I love encouraging people!  Don't you?  What's better than being around folks who are positive, supportive, loving, kind, caring, and happy to see you?  Those are the people I was around today.  In reality, they are the people I tend to be around most of the time.  I consider myself very blessed, indeed, to have the people around me that I do.

Whatever I tend to do, I am encouraged by others.  The things I tend to be responsible for, events and activities, are mostly attended by the uber encouraging kind.  The fact that we are heading to Italy has been met with some of the most loving, encouraging words I have ever heard! 

I am most appreciative of the people God has placed in my life.
