So today I’m acknowledging the first one....
.. This one has a questionnaire attached. So, here goes....
1. Have you had the same friends since childhood?
No. I lived outside Australia for too long in the years prior to email and lost contact with most of them. When I came home I found that we didn’t seem to have much in common and so I didn’t put the effort required into re-kindling the friendships. That shortsightedness on my behalf saddens me now.
I do, however, have friends from my late teens and early twenties. And I have kept pretty much every friend that I made when I lived overseas.
2. What do you value most about your friends?
Honesty. Trust. Kindness. Acceptance. Laughter. Our differences.
3. Are your friends your sounding boards?
Not all of the time. I’m actually mostly pretty uncomfortable when it comes to talking about myself in the real world. I think that’s why I’ve taken to the blogging world so eagerly.
4. What is your favorite activity to share with your friends?
Fun stuff. That includes, but is not limited to, indoor games, outdoor activities, sharing meals, holidays, e-mails. I’m not good at talking on the telephone. Oh, and I’d rather eat live maggots than go shopping with a friend. (What a cheerful girl I am today!)
Now... I am supposed to award this to four friends, but I’m going to give it to every one of my readers who is doing NaBloPoMo. We need all the help we can get!!
I’m saving the other award for another NaBloPoMo struggle-day.
PS. She’s home. A bit wobbly, but so-far so-good. Thanks for all support and good wishes. I know they all help.
PPS. Thank you Lani for all the bloggy-love!
