  1. Hi Heather,
    Ruth was smart to give the Happy 101 Award to you, it is by far, one of my favorites too. So much thought goes into your pieces and I enjoy reading them.

    I want to thank you for chosing me to receive the same award. However, as I did in my Nov. 30th blog, "Looking Back," I have decided once again not to particpatae in award receiving and giving. The way I look at it, we all deserve a pat on the shoulder. Thank you very much though for thinking of me.
