Am I being naughty for accepting this Award and partially accepting others – yes I AM (guilty as charged).
Shall I be chastised because of it – I HOPE NOT.
Do I feel truly honoured for receiving it – Yes I DO!
Awarding the people who live in the moment,
The noble who write and capture the best in life,
The bold who reminded us what really mattered –
Savoring the experience of quality time.
This Award was bestowed upon me from Face at the window

Acceptance Speech
“Hello…hello”
“Is this microphone on”
S C R E E C H…F E E D B A C K
“Oops sorry it is”.
“Good evening ladies and gentlemen and members of the foreign press. I stand here before you with a really sore toe, humbled that Face has nominated me for the The Best Moment Award. At this juncture I am a little lost at what particular moment I have actually received this honour for. Is the time when I felt really sorry for myself when I was out of work and lost a girlfriend and moaned to the blogging world? Is it for the ode that I wrote about my dog that was put to sleep 6 years ago? Is it perhaps my Haiku or free verse?
It may be for my entries into so many challenge sites that I lost count of what I did for whom. Is it because I write of my Pop and mum and share with you all, the love I have for them? I could go on and on and I realise that you are all getting rather fidgety at this point and want to head to the after party bar for refreshments, so I shall wind up as the man in front is waving his arm madly in a circular motion at me.”
“I would like to sincerely thank Face or as I call her ‘Ace’ for thinking enough about me to put me in her list of other fine nominees. She is simply a gorgeous human being who I have grown to have an affinity with and for that I thank her for being who she is.
“I do hope you all check her site out and enjoy what she writes as much as I do”.
“My nominees are the following, drum roll please. What we don’t have drums? Ok without drums then..sheesh!”
“I am nominating 3 people whom I haven’t nominated before (I don’t think) is there a rule where you have to walk the plank if you forget who you have nominated previously?”
Forgive me but my link button is not wanting to play with my nominees – they keep going to a bank sites or amazon 😦
thesenseofajourney.com- because this lovely woman writes exquisitely and is helping me to become a better writer and you should pop over and have a read.
raisingthecurtain.net – because she is a fellow Australian who writes extremely informative, intelligent and down to earth posts.
unfetteredbs.com- because she writes as her name implies, she is both hilarious and extremely talented (especially with Haiku).
