Nice Matters
December 7, 2007 by Lillie
Diana Brandmeyer at Next in Dianaland honored me with the Nice Matters Award.
This award is for those bloggers who are nice people, good blog friends and those who inspire good feelings and inspiration. Also for those who are a positive influence on our blogging world.
Diana certainly deserves recognition for being nice, and I really appreciate the award. I have found that most bloggers ARE extremely nice and very helpful.
That makes it difficult to narrow down the list of nice people to recognize with the award. There are so many others I would like to include, but to keep the list short, I’m selecting bloggers who have consistently helped me over an extended period of time. Many other blog friends have been incredibly helpful, but our blogging friendship is newer.
Thank you to each of you (listed in alphabetical order by first name) for being my nice blogging friend.
Jeanne Dininni at A Writer’s Notes welcomes readers warmly in her blog and encourages her blogging friends in her comments on our blogs.
Joanna Young at Confident Writing creates community by encouraging comments and reaching out to other bloggers on her own blog and by making insightful comments on other blogs.
Laura Spencer at Writing Thoughts comments thoughtfully on other blogs and recognizes other bloggers that provide good value to readers.
Manchild at When Least Expected shares his Christian faith and his motivational writings with a diverse community.
Matt Keegan at The Article Writer, one of the first bloggers I met, networks generously, stumbling blogs with no expectation of reciprocation.
Mihaela Lica at Pamil Visions’ eWritings stands up for people and justice and generously shares her knowledge, talents, and giving spirit.
Misti Sandefur at Life of a Writer shares her writing expertise and her Christian faith on her inspiring blog.
Yvonne Russell at Grow Your Writing Business gives a lot of time and expertise to host the Weekend Writers Cafe, offering writers a great place to network and share experiences, knowledge, and resources.
Thank you, also, to each one of who read and comment on my blog, who generously share yourself in your own blogs, and who inspire and motivate others through your words.

How sweet, Lillie!
Thanks so much for bestowing this very special award on me! I consider it a great honor to be one of your chosen recipients!
Congratulations on receiving it yourself, as well! You certainly deserve it!
Blessings,
Jeanne
Thanks Lillie!
You have such interesting posts, though, that it is easy to leave a thoughtful comment.
Thank you so much for this kind mention, Lillie, and for the warm words, and for all the love you send my way.
I’m so glad you got the award, Lillie. You certainly deserve it. And thanks for awarding others. It’s such fun to learn about blogs I haven’t read yet!
Lillie, thanks so much for this award. I’m not sure I’m going to be able to play this forward because it would be so hard to limit my list from so many nice bloggers out there – but you would most definitely be on it, alongside many of the others that you have mentioned here. It feels good to be part of this community – something I would never have expected when I started – but one of the best, and nicest, features of blogging.
Joanna
It took me a little time to get through all the links you just posted, but thank you–I hadn’t heard of most of them and am now glad I did!
The blogging community seems to be a breath of fresh in our society today. A group of strangers that are actually nice to each other, it is refreshing to witness, keep up the good work, who knows maybe the rest of society will catch on.
Chris,
It would be nice if the rest of society caught on!
Lillie,
Congratulations, and thank you so very much for sharing the reward with me! I feel blessed having you as a friend and faithful reader of my blog.
As you can see I’m behind on my blog reading due to the blessings God has recently given me, but once I meet those fast-approaching deadlines, I’ll definitely “play it forward” on my blog as well. It’s going to be hard to list only a few, though.
But it’s like you said, if we list ‘em all, then the list… well, it might take up my entire blog…LOL…
Thanks for this wonderful award Lillie. I’m honored to be in such good company, and appreciate your kind words.
