Good Gawd, you mean Bodhi's not a vet yet?

Man those flowers smell good!! :) Thank you Iddy, from the bottom of my heart. I have felt more like my "real" self in these past 6 months than I have in a long, long, long time. Lurkers, Newbies and even Tweeners - do the hard work and stick to it. For those of you who don't know me, my A lasted 7.5 years. I had many endings before I found EAS. And EAS was the reason this last ending was just that - the.last.ending. EAS was what made the difference. Having everyone to lean on and be accountable to made the difference. Creating my arsenal of coping tools made the difference. It sounds so sappy, but I wouldn't be here in Super TweenerVille if it weren't for all of you. This place is even more amazing than TweenerVille!!! (insert The Jefferson's theme song here).

Love you :)

I remember the first time you posted, I was all cocky and thinking that you wouldn't make it more than a day or two.

I WAS WRONG!

I am glad I was. (It's always about me)

You have been a good member here, you have done some inovative things and you have great wisdom.

A "peace" offering:

We only miss what could have been. I know I don't miss what it really was.

Bohdi,

I hardly know where to start ... you have always held a special place in my heart, and I think you know why! YOU reminded me to ALWAYS believe in the possibilities ... YOU showed me what it meant to transcend something truly all encompassingly awful, and SHINE! I was so worried about you that first month, and then?! Well, then there was NO doubt that you were going to be a powerful force on this board. I wonder if all my worry about you, was really worry about me ... because if YOU could find a way to stick to NC and avoid his attempts at getting you back in after a 7.5 year affair, then I had no darn excuse for not being able to do the same. I really do think that was it ... SO YOU BOHDI, directly and indirectly set the bar for me, and really, for any other posters/lurkers that are ending an A. You simply can't argue with what you have been able to accomplish. Stories like you and Luvin share inspire me ... your ability to trust in this space, to be accountable, and to endlessly support us all, well, I am humbled by you that's for sure.

I also want to acknowledge that you are always one to come after me when I have been gone a little too long - to check in with me to see if I am okay, or to offer me some much need & unsolicited support! I know that you have been a life raft for Foggy, and a few others I am sure.

I am so grateful you are in my life,

TU.

Rather -

No need for a peace offering, but the image you attached was beautiful - thank you :smileyhappy: I keep up with you on your blog and I'm glad you have renewed strength and commitment. That's all it takes. I fell down more times that I care to admit before finding EAS. Thank you so much Rather. I'm glad you were wrong this time too :smileyhappy:

Thank you Alwayst2 :smileyhappy: I love seeing your posts and watching your growth. 2011 will be a year of change for you as you make decisions regarding your future. We'll all be here to continue our support.

PS - Audrey Hepburn is one of my favorite people and such a great role model of how to live a life full of giving and grace. I'm reminded of that every time you post.

Bodhi,

You know how much you mean to me because I try so hard to tell you every chance I get...but I can't pass up this chance to honor you here out in the EAS open and say how much you have encouraged and supported me and how truly amazing you really are.

I don't know what to say other than I feel the same way about you :) You continue to help me as I read your amazing words to other posters. Your strength and confidence comes right through the computer screen to me. I'm the one humbled if I've helped you in any way. I will always run after you when you disappear for too long. Even if it's just for a short acknowledgment that you are doing well :)

Thank YOU -

Bodhi
