It's Valentine's Day fellow lovers! It's time for us once again to celebrate the reality that love still exists -the universal love between couples, parent and child, sister and brother, two friends, one person and a total stranger, a person and a pet, etc., etc. From the biggest malls in the advanced cities the world over to the smallest booths in the poorest towns, we see innumerable gift ideas. They come in shapes as unusual gift, unique gift, personalized gift, gift for him, gift for her. Indeed Valentine's Day is a holiday of gifts!
I have unique gift for 10 of my blogger friends although without their knowing it, they have made my short stay in the internet a happy experience. So I'm giving them their blogging award, The Happy 101 Award. Grab it, my friends.
This was entrusted in my care by my sweet friend, Ms. Angelia Sims, Living, Loving, Laughing. Although she told me I don't have to do anything, I want to keep this tradition rolling so I 'm giving it away this Valentine's Day.
Here are the rules. If you are the lucky recipient, please perpetuate the award tradition as follows:
- List 10 things that make you happy.
- Try to do at list one thing on the list a day.
- List 10 bloggers who brighten you day.
- Those of you to whom I give this award are to link back to my blog, Senior Debutante, and perpetuate the Happy with your own list and recipients and whatnot.
