Around March 4th, Alice I Was Born2Cree8 sent me the Proximidade award. I was most grateful and decided back then that I wouldn’t show it on my site or accept any more. Well my thoughts have changed on this. I had a light go off in my pea brain, no comments from the peanut gallery either, and just decided that if people take the time to award me something on their blog that I should be more grateful and thankful. Alice is always grateful and yesterday I read from Lisa, Barchester at Penthorpe about being thankful. So I’m going to start posting awards if and when I receive one. Not that I’m after them, as the purpose of this blog is to write and share with my family and friends. It takes time and thought to do a post and if someone else takes the time on me, I can at least return the favor. So I’ve changed my mind.
I got another award yesterday, from a new friend that I refer to as the Belgian Bombshell, Heaven is in Belgium Jientje. Mahalo big time for the award. It was very kind of you.
The rules:
1. Pass it on to five other Fabulous Bloggers in a post.
2. Include the person that gave you the award, and link it back to them.
3. List five of your Fabulous addictions in the post.
My choices for this one are:
1. Juliana Scabiosa Trenta
2. Lisa Barchester at Penthorpe
3. Alice I Was Born2Cree8
4. Dianne FORKS OFF THE MOMENT
5. Dawn Twisted Sister
Now I’m going to send out the Proximidade award, even though I sent it to eight already to:
1. My Belgian Bombshell – Jientje Heaven Is In Belgium
2. Cherie C’est Moi Trois
3. Akelamalu Everything And Nothing
The crowd roars and applauds in mass approval. 
The rules on this one:
Proximidade, created by Dawn at Twisted Sister and passed on to me by Alice, is described as follows. This blog invests and believes in proximity- nearness in space, time and relationships. Nominated bloggers are exceedingly charming, they aim to find and be friends. They are not interested in prizes for self-aggrandizement. Our hope is that when the ribbons of these prizes are cut, even more friendships are propagated. This blog award should be sent to another eight bloggers and they, in turn, should forward it to eight of their favorites. You should include the text for Proximidade in your blog announcement. And please note that all awards and tags are optional…Twisted Sister.
So there you have it. All my readers are great friends, or becoming great friends and I appreciate the time you all have spent on my blog as well as your own. Mahalo.
Hey, it’s just my opinion.
A Hui Ho
I felt like you did about the awards, but at the same time I was excited to receive one. I am glad that you’ve changed your mind about posting your awards. Awards are special.
I enjoy passing them on, but so many folks do not want them. The last award I received I did not tag anyone.
Special indeed. Thank you so much for stopping by
Tom — congrats on the award, and you passed it on to good choices! You have come a long way fast in our blogging world!
Thanks Quilly…but still have a lot to learn and have some great people to follow that are a true inspiration
Congrats Thom, yours is a truly deserving Blog.
Big favor, can you send me your email address, I got some pictures I want to share with you. You can click on my email at my blog on my profile page if you care too.
You’ve guessed it, some of the buses I’ve driven.
Cheers
Bill
Will do. As I said in another comment I have pictures and will send them to you also

I’m glad you like. It was such a pleasure to send it to you
A great post, Thom! Thanks so much for bringing it to my attention. I joyfully accept your award and will post it to my blog later today. For now, I must get ready to be off to my Spiritual Centre. Have a wonderful day, my friend.
You are most welcome and I hope you had a great day
You’re right Thom I did miss this – what am I like?
