1. Sunshine and blue skies.
2. Spending the day at the beach walking, exploring the rock pools or mucking around on my body board.
3. WRITING - that really makes me happy, and top that off with a short story acceptance and I am over the moon.
4. Cadbury dairy milk chocolate.... yummy!
5. Strolling through the botanical gardens, especially in Spring.
6. When my kids say, 'I love you Mum.'
7.When people acknowledge me by commenting on my blog and I see my 'following' is growing.
8. Reading
9. When somebody says, 'You inspire me.'
10.Building friendships with writers from all over the world. Their support and encouragement really does make me happy!
Now I would like to pass this Sunshine Award onto Suzanne, Angie, Joanne, Deb, Valerie, and Rae. Please spread the sunshine around and go visit these blogs and say hello. :-)
Keep writing....
Thank you Diane - hope you're enjoying a lovely sunny day!
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome Joanne, and yes thank you I am enjoying a lovely sunny day :-)
DeleteI love your answers and can relate to all of them except #9, I don't think anyone has ever said I inspire them. How lovely to hear that though.

ReplyDeleteYou are very sweet Angie. x
DeleteI am honoured that you included me in the award ceremony. However since I run an award-free blog I must decline your offer. It was something I decided to do some time back and to avoid hurting others I prefer not to retract the decision. I am, though, truly grateful that you thought about me.
ReplyDeleteNo worries Valerie. I am sure you will continue to spread the sunshine wherever you go. x
DeleteGreat answers - can relate to most of them. No kids myself, but I can see why 6 would make you happy.
