So today among some other wonderful blogger friends, I'm posting something for a very special friend of mine. This boy is eleven years old and even though I have never seen his face, I believe he has one of the biggest smiles and tightest hugs in the world.This boy is called Lenny Lee. If you don't know Lenny Lee, I suggest you get cracking! You're missing out on the best
indoor sunshine anyone could possibly give.
So once you finish up here, click THIS and check him out, introduce yourself, or even just say hi. You'll see as soon as you get there how special this little guy is.
So in honor of Lenny today, I'd like to tell you all what else Lenny is to me. And even though indoor sunshine is one of the greatest lift-me-ups, there is a lot more that Lenny gives me too. So ...
THANK YOU Lenny for being a part of my life.
When I'm feeling down, your emails bring a smile to my face like no other. This smile runs so deep, and so strong sometimes I don't even know what to do with it. Do I walk around all day looking like a clown? Do I accost the supermarket checkout chicks with over-the-top chirpiness? Do I go and give my husband a massage when I hate giving massages? Do I go and bake a batch of cookies because I'm in such a good mood? (I never bake, btw, but you make me want to bake!)
YES!
I do do all these things because I'm PROUD to walk around with a ditsy smile on my face all day because it has come from a precious soul called Lenny. Lenny, you have given me so much and I'm sure you don't even know it. I'm actually very prone to depression, and you know what? YOU have pulled me out of it on numerous occasions without even knowing it. How cool is that????
Keep on smiling Lenny, and shine that indoor sunshine everywhere!!!!
MWAH!!!!!!!!! XOXOXOX

ReplyDeleteEdge of Your Seat Romance
Amazing how much affection we can feel for a kid whose face we've never seen! And you are right -- his comments and emails never fail to make me smile. I get them in the middle of a work day when I might be overwhelmed or swamped -- and I smile. I get them in the morning before my coffee when I'm feeling grumpy -- and I smile. (And maybe put my hands on my hips and wonder: What was Lenny doing up and blogging at 2 am????? But that's just the mother/teacher in me.)
ReplyDeleteI know exactly what you mean, that deep down smile! Wonderful!!
ReplyDeletep.s. I tried to click on your FB button and it didn't work?
Love it! I love wearing a ditsy smile on my face, thanks to Lenny :-)
ReplyDeleteHe really does create smiles deep down inside of us, doesn't he? This is a great post :)
ReplyDeleteBig hugs to Lenny Lee!
ReplyDeleteIndoor sunshine is the perfect way to describe Lenny :)
ReplyDeleteThis is wonderful what people are doing. I'm sorry I never got in on it.
