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

Hi everyone,

I love this thread. Geoff is spot on DB you are unfailingly kind. Thank you for your post on my thread today.

Geoff I notice your posts to others too... always have. You're a God send!

When Sara created this thread she wrote that it is also for sharing "pearls". I wanted to share this that Mary (White Rose) wrote to me...

I had a lesson from my psych yesterday when I was talking about a specific flashback that kept re-appearing.

She told me I needed to be self-compassionate. So I asked for more information and she said, "Where does it hurt, put your hand on that spot". (My chest) So I did.

"Close your eyes and feel the warmth of your hand, relax the shoulders and let yourself think about that warmth. Think about the incident and allow yourself to be comforted."

This was instead of trying to distract myself from thoughts which she said only made them harder to go away.

Thank you Grandy for reviving this positive thread (it was nice to log on in a low place and see your message to everyone).

Also, thank you for the TLC you constantly give to others. I hope the Easter bunny brings you one of the goodie baskets too.

Hello Grandy, can I also wish you the very best.

What life throws at us when we want to achieve the things we want to do, may not be a loss and could be a blessing in disguise, that's what we wish for.

Best wishes.

Geoff.
