Circle of Friends Award

Sandee of Comedy Plus has awarded me the Circle of Friends award:


Before I tell you about the award I want to tell you about Sandee. I "met" Sandee about 2 years ago. We know each other only in the blogosphere but I'm not ashamed to say she may indeed be one of my best friends. She writes a blog that is funny, intelligent, sympathetic, and so very clever. She's helped me out and solved problems for me without me having to ask twice. She visits my blog all the time and wishes me "hugs" and "love" and "happy weekends." She is open and accepting of my peculiarities. Sandee has added greatly to my life as I hope I have added to hers.

Here's what Phyl has said about this award:
I have lots of girls in my circle and decided that they all needed to know that someone cares about them and appreciate the difference they make in my life. If you are here it may be because I tagged you as one of the girls in my circle! If I didn’t tag you , no offense intended. Tag! You’re it! Consider yourself tagged.” I am going to say TAG to anyone who wants to play along! I consider the “Grateful Gals” a huge part of my circle so please play if you like. The reason these girls are a must read for me….. They are always encouraging, looking for the possibilities instead of pitfalls. Approaching Life with a sense of thoughtfulness and in some cases, humor. They are quick to offer a prayer, or ask for one. Sharing their lives on an almost daily basis is a huge source of joy for me. I hope you will take the time to read them.
I tag a bunch of wonderful women in my blogging life:

Thanks so much for this! Your post is a tribute to what miracles happen in the blogosphere. I remember starting out just a few years ago and using BlogExplosion and BlogMad to get a sense of things. So often I was just overwhelmed. I am fascinated by the weekly memes and how they bring people into meaningful contact that is friendly, engaging, and meaningful. You're awesome, Mary!

I'm very touched by this Mary. I have made some great friends through blogging but I have to say I have also met some most excellent guys out there (or here) in the blogosphere.

You are way too nice to me. And I love the graphic.

I'll post this in the next few days. I gotta do my message in a bottle before Mimi throws me in her dungeon.
