When you’re sick and there’s pretty much nothing left to do but vegetate while waiting for your fever to go away, there’s plenty of time to reflect upon life and relationships. In the short course of my blogging existence, I’ve rekindled old friendships, discovered new ones, and found acceptance in the most unexpected places. I feel blessed.

Thank you to all those who make blogging something to look forward to everyday. Thank you to friends, old and new, for listening, sharing, and supporting.  

I extend, with heartfelt sincerity, my gratitude to FXSMom (GR8 Blogger Friend Award) and Teacher Julie (Crazy To Be My Friend And Treasure Awards) for the gifts that they have bestowed on me. I have been meaning to put up a Wall Of Friendship for a while now, and I think this is the perfect time to unveil it.

Before I huddle back to bed, I present you, my friends, this gift from my heart to yours.

To MegaMom, FXSMom, Cris, Teacher Julie, Leirs, Babs, Maddy, Connie, Angie, KTS, and Susan-

and new friends Mari, Casdok, Toni, Hello Kitty Junkie, and Batjay-

(whose blogs make up my daily “visit-your-neighbors” list and who have been kind enough to respond, reply, and extend their hand in friendship)

your friendship is deeply appreciated and you have mine forever.

Just got the good news in FSXMom’s blog: surgery went well and she’s back home resting.

To you, Beth, a get-well haiku to show you that you were missed in your short absence.

Without pics and post
Your absence felt so keenly
Get well soon, my friend
