Nice Matters

Mary, Mary Fairly Contrary and Sherry at Q’s Corner graciously offered me a “Nice Matters Award”. I wonder if they have they read my ranting, venting, and cursing when I’m hot under the collar!

Mary is a recently retired nurse in Liverpool, UK and has just started blogging in June. She loves gardening, quilting, and colorful fabrics. I’ve known her for a short while and have determined she is nice. If you visit her, you’ll see why. Thank you, Mary.

Sherry has become a very dear friend during the past few months. We have similar hearts and share being in touch with the beauty of nature. She is also an outstanding photographer of butterflies and birds. Visit her and look through her camera lens! Thank you, Sherry.

Now I am supposed to choose seven people on which to bestow the honor. Taking this award seriously, I walked around the yard last night and thought about who I would choose. It’s impossible for me to select only seven people because everyone I’ve been honored to know through blogging is more than nice. We all have some bad bones in our bodies but each of us has made a life-long choice to be nice because being nice really does matter. There are more than ten people I want to add to my blogroll whenever this damned heat lets up and I can relax. The list is getting so long that I’m overwhelmed and can’t make a decision.

So, last night, miraculously, in the dead center of my pond, I found what is perhaps my favorite photo of all. I’m offering it to you – friends who visit here regularly and those who visit but never let me know you are here – if you are reading this, it’s for you, nice people.

My heart. Thanks.
