Perfect timing for an award!

It has been a couple of busy weeks at work and at home. I have felt very overwhelmed..not enough time to do all those things I enjoy, like blogging! I have not even kept up with the blogs I read every day! So finding a message from Susie at Digging in the Dirt that I had an award waiting on her blog was a very special treat.

"This is the special 'Proximidade Award'. This award is a fine one because it focuses not on the glory and fanfare of blogging, but in the PROXIMITY to one another through this on-line world. Blogs that receive this award are 'exceedingly charming', says it authors. This blog invests & believes in the proximity-nearness in space, time and relationships. 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. "

Susie, I can't thank you enough for the kind words on your blog and for bestowing me with such a thoughtful award. I have meet so many wonderful new friends through blogging. They have become such an important part of my life. I am suppose to pass this on to 8 people, but I am passing this on to each and everyone of you. I love your blogs, and I treasure your friendship.

Thank you Susie--your timing was perfect!
