It’s one of my aims in life, to make people smile, and feel positive, happy in their lives.
Today, I woke up, and in my notifications was a particular entry that brought a smile, a HUGE one to my face! Carol, of Retired? No one Told Me! had nominated me for the Happiness Award/Tag. And she wrote something so sweet!
“Ritu from butismileanyway.wordpress.com never fails to make me smile.”
Now, that’s what I am all about, so to know I make you smile… my work is done!
Then a few short hours later, that beautifully loopy Luna blog-sis of mine, Erika, also nominated me! I feel blessed!
So, what to do with this tag…
Here are the rules
List
5. Things that make you happy.
5. Songs that make you happy.
5. Bloggers that make you happy. Let them know you nominate them and you are done.
5 Things that make me happy (Among other things!)
- My Family
- My Cat
- My Blogily
- My Job
- My Writing
5 Songs that Make Me Happy (There are soooo many, here is a selection!)
- James Brown – I feel Good
- Pharrell Williams – Happy
- Carl Douglas – Kung Fu Fighting
- The Jungle Book – The Bear Necessities
- Wham – Wake Me Up Before You Go Go!
5 Bloggers that make me happy – now my sis has already nominated me, so even though I would normally nominate her, I shall veer in a different direction!
- Geoffles – I cannot stress enough how wonderful Geoffles is! You have to pop over to his blog if you haven’t already! I tend to finish reading all his posts with a smile on my face!
- Huggable Hugh – Hugh is another positive and amazing writer, who also gives heartwarming hugs!
- Judy – My poetic blog sis who gave me the incentive to get going on my Poetry book!
- Rich – My dear blog brother who hasn’t been around as much recently, but will always make me smile with his poetic posts and wonderful music choices!
- Syl – Another Blog Soul Brother with some wonderful uplifting poetic words every day!

There’s at least one blogger who says I make him laugh loudly…probably once a week–and that makes me very happy, so I know exactly what you mean! Let’s smile and BE Happy!!!

You cannot give me a bigger compliment Ritu. If I can bring one smile out of the wardrobe then my day is brighter already. Wait. I received a book of proms in the post today. It’s all ready bright. yaaaaaaasaaay

Ritu, your post is lovely. It is hard choosing only five bloggers who make you happy but you did your tag proud. Have a great week and stay happy. Pharrell Williams is a smashing choice to.
