A Bouquet for Pearls - share your appreciation for other members

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

I would love to present CMF with every red rose in the shop. For being a great support for myself during my latest melt down. Thanks for being there.

Hey Peter;

CMF (Comfy as I like to call her) is a wonderful presence on this forum, so it's no surprise to see her name in lights. I'm sorry you've been thru the mill Kanga; we all know how painful that can be.

Your tribute's a grand gesture and indicative of how members encourage and support each other in times of need. Giving feedback as you have, lets Comfy know she's appreciated. Good on you!

I'm sending out squeezing hugs to warm your cockles and lift your spirits.

To CMF...you go girl! You're an amazing and genuinely caring person we all adore. Your sense of humour is one of your many beautiful qualities along with the kindness you've obviously showed Kanga. Well done!

Warm Winter hugs to all...

Kanga, That is so beautiful. Thank you, I'm lost for words.

Sara, thank you, your words are lovely. I'm still lost for words.

Yeah I have no words, gosh. Well I am a little teary now. I'm going to make a cuppa and have a little cry, a good cry, tears of happiness. I can feel my heart beating, it is full of love for you guys and everyone here. Yeah, I'm stuck for words.

Hi,

I wasn't going to post today so this will be my one and only post of the day. But I just had a quick squiz and stumbled upon one of Taurus' posts.

To be fair, I have stumbled upon many of Taurus' posts over time. I think we have to hand it to her especially considering everything she is currently going through, she still puts in the time and thought to write such empathic and detailed responses. It must be very draining at times...

So here's a toast to Taurus for her empathy and commitment. I am currently negotiating a dramatic, OTT floral gazebo with the landscapers and builders for you 🙂

Sidenote: I hope your find some Taurus Time (T-Time) because we don't want one of our bright stars to burnout 😉

Thanks for being you,

Pepper xoxo

Oh Pepper .......... ! Gosh I feel so very privileged and honoured. Thankyou ever so much for your kind words and nomination for a 'bouquet'.

That OTT floral gazebo will work perfectly in my back yard and I have 'just the spot' picked out for it. Cant wait! (-:

Oh dear, please pardon me while I go away and have a little cry - extremely touched by your post. xx

Hi Taurus,

I'm moved by your response. I'm glad it helped to lift your spirit a little- tears and all- as you so deserve the thanks and recognition 🙂

The OTT floral gazebo construction work will start asap in your chosen location...whatever flowers you like will bloom all over the gazebo...around it and some climbing flowers as well...

Kind thoughts,

Pepper xoxo

I want to send a knightly bouquet of flowers to White Knight, who helped me last knight even though he has had a difficult week himself.

It was much appreciated as are all Tony's posts, full of compassion and wisdom and honesty.

Thanks again White Knight

Thankyou Quirky.

We all have different abilities. I seem to have the ability to still help even through my dark times but not everyone has that capability.

Im realising of late just how great the community us here. Money cant buy that.
