" VIVI AWARD " Poetry and Fiction

Hi everyone! I`d like to take a minute to thank the Vivi committee for all their hard work and perseverance in putting on a wonderful celebration. Such a crowd last night!

Thanks also to everyone who took the time to nominate and vote in the contest.

I`m proud to share the Poetry/Fiction Award with Mavarin, and equally proud to share this Award with the other nominees in this catagory.

Congratulations to everyone who has the courage to share their life and experience with us by writing an AOL Journal.

Especially, my humblest thanks to my readers. Your comments validate my work and are more important to me than any award. Hugs.

V

Awe V.  You are such a gracious journal host.  Love coming over here just to know you are here and well.  Agree that everyone is to be thanked and appreciated.  Kudos to Patrick and others who gave it there all.  A very clear and logical presentation throughout.  I was glad to see so many categories this year as it implied a vast amount of interests and abilities of current journalists.  Take this one to the bank of warm and fuzzy feelings - even as a fringe member of J-land society.  And, especially, congrats to you.  Been a long couple of years from where you were limited in your expressions to now where you convey the essences of your kind and loving soul.  Congrats for being one of the [TOP PEOPLE!!] xoxoxox Mi
