I am so touched when I receive awards. It’s getting to a point where I have lots of them stored up and haven’t really gotten around to properly accepting them and I feel so guilty. I have more to do, but I’ll start with this lovely one from the beautiful Lisa . Lisa is a fabulous blogger and a lovely person, and I can promise that you will love her blog as much as I do. She’s a kick ass person! Thanks Lisa π
This award was originated by Belinda at Idiotwriting and, as Lisa puts it “is intended for bloggers who spread light into others lives or are a positive influence.”
Isn’t that lovely? I’m all gooey here.
In accepting this award, I’m supposed to write a paragraph about how I’m spreading light or how I’m spreading positivity. This might be hard but I’ll give it a shot π
I suppose I’ve always looked to humour to alleviate any stress that I’ve experienced. I find that laughing or even smiling is an amazing way to de-stress.
When I set up this blog, it was my intention to bring a smile to my readers’ faces. I love when someone tells me that I’ve made them laugh or smile because to me, that’s the greatest compliment one can receive. Knowing that I can contribute even a glimmer of positivity to someone’s day feels amazing. I’m not the most intelligent or insightful person, but I don’t mind being the clown; if it makes other people happy, then I’m happy too π
So now I’m just going to copy the rules from Lisa’s blog:
1. You must write an acceptance post, making sure you link back to the blogger who awarded you and thank them. You may not lump this award in with a batch of other awards.
2. You must individually name and re-award to a minimum of 1 and a maximum of 9999999 bloggers. You must let them know either personally with a comment on their blog OR a pingback (Iβd suggest their about page)
3. You must link back to Belindaβs blog either to http://idiotwriting.wordpress.com/2014/03/13/i-love-charismatic-geeks/ OR http://idiotwriting.wordpress.com/about/ β make sure you check out her blog too! I havenβt read it before today and itβs now in my list of blogs I follow! π
4. You must write a short paragraph β Entitled either βHow Iβm Spreading Lightβ OR βHow Iβm A Positive Influenceβ
5. Display the βButterfly Light Awardβ badge on your blog
And now for my nominees:
I’m going to break the rules slightly here. Or massively, but whatever. You see, I have so many amazing friends on here that I would be listing them for the next ten years (okay, hour or two but that’s still a long time) so I’m asking you, yes YOU, to just go ahead and accept the award. There are so many of you who make me laugh and smile on a daily basis. I’m afraid that if I make a list, I’ll be excluding some people (and there’s the fact that some people might possibly consider it more of a chore than anything, though I love these things). So don’t be shy, take it π I said take it. TAAAKKKKE IT.
Okay, Janey out.
Damn….Why didn’t *I* think of that?????
Congrats, Janey! You definitely write to bring about a smile, and how did I just notice you are on twitter… Is this new, or are my drugs wearing off? π
Haha, I was partly being lazy and partly trying to be generous. I am on Twitter π I’ve been there a while, I just followed you, woo!
I haven’t been on it in a while, but it WOULD be a cool place to spit out those awkward random thoughts that are too short for a whole blog, LOL…and believe me, I have had a LOT of them, lately…
Definitely. The world deserves more of our hilarity π
Agreed. World peace through humor!
Dang it, I wish they need a “love” button! Fantastic post Janey! I love that you broke the rules and included everyone! That is just so awesome! {{hugs}}
I just want everyone to be happy haha! And thanks Lisa, it was a lovely award to receive π
Making everyone happy is a wonderful thing to do! π You’re very welcome! You are very deserving! π
I love the fact you include everyone. Just reminds me how loving, accepting and giving the whole community is π
Aw, that’s a lovely point π and please take the award if you want it π
I would love to x
Yay π
Congratulations, Janey! A well deserved award. You certainly put a smile on my face when I read your entries. I agree with the nominations. There are so many great blogs and it’s so hard to single anyone out without feeling like you left someone out. BTW, you have sooooo much blog bling now! π
Thank you so much Rob and please feel free to accept this if you want. You bring such happiness and positivity to us all π
I know, I think I’d better do a gallery instead, I look braggy haha!
Blog bling is good! π I have this award, but thank you anyway! Have a great day!!
Oh sorry Rob, I thought I checked but obviously am mistaken! Well, you certainly deserve it π
I am not above accepting the same award several times. lol
Haha, very true!
Love the way you set the award free π – I personally would have done similar actually π
I am just wondering how the little butterfly is losing his sparkle (used to be a giff) You can pop over to this post to fetch the giff if you wish? Or leave it as is if you choose. π

Thanks for sharing!
Thank you Belinda π
I have tried to change it but perhaps it’s because I’ve done this on my phone. When I get to a laptop I’ll make sure he sparkles!
Such a lovely award and so kind π
Ooooh – That is probably what it is then?
I am a bit un-educated regarding those tech things hey!
No worries (really!) from here – just seemed strange.
I believe thought hat some folk have trouble with doing links from their phones too?
I don’t even really know how to access wordpress from my phone
I use the wordpress app which is very easy to use. I would prefer to use my laptop but it’s been acting up so I have to use my phone π¦ at least I can keep up with it on the go though π
Sounds like an awesome thing to have. I don’t think my phone is very smart π
I actually loudly argue with my phone haha! “You had ONE job, phone!”
I do that with myself right π
Janey, well done! You so lovely..you’re blog always makes me smile! π
Aw that is so friggin sweet! *compose yourself Jane* Thanks π
OMG I forgot to tell you! The funniest thing happened at school…..we discussed our OTPs..and I was all “Yeah. Guys. Like mine is Jane and Jack.” NO ACTUAL JOKE HERE. LIKE. THIS HAPPENED. IT WAS SO AWKWARD!
OMG IT WAS SO FUNNNY MY FRIENDS WERE all o.O “HUH?”
XD
You mean, they don’t know who we are? IM SHOCKED!
Hahaha but really, I love this. Aw, thank you!!!
congrats and thanks. π
Go wild Cheryl! You are amazing π
I practically have sunshine coming out my arse, so I accept your cute award π
Really though, its bloggers like you who are truly representative of it.
Now, to draft a BS post about spreading light…
Haha, go for it π so glad people are accepting it. And thank you, that’s a really lovely compliment.
You certainely spread some light over this way π
Congratulations and standing ovations, Janey! π
And thank you!
Thank you, and please, accept it π
