getting lazy

Nov 08, 2009 08:52AM - 1 comments

I have been reading the posts in here for several weeks now and have been suggesting it to all newbies.  Last night I realized that I was skipping over the newer posts from people becuase the titles seemed to say the same thing I had read before.  I neededt to remind myself that each persons story is unique and has something to offer me.  In the same way they are also the same, showing me that I am part of a huge community.  I am robbing myself of the valueable info in each and every persons opinion and experience.  In order for me to maintian my strength and will power I absolutely need this.  

So I am back to reading every new post and adding my voice to the mix.  Its all give and take in the end!

Thank you for every new story, struggle, and success story in this group.  Thank you to each and every one of you.  You are my heros and at this point in my life you are literally 'The wind beneath my wings'

Thanks so much for saying this!  Post headings definitely do not sum up a whole story... and just as there may be info to help our individual struggle, on the flip side there might also be an opportunity for us to provide help and support back.  

Also, older posts get lost down the list unless the person who originally wrote it is comfortable enough to keep updating it keeping it near the top of the list.  I try to go deeper into the list sometimes and bump up older posts that are asking for help, with the hope that the person didn't go away due to perceived lack of interest after a handful of responses. And the same with a helpful post that newer members can benefit from and would otherwise miss.

Almost wonder if it isn't worth posting this out in the main forum for all to see... hmmm

Thanks again!!  XOXO
