I've learned so many interesting things at your blog (Bloom Day for one). <BR/>Thanks for your compliments.

I think, my streak of bad luck has come to an end today.<BR/><BR/>Your award is the fruit of hard work - comprehensive research, creative choice of topics and photos, an exciting and interesting style, and concern and commitment for the topics you consider important -what more can one hope for? <BR/><BR/>But it's not the writing alone, you also listen to the voices of other blogs and let yourself immerse in their topics and problems!<BR/><BR/>Thank you for mentioning and awarding my modest blog.

My life is so rich with you in it and it's all mysterious yet natural the way our relationship developed. I just know that we will meet in person one day, my anak.Lydiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11135393270656573516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4039445774186145767.post-3568506609928380782008-10-30T03:38:00.000-07:002008-10-30T03:38:00.000-07:00dearest nanay,the value you've shown to our relati...dearest nanay,<BR/><BR/>the value you've shown to our relationship has been so overwhelming to me. it cracked the mirror that prevented me for a long time to venture into enriching relationships such as what we have. To each his/her own experience but in our desire to learn and enrich such experiences, they tend to become universal. And what a better world it would be if all have the same mindset: that each of us is working in our own limited spaces and consonantly within the comfort of the same universe.<BR/><BR/>thank you for everything nanay. your love has been etched in my heart and memory forever.deus ex machinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12734495209045535666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4039445774186145767.post-38360558954840106632008-10-30T03:36:00.000-07:002008-10-30T03:36:00.000-07:00Carlos,You are so very welcome, of course!

Since I discovered your blog I have determined that Barcelona is one of the truly beautiful cities of the world. You've opened my eyes and imagination to a place I knew nothing about, and I'm grateful. <BR/>Have fun checking out the other bloggers I named, especially the photographers: Wayfaring Wanderer and Project 365.Lydiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11135393270656573516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4039445774186145767.post-28860023014950494222008-10-30T02:41:00.000-07:002008-10-30T02:41:00.000-07:00Oh Lydia, I am truly sorry I missed this award and...Oh Lydia, I am truly sorry I missed this award and read your excerpts after 4 days. Tell you how I feel? Flattered! I like the way you chose different fragments, I like to see what you deemed relevant in my posts. You know, blogging sometimes is a lonesome task and most of the times you tend to think people tiptoe over your musings. You think no one will give it too much thought or importance. So reading myself quoted by you makes me look at myself in the act of writing. It is a curious experience. Now I have to check the rest of the awarded bloggers! On the other hand, I can feel when someone is really interested or not (or so I think). When I read your posts I notice I can feel the person behind it, your feelings and your intellect. Basically I like reading you. So it is great being recommended and awarded by you. I will try to pass it on in a suscint way given that I have to stick to my local topic. Thank you very much Lydia.Carlos Lorenzohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05393873418988633512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4039445774186145767.post-33509269154819207262008-10-28T23:39:00.000-07:002008-10-28T23:39:00.000-07:00Yoga for Cynics,Flagrantly ripping off poems...?

First of all you credited the latest blog sources, and secondly, that particular poem at this particular time should be passed all along the blogosphere for consideration. <BR/>Thanks for supporting both of my blogs! O, about Dylan....he probably doesn't have a stronger fan than Francessa. <BR/><BR/>Rachael (who, everyone reading this, is the author of "Project 365" blog),<BR/>Thanks for your compliments about my blog; that means so much. What's interesting is that I, too, am prone to revisit your earlier posts when I'm there to read fresh ones. I'm one of your biggest fans and it's great having you for a friend. <BR/>:)Lydiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11135393270656573516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4039445774186145767.post-77690867061437365232008-10-28T21:37:00.000-07:002008-10-28T21:37:00.000-07:00Well, didn't this just make my day!Congratulations...Well, didn't this just make my day!<BR/>Congratulations on receiving the award yourself, Lydia! You're definitely deserving of it. Your blog is so inspiring, both in writing style and content. I find that I come to catch up on one or two posts, and end up re-reading others from weeks past just because they're so fun to revisit. <BR/>To be entirely honest, in starting project 365, I never thought I would meet anyone new by way of blogging, let alone make such a great friend! I'm so glad that I did, though (:<BR/>Enjoy your week!rachaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11160598958895342969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4039445774186145767.post-32981350324627256732008-10-28T18:38:00.000-07:002008-10-28T18:38:00.000-07:00To think I was flagrantly ripping off poems from y...To think I was flagrantly ripping off poems from your blog today without even knowing there was an award waiting for me here--and you even include my misanthropic grousing (somewhere 'twixt earnest and joke) about people liking my blog and giving me awards.

I'll be over to see your blog in a bit. In the meantime, I hope you're doing ok with all you've got in your schedule right now. :)<BR/><BR/>Wayfaring Wanderer,<BR/>I loved those words of yours and it was difficult to place them here without one of your so beautiful photos. Your short essays, haikus, etc. are always so meaningful. And your photography is a gift to all who visit. :)<BR/><BR/>Sharry,<BR/>I'm really looking forward to our Focusing session, although I can't quite imagine what it'll be like! You were my first blogging friend, the first to compliment my blog. It meant so much to me, still does. :)<BR/><BR/>Distracted (Who, everyone reading this, is the author of "A Tidings of Magpies" blog),<BR/>See what you do even with the wording in a thank you message?
