10 Things that Make me Happy

by

I received the Happy 101 Award from Blessed Mama. She shares great vegan recipes. So whenever you have a chance check her out.

First, let’s take a look at the definition of happy.

happy: 1: favored luck or fortune: fortunate 2: notably fitting, effective, or well adapted: felicitous 3 a: enjoying or characterized by well-being and contentment.

Merriam-Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary

Thank you Blessed Mama for considering me for the Happy 101 Award!

The award works like this: List 10 things that make you happy and pass this award to 10 other fellow bloggers who make you happy. *Make sure you share their links.

Before I begin, let me state, that I have more than 10 blogs that make my day, but for the sake of this award I will stick with 10.

  3. Hallo Evelyn,

    Well, just dropped in to say thanks for your comment on Famous Bloggers – it’s a nice happy post above and it definitely cheers me up to be able to say that 3 of the 10 blogs that you mention are already at Noaspa 2.0 …

    http://noaspa.blogspot.com/p/noaspa-20.html

    …and helping to spread the word about aspartame & sodium fluoride a little further.

    Well, of course, your site would be very welcome at Noaspa 2.0 too – and I hope to see it there one fine, happy day in the not-so-distant future!

    Ok, off to check some of the other happy sites right now, I’m sure that if you recommend them that they must be good …

    Very best wishes from Hamburg

    Will

    • Hey Will,
      Good to see you!

      You’re welcome! I’ll be glad to be at Noaspa 2.0. I appreciate the invite! 🙂

      Take care and have a great day!

      Evelyn

  4. Oh what a nice surprise, I had no idea I was included on this list. I’ve been taking a blogging visit/writing break.
    I really enjoy your ten things list, those are all things that make me happy too.

    Outside of your #1 thing, which happens to be mine too, my daughter is always making me smile! I have to say #9 is a close second. I love seeing natural sisters. People who’ve decided they aren’t going to accept what society thinks is beautiful and realized being chemical free is indeed beautiful and healthier too since chemicals can be absorbed more quickly into the body (through our skin) than by the foods we consume.a

    • Seeing natural heads walking around, really lifts my spirit. There is nothing more powerful and beautiful than a strong healthy head of natural hair. 🙂

      Thanks for sharing!

  5. Hi Evelyn,

    This is the first pass-it-on type thing I have seen for bloggers. What a really great concept. I like it. I think I will do it for the Living Legacy blog.

    Glad to read that you are happy and to learn a little bit more about you!

    Cheers,
    Tia

    • Hi Tia,
      Yes it is! I use to have an active blog on blogger and that’s where they do this the most. I don’t see it done too much on Word Press.
      That would be cool.

      Thanks for stopping by!

      Take care,
      Evelyn

  6. Thank you so much for including me 🙂

    It’s good to be able to list out the things that make you happy, that way you can try to experiene them more often! All that’s always a good thing.

  7. Awww, I smile first – because of you! You are MY sister, sistah!

    Thanks for including me, seriously.

  8. Evelyn, you are getting more and more recognition and you truly deserve everything that comes your way. Whenever you are doing what you are suppose to be doing, opportunities and confirmation comes in heaps. You are wonderful!

    I appreciate the mention and recognition, also. You are a very considerate being and I love that part of your personality.

    3. Seeing an elderly husband and wife holding hands. (gets me everytime!)

    BTW: Great new designs!!!!

    • Hey Ali, its good to see you! Thank you so much and the feeling is mutual! 😉

      Yeap, the elderly husband and wife holding hands is such a special thing!

  10. Evelyn, I was reading your post and getting ready to write a note of congrats to you for receiving the Happy 101 award when I noticed you had given the award to me (!)

    What a delightful surprise!

  11. What a sweet post to find in my Google Reader on a Monday morning. Thank you for sharing and spreading happiness, Evelyn!

  12. I like some of your 10 things that make you happy. My personal best is about elder husband walking with wife arms in arms. Even I know the feeling how it feels when you see one on the streets or park.
    Thanks for the all the reference list of blogs that you kept too.
