A Bouquet for Pearls - share your appreciation for other members

Just Sara — Thu, 16 Mar 2017 03:30:03 GMT

Every now and then, members share a beautiful Pearl of Wisdom. How often do you think to yourself; "OMG that's great! I wish everyone could see this."

Presenting someone with a bunch of flowers is a generous way of acknowledging their insightful words.

I hope this thread stays active through members giving out praise regularly to people they feel deserving, and therefore keep generosity of spirit alive within the pages of BeyondBlue Forum.

My bunch of Red Roses (my choice) goes to Wishful for the following sentence;

'Personally, I see no reason to be praised in me, but I'm learning that seeing through the eyes of others can be more accurate!!'

I so hear you Wishful. Just beautiful...

Try to keep your leading comments short to focus on 'their' words.
Choose specific flowers (or a gift if you like) to present to them.
Sign off respectfully and sincerely.

I hope this takes off...

Spreading the love...Sara

"Pearler" of a thread. It will become an absolute treasure trove of wisdom and insight.

Where to start...so many...perhaps there are not enough flowers in a florist shop!

How about; Sara, my wish is for you to have someone to give you a Daisy a Day for:

"Getting to know you...or is that me?"

You deserve it x

Warmest regards, Lee!

Thankyou...sincerely. Validation is Gold...

dear Sarah, a very compassionate and thoughtful post, and even one rose signifies love and care and along with it, a cuddle will top it off. Geoff. x

Thankyou so much Geoff for the hug and single rose, your support means a lot to me.

So today, I'd like to acknowledge Geoff for his dedication and more than '7000' posts!! My gift to you is a pure white Magnolia Tree and a phrase;

'In the end, it's not the years in your life that count, it's the life in your years' - Abraham Lincoln

You're making them count!

Hi Just Sara

Magnificent thread idea

I'd like to issue blondeguy (Paul) a 4 leaf clover.

He's had a tough start to the year and could do with some luck. He has also gallantly stuck to his champion role during tough times.

For Automaton, no flowers but a musical note instead.

And it is very important to note that only you know what's best for you, and you need to fight for your own rights -- don't let anyone impose upon you anything you're not ready for or don't believe in your heart will help.

Automaton's words resonated deeply with me. We are all our own experts when it comes to self.

This is a witty pearler from Rob (Gruffud);

'Now that my gwelly (bed) is upstairs, does the extra distance I have to travel through the night as the earth spins on its axis equate to more time to sleep and per chance to dream?'

Sending you a bunch of purple and turquoise daisies Rob to brighten up your day, just as your question did for me. (Not sure they exist...but they should)

Hi Sara

What a great thread and thankyou Sara! (and TonyWK bless your heart)

I just wanted to say how much the new posters are appreciated on the forums (whether they have posted a thread or not is unimportant)

I spoke to Automaton recently and I mentioned that his (her) input is just as important as anyone else's on the forums...(including my own)...This goes for everybody as they have their own issues and beliefs which are valued

If we didnt have new(ish) posters I would no longer be required as a volunteer and the forums wouldnt exist.

my kindest

Paul

Hey Paul;

You're my post of the day!

Thankyou for your lovely contribution to this worthy thread. I've been trying to think of a gift, and have come up with a ticket for a helicopter flight. Ha...just joking. How about a bunch of white roses?

Sara...keep up the good work!

Hi,

I'd like to join in. Yes we should have a tag function for this thread so others know we have acknowledged them. I have a few that I'd like to send thx to but today I choose Kanga who is always cheery and making us laugh in the cafe. King of the cafe I say. I've seen him posting on other threads and he has kept the he cafe going the last few weeks.

im sending him some new dancing shoes. I always think of the fun we had in the cafe nye.

havn't seen him for a while, hope he receives these positive vibes and is doing ok.

Kudos to you, Sara for your staunch involvement in demanding threads, regardless of the fact they trigger a lot of personal distress.

You're a legend.

Here's a bunch of mixed bush flowers from my wilderness.

Dear Sara and all~

I'd like to mention this line Mrs Dools wrote today:

This morning I had a choice, to wallow in my misery or to do something about it. Thankfully today I have been able to do something about it and feel so much better.

This is something special. To not only have the resolve - but also the ability - gladdens the heart.

I'll offer a bunch of dandelions, true - a common plant - but they are beautiful in flower and at the moment their heads are puff-balls, ready to spread their message far and wide.

Hello, I just read this little one from Sara. I don't know where the quote comes from eeither but it's awesome.

The old saying; "Feel the fear and do it anyway"

Thanks for that post 🙂 and I remember I posted something once which was quite a trigger for you, but you replied to me anyway with a lovely thoughtful post. So I absolutely agree with star. You're a legend 🙂
