Good-morning Glynn -- ok -- so is that the view out your window? where's the snow? Where's winter? :)
ReplyDeleteBefore I commented, and thanked you for the mention, I clicked over to read Jeanne's piece, "The Presence of Greatness".
I'm so glad I did.
Thank you -- for the mention and for always championing bloggers from across the realm.
Hugs
I did the same thing -- immediately to that one ---
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful post....
Thanks.
And thanks for the others as well.
Thanks for posting these links I started following a few from my blog. There's really some great talent out there, I was unaware of. I'm very excited about the writing links. It not only inspired me to write poetry again, but also to remember some of the rules I learned long ago. Oy! Critiques. They are hard sometimes, but no reply is worse.
ReplyDeleteI'm tickled to be mentioned amongst such swell posts. I shared your flash mob suggestion too. My family is crazy for flash mobs. We should have a blogger flash mob...kidding but not.
ReplyDeleteHave a terrific weekend sir!
Glynn, you are always a dear and give a generous gift in sharing these good reads. I'm honored each time you include me here. But that intro! This morning I feel like you handed me a delicately scented rose, and I bow my head to breathe the sweetness, grateful for friendship and the tender grace of your tears.
ReplyDeleteHumbled. Thank you.
Jeanne
