to receive, but I especially appreciate this one, because what is blogging but a circle of friends. We share various aspects of our life with one another, both the mundane and the extraordinary. We make one another laugh, we share our challenges and our sorrows, we comment on each others thoughts and offer advice and criticism. We share pictures of children, grandchildren and pets. We admire one another's artistic endeavors and craft projects. In doing these things we become friends. A lot has been written about friendship, but some have said things that I think that are especially fitting for friendships made through blogging.
A friend is someone who listens attentively when you say nothing.

You can't stay in your corner of the woods waiting for friends to come to you. You have to
go to them sometimes.
Winnie the Pooh
Good friends are like angels-you don't have to see them to
know they are there.

Tis the privilege of friendship to talk nonsense and have
our nonsense respected.
Charles Lamb
Every good friend was once a stranger.

Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another
"What! You too? I thought I was the only one.

I am to pass the award along to five bloggers. That is the hard part since there are many I would like to pass it to. When I think of a blog friend the first person that always comes to my mind is Betty at A Glimpse Into Midlife. She is the best there is in a friend, blog or otherwise. So I will pass the award to her today and to four others in the near future.
Thank you to Donna B and to all the other bloggers who have been a friend to me.
