A Bouquet for Pearls - share your appreciation for other members

[Just Sara]

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...

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

I hope this takes off...

Spreading the love...Sara

Rosa canina...Croix, your sense of humour delights me ! Well thought.

I'm relieved to know this dogwoman can also sometimes make sense to her fellow humans.

Thank you.

A white rose for Mary for a good story about how sitting down on the floor in therapy revealed a more child-like, rather than healthy adult, aspect.

I had given that suggestion from a mindset of putting my needs above what I thought my psychologist wanted, so it was a nice reminder of the importance of our individual experiences and struggles!

You'll never walk alone...

Short and sweet but packs a punch. For Sara, a musical bouquet of lilies.

As I read through the new threads each day

I notice how often Croix has his say

His wisdom & caring

His guidance & sharing

Gently encourages along the way.

Well Star, Paul & Yellownanna~

You've made a walrus blush!

Croix (who's store of poetry is probably not suitable)

[Guest_322]

Yellownanna, I agree with you about Croix.

Croix, I like the humility, sensitivity and quiet intelligence that you bring to the forums.

Anyways, above all, I think you're a good listener (reader). Thanks for being you.

Dear Dottie and all~

All I can say is thank you. Not only does it make me feel pretty good but if people do say things like this then for a while I stop worrying I'm going down the wrong track - if that makes sense.

Criox -who thanks Sara for making this place.

Dottie, those words are from a 60's song and haven't lost their appeal. Love the musical lily's too! So thankyou, and I'm glad I could help.

Croix, as I've said many times; acknowledgement and validation works. The giver and receiver, as well as people reading, all reap the rewards.

So thankyou for your comments; I hope this thread runs forever!

A bouquet of blossoms from my snowball tree for White Rose (Mary) who gave me these eye opening words...

you are a worthwhile person

These words resonate in my head every day and they are going to be the motto for my journey. Mary, I cannot thank you enough.

And a blueberry bush for Sara (beautiful flowers and good for you) for this wonderful thread and all the good it does.
