We are each wealthy beyond measure--
because we have walked upon this magnificent earth,
because we have loved and been loved,
because we have cared enough to cry,
played enough to laugh,
and lived enough to learn,
because right now,
we are still alive to read these words.
In this season of thankfulness,
know how blessed you are.
And may that knowing bring you peace.

I'm thankful for YOU CL....
I know I'm just a lurker, and you don't know me, but I was just thinking about how much you give to this board. You're like my calm, quiet, peaceful place to come when the world seems anything but.
I check in at some point every week, especially when things are frazzled at work and the line outside my office is long and people are snarking at each other and at me. It's because you and the posters here are so kind to each other and only want to help others.
I don't often post due to time constraints and because I don't feel qualified, but I just wanted to say thank you.
Thank you for giving to the posters, but also to the lurkers, because whether you know it or not, I think the posters are just the tip of the iceburg and there are a lot of lurkers out there who come for whatever reason.
Thank you for being the place I can come and see that there still is kindness and caring in the world for complete strangers. You are an amazing person. I don't know how you do it, but I hope that I can in some way, model the caring you show here to others in my life.
Thanks CL!
I absolutely agree that there are more lurkers helped that we ever know. Looking at the number of views a post gets proves you that lurkers are a big part of the board membership. Whether they post or not, they're still a part of the board.
Pamanani, you've posted replies quite a few times and each reply you've given has been very good, very intelligent, right on the money. I hope you find the time to reply more often because you're very good.
Thanks again for your kind words, it means a lot to me.
