An Award!

Sarah Mae over at A Warm Cup of Coffee gave me this award on Friday. I have to tell you that she truly reminds me of that warm and comforting feeling you get from a warm cup of coffee. We don’t always have the same point of view but I know when I visit her blog, I’ll come away with provoking thoughts and happy that I visited. :)

The fun part about this award is, it comes with a questionnaire. Here goes:
1. Do you have the same friends since childhood? I do! I have a group of girlfriends from high school. We are very close but I have also added many friends over the years that I consider family (yeah, I’m talking about you French Fatum).
2. What do you value most about your friends? That we are all different people, have different opinions but love each other to the ends of the earth.

3. Are your friends your sounding boards? My husband is my first sounding board really. Then it’s a tie between friends and my mom.

4. What is your favorite activity to share with your friends? Dinner out!

Now I get to pass this award along to four of my bloggy friends. Are you ready? Here’s to you!

    I think it is so amazing that you had the power to actually limit it to four. Because I am confident that I am in the top five. Right?

    I wish my mom could be my sounding board still. She has dementia now and isn’t really reachable anymore (she’s only 70). Cherish your time because it goes by fast.
