I do agree Liz, I am making a concerted effort to do better at posts, comments and reply's. Everyone helping each other is what makes Susan's Place special!
Hugs and smiles, Jess
@JessicaMy dear Jess: Not to worry.... as I frequently do for you
and for other members that have threads that they don't keep updated as regularly as I think that they should
I am the self-appointed forums "badger" (not one of the honeybadgers) that is more than willing to politely and firmly needle, prod, and nudge my forums friends to keep their threads up to date.
(Many others members like @LizK @amberwaves @christinej78 @Chelsea @Jayne01 @sarah1972 @Sonja can personally testify to my self-appointed efforts)As you know, I am a firm believer in our personal threads being used
as our own journals that we can write out, express, and explore our successes, our failures, our happy moments and our not so happy moments.
When we have issues and circumstances going on in our lives than cause emotional highs or depressing lows it can be so helpful to explore our feelings in our journals... and as we do it gives us an opportunity to formulate positive solutions instead of stewing about our problems and stuck in the mode of being depressed about our situation.
When we share all of these things with our Forums friends we can receive uplifting, affirming and confidence building support, and helpful comments and suggestions from our like-minded followers and readers of our threads.
Of course all of us have much more personal issues that we don't feel comfortable posting about on the forums... for that I keep a pen and paper journal complete with doodling that I can work out and ponder issues in my mind before they become critical and debilitating. Writing things out can be very therapeutic.
All of this can be encouraging and helpful to others that read what is posted by us and by others. As has been mentioned, we all have our
regular followers but also we all have
many more readers (and lurkers) that stop by our threads... we will never know how many individuals are positively affected by our writings on our own threads and all around the forums on other various threads.
So,
Jess, it is good that
I didn't have to give you a 3rd warning about keeping your thread up to date....
it might have gotten interesting if I did......
Thank you for keeping us all up to date with your life endeavors.
Hugs and all of my well-wishes,
Danielle
