Emily, from the Chronicles of Emily Cross, created a brand new award called The Silver Lining Award. Hot-off-the-presses, the blogs today will be among only the third round of recipients to receive this award. Isn't it beautiful?I'm supposed to nominate five other uplifting blogs that find a silver lining even on those gray days. I love that idea. And I love that it's a new award, so I don't have to worry much about whether people already have it or not. I'm just going to stick to the "silver lining" rule!
Today, I pass the blog love to:
Stephanie @ Hatshepsut: The Writing of a novel - Stephanie's blog can bring sunshine to the darkest of days. Her personality and wit never fail to make me smile. She is someone we all wish lived closer to us, so we could make her our best friend! ;-)
Courtney @ Southern Princess - This girl is fun, fun, fun! Not only do I love her blog posts, but I also love reading her comments to others. You rock, Princess!
Sara @ The Babbling Flow of a Fledgling Scribbler - Another of my stops when I'm seeking a dose of fairy dust to help me find my "happy thoughts". She recently updated the look of her blog, so if you haven't been by there recently, go take a peek. It looks great, Sara!
Kasie @ Kasie West - If you doubt the sunshine to be found here, go read her post from yesterday about elbows! OMG, hilarious! Besides, her dimpled smile alone is a silver lining on a gray day. :)
L.T. Host @ Quest Published - Her Mad Libs and Random Factoid posts are just the thing on those gray days! Check them out.
There are soooo many others I could name, but I guarantee you won't be disappointed by the silver lining to be found in the five above. If you don't already follow them, you must! You must, I say!

You rock my world, Shannon. :) Thanks. I'm out of town right now, so I'll have to post this after the holidays when I get back. You're awesome. And I can totally understand why someone gave this award to you to begin with.
Congrats on the award, good lady! And congrats to the folk you passed it on to!
This is one award that cranky me won't have to worry about receiving, but I'm glad there are positive people out there who can tip the blogospheric balance toward positivity. :)
Merry Christmas, and all that. Hope it's relaxing and rejuvenating for you!

Frankie - Thanks. There are so many good people out there, but these ladies rock!!
Kasie - Thanks, but you totally deserve it! I really did love your elbow post. I chuckle each time I think of it. ;-)
Simon - Oh, I don't know...you're sense of humor and sarcasm totally crack me up. Besides, if Shannon names her new Louis Vitton bag after you like I suggested, just think of all the smiles that will bring!! ha-ha
