), some afternoon reading, perhaps a nap interspersed here and there and all the other glorious things that I love about Sundays!

The upcoming week is going to be a very busy one but for right now...it's still Sunday!

I wanted to hop on the computer briefly before having lunch and after our delightful "date with Jesus" this morning, our spontaneous trip to Chapters (Elizabeth Gilbert's new book is out...so exciting!) and my delicious Starbucks in hand...I really didn't think that today could get much better! But low and behold...

I went online this morning to discover that my tiny little corner of cyberspace has been bestowed with the Lemonade Stand Award by my ever so brilliant writer and blogger friend, The Nerdy Nomad!


I was quite humbled to discover that the Lemonade Stand is awarded to bloggers who show great attitude and gratitude, and there just a few rules for accepting this wonderful award:

• Put the Lemonade logo on your blog or within your post.

• Nominate atleast 10 other blogs with great attitude or gratitude.

• Link the nominees within your post.

• Let the nominees know they have received this award by commenting on their blog.

• Share the love and link to the person from whom you received this award.

So, now that I've been awarded, it's time to pass the torch to ten of my favourite bloggers!

• 1001 Days In the Life
• Chez Nadia
• The Patron Saint of Perpetual Dynamite
• Life's Little Wonders
• Upon A Smile
• Mom To The 6th
• Quiet Laughter
• Me and Mr. Hodgkins (OUTSTANDING blog!)
• Inside Jamie
• Sammy Oxendahl Photography

So here's to you, great bloggers, who - for a variety of reasons - keep me thinking, and laughing, and smiling and of course, grateful!

Enjoy!
