Friday morning brings

thoughts of Haiku to my mind ...

Year end reflections

remind me of two

awards I've received but not

yet acknowledged so

I begin this morn

writing about about Clara and

Akelamalu.

On December 27th Clara of Coming Back to Life wrote:

"Patricia at Subjective Soup has given me an award! Thank you, Patricia. I'm honored that you believe my blog meets the criteria.


Here are the rules for the Proximidade Award:
"This blog invests and believes in PROXIMITY--nearness in space, time, and relationships! These blogs are exceedingly charming. These kind bloggers aim to find and be friends. They are not interested in prizes or 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! Deliver this award to eight bloggers who will choose eight more and include this cleverly-written text into the body of their award."
I'm passing this award on to these wonderful bloggers."

1. Ciara of Diary of a Thick Chick
2. Leigh of Eternal Flux
3. Tammy of Crazy Mom 4 Boys
4. Mikki of Here's What Let's Do
5. Ida of Losing Myself
6. Storyteller of Small Reflections
7. Christie O. of Baby Tea Leaves
8. Danelle of Alberts Family

Then ...on December 29th Akelamalu of Everything and Nothing wrote this in Friends:

"Riverpoet (Poetic License) gave me the above award just before Christmas, she said:

Akelamalu over at Everything and Nothing for her continued comments even when I don't make it over to her place on a regular basis

Well I have to tell Riverpoet it's entirely my pleasure!

This is the thinking behind this particular award:

These blogs are exceedingly charming. 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. Deliver this award to eight bloggers who must choose eight more and include this cleverly-written text into the body of their award.

So, in the spirit in which it was given I hereby pass it on to the following, in no particular order, fellow bloggers who show the spirit of friendship as detailed above.

Marmie (Twaddle Everyday Rubbish)

Linda (Are We There Yet)

Cloudia (Comfort Spiral)

Flowerpot (Flowerpot Days)

Storyteller (Small Reflections)

Ron (Vent)

CG (The Compulsive Worrier)

Ciara (Ramblings & Whatnot)

If you don't already visit them do yourself a favour and drop in, you won't be sorry."

As you can see ... they've EACH selected this blog as one of their recipients and I wish to say THANK YOU to Clara & Akelamalu for sharing these lovely awards with me and I always appreciate the 'linky-luv' too!

Everyone who knows

me will no doubt recall I

do not follow rulez

very well at all ...

thus I offer both of these

awards to all who

visit and leave me

a comment and possibly

even more as they

check out earlier

posts I've shared previously

that might have been missed.
