This is for you my dear friends, thanks for all your kind and generous support! I will be back on flickr on the 9th of August 2010. Have all a wonderful time ahead! Thank you all so much! My Graditude and warm wishes to you all my friends! :)

the qualities that I value most in friends are: honesty, willingness to take a chance and forgiveness. So if someone is not honest with me and continues to make their life up as they go along - making it better than it really is or not being truthful - is a waste of time. I appreciate brutal honesty about yourself. NOT about me. Tell me gentle white lies until I get the point. Secondly, I like daring people. People who are totally willing to drink coffee at midnight or say "what the heck, I'll go to the movie or that event." I like someone to take a chance. Like Abba says, "take a chance on me". Yes, I just dated myself there with that reference. And lastly, I really need a friend to be into forgiveness. But inevitably I will do something stupid and need to apologize and if they can't forgive then we probably won't be friends for long. I like friends to challenge me and vice-versa. It will require truth, and risk and if we make a mistake in anyone of those steps, a great "i'm sorry" and "you are forgiven".
