We've recognized a trend where harsh words and feeling seem to get passed between the members of this community and its easy to forget that people can have different opinions then our own and still have us all get along as a united community. Therefore we'd like to try an activity with anyone interested to build some community unity and friendship.
It's called the One Thing Nice Activity. This activity has been done in different version and we're not sure how well it will work in a forum environment, but it will have a positive effect for sure.
Please participate, you'll find it is quite an experience.
Here's how it works. When you post here, write down everyone else that has posted so far and list their names in your post. Next to each person's name, write down one thing you like about that person. How they present their ideas, their choice of clothing, whatever you like about that person. When you think about it, there's always SOMETHING you could say nice about them. Return as often as you like to edit your post to include the new people who have posted after you.
We'll start off with each other and Susan.
Mia's
Marq - He knows all the right things to say to make me laugh
Marq's
Mia - She always seems to find the beautiful side of people and things and always shows me that side
Susan - Provided us a great place to meet new friends, discuss, and learn about other people's experiences
Nero - Always willing to offer words of encouragement to those who need it.
Alison - Her well thought out questions allowed us to restate in a more clear manner what its like to be us.
Marq and Mia
