WordPress Family Award

I am not really one for these blog awards, but this one is from someone special, whom I have only connected with quite recently but feel I know rather well, already. His blog is witty, funny, naughty, startling at times, never dull. Plus, he is Scottish and it resonates with the Scottish half of me, I guess! Anyway, thanks Shaun, so much.

Anyway, what I am supposed to do, apart from referring you to Shaun’s blog: http://prayingforoneday.wordpress.com is to share his heartfelt message with you:

This is an award for everyone who is part of the “Word Press Family.”  I started this award on the basis that the Word Press family has taken me in, and showed me love and a caring side only Word Press can. The way people take a second to be nice, to answer a question and not make things a competition amazes me here. I know I have been given many awards, but I wanted to leave my own legacy on here by creating my own award, as many have done before. This represents “Family” we never meet, but are there for us as family. It is my honour to start this award. Thank you, Shaun @http://prayingforoneday.wordpress.com/

And here are ten WordPress bloggers I would like to nominate as “almost family” – I have not met any of them, and maybe never will, but I tweet with some of them, too. They are scattered all over the world, they live amazing lives, and they are great people. (So don’t feel hurt, my friends who are bloggers, but this one is not for you):
