Love My Friends

Recently, Cynthia of “Oasis Writing Link (OWL)” graciously honoured me with the Love My Friends award. According to Cynthia, this award “is bestowed onto blogs that are exceedingly charming.” Really now....me, charming! Well, not being one to look a gift horse in the mouth.....I'll take it. Thank you very kindly Cynthia, this is really appreciated. I don't recall how I found my way to OWL, but when I did, I had the hardest time staying on the site. For some reason or another, it kept booting me off and shutting down. However, I remained patient and eventually things worked themselves out and I haven't had any trouble since. And I am happy I have stuck around. Now if you like to think, this is the place to visit. Cynthia does not blog on a daily basis and therefore puts a lot of time, effort, thought and variety into all of her posts. Thus, captivatingly pulling you in, compelling you to think outside your safe zone and at an emotional level we generally don't often visit without some kind of encouragement. Cynthia has a magical way of weaving a combination of poetry, music and film into all of her posts, creatively emphasizing her own personal thoughts, ideas and true life experiences. Needless to say, I encourage all who drop by here today to visit the Oasis Writing Link and introduce yourself to Cynthia. You will all be glad you did. Thanks again Cynthia! It's nice to be thought of as a friend!
First, I would like to acknowledge that not all of my Blog Friends accept or post awards on their sites. And to me that is fair. However, it does not prevent me from mentioning them as people whom I choose to call friend and whose Blogs I enjoy immensely and am sure some of you would like as well. I also know that they, in return, accept the gesture in the spirit in which it was given.
Now the instructions for this award were to; “Deliver this award to eight bloggers who must choose eight more and include this cleverly written text into the body of their award.”
These kind bloggers aim to find and be friends. They are not interested in self-aggrandizement. Our hope is that when the ribbons of these prizes are cut, even more friendships are propagated. Please give more attention to these writers, photographers poets, humourists and smart a**es. So, in no particular order, they are;

• Lori Ann of Lori Times Five
• James of Newtown Daily Photo
• Brenda of Bryantics
• Lori of My Life Interupted
• Audrey of Stage 3! Who me?
• Nancy of Life in the Second Half
• Tint of Tint's Meanderings
• Amel of Amel's Realm
  

And, like Cynthia, I am adding an additional 2 selections. Though they don't do awards, I do want to say that they are friendly Bloggers. The fact that they are both Canadian is just fluke.

• Ms Toast Burner of One slice at a time
• Hilary of The Smitten Image

Cheers to you all and Happy Blogging!
