I agree with this completely because I am so grateful for you, my web-friends! (Please click to enlarge.
As 2013 draws to a close, I want to express my gratitude to this wonderful wordpress community that I became a part of almost a year and a half ago.
Blogging is such a blast! I have formed important and meaningful friendships with intelligent, creative and interesting people from all over the world! People like you! Now when I travel, I have blogger friends in every country I visit. How cool is this?
I love to read and look at your blogs! They are the bulk of what I read these days and I am a prolific reader. Your blogs move me, crack me up, inform me, sometmes make me cry, and always impress me with your talent and creativity. Books have paled for me now that I am reading such fresh, different, and creative blogs, on a daily basis. Thank you for your posts, I so enjoy reading them.
I am grateful for all the awards you have honored me with. I deeply appreciate the thoughtfulness behind each one. I don’t pass them on because I cannot pick “favorite” blogs from all the blogs I follow. Please know that if I follow you, I think your blog is worthy of every award, and I hereby pass them all on to you, Blog of the Year, and every other one, on down the line. You are awarded each one.
I am so grateful for the encouragment, support and friendship I receive from so many wonderful bloggers. I would never have continued blogging, if it weren’t for the incredible supportive community I have become a part of here at wordpress. You rock!
I have gotten more serious about my photography hobby because of your steady encouragement. I even entered The Nature Conservancy’s, 2014 Calendar contest because a blogger suggested I should, and I made it to the final round which shocked the beejeezus out of me! I owe this to the encouragement I have received from you!
Thank you for a rocking 2013!
I greatly look forward to 2014!
May health, happiness and good cheer be yours this holiday and in the coming year.
Cheers to you and thank you!
I love that song. Taught it to my school kids and my grandchildren. 🙂 Your photos are spectacular as always. So glad we met up on WP. 🙂
Some day, I suspect, we will bump into each other somewhere in distant paradise!! Until then, cheers to you my friend!
Stranger things have happened, Cindy. 🙂

more awesome photos Cindy…congrats on making it to the final round of the photo contest! Don’t understand why you didn’t win!!! All the best to you and yours through out the holiday season and in 2014!
I understand, the others were probably professional nature photographers, or if amateurs, they had a lot more experience. I am a retired shrink and a photographic newbie! I was stoked to make it to the final round! Happy Holidays to you and yours Heather and keep on clicking~

Cindy i will be looking at the posts that comment on your post.
Because they have good taste.and thank you for including me as a friend.
I may forget names but faces and places I really forget.
Because I am a visual person always looking at pictures and photoe.
Your photoes are a pleasure to my eyes.
One of the reasons I anticipate going back to Australia so much is to meet you two wonderful people! Thank you Jack~
You and Pauline I beleive would be an invincible team.
I will leave the arrangements to you and Pauline. Let her know your plans as I just go with the flow.Seasons greatings from Jack and Pauline.
Deal! We are looking at traveling from Auz through the lesser seen parts of the South Pacific returning either to Auz or NZ. Once we know, Pauline will be the first to know. Would love to meet you two~
Cindy, your blog is more than just a blog but a portal. I leave your blog feeling like a traveler (without the jet lag and the packing). Always something joyful, if not educational, that makes a pleasant trip. Thank you always for sharing your wonderful talent! Best wishes in the new year!
This is such an eloquently written and lovely comment that makes me feel so honored! Thank you my wonderful friend! I am so pleased to know you & cheers to you and I am so glad you come with me on my adventures. You are great to travel with!
