Thank you to the people who have supported me, asked me questions which made me think, had fun with me when I wanted to play, who've given their care & kindness, their experience & understanding to me, to those who have forgiven me when I am too long-winded...there is so much I thank so many people here for, but most importantly, I thank those who provide these forums in the first instance .

May you all have a wonderful, & peaceful, Xmas, & wishing us all a brighter & better 2022.

Hi Paul and Everyone, Happy Christmas to all of you and to thank anyone isn't easy, whether it's the person next to you in the queue who offered some great advice, but don't see them again, or perhaps it's a friend's spouse/partner who mentioned a different way to tackle your problem, or a previous friend who was right next to you, but for some reason, you don't see anymore but their knowledge and experience has helped you through your problems, but these problems may never stop for us, we have to be vigilant and we change over time.

The number of comments made by many others comes and go, but all it takes is a couple of words they mention that stick with us and we are able to build on because they resonate with us, not with the person next to us, but to us personally, these are those we want to thank.

If we aren't listening to someone then perhaps a little criticism is in order, but it shouldn't be constant, once it's made the point has been raised, that's what friends are for, not to agree with everything, that makes them a 'yes man'.

There are lots of people to thank, disappointed in those who haven't, but life goes, but thank you to those many people who have and too many to mention.

Geoff.

So thanks to all those reading and writing and listening to others and offering support on the forums.

Thanks to all those in helping profession who go the extra mile.

Thanks to neighbours who reach out to lonely neighbours.

Thanks to everyone who listens.

Thanks to people who realise that every anniversary of a traumatic event is difficult.

Thanks to people who say they will be there for you and are.
Thanks to people who are struggling but find time to listen

Hey mmMekitty....thankyou soooo much for your great post..and your wonderful presents! Love your input ✔😃

Hey Geoff....Thankyou for taking the time to reply with your post 🙂 Just my humble opinion Geoff..some people will always retain their own self centered traits and continue to be poor listeners whilst devoting their time to their own immediate concerns without caring for others...Im not sure I understand where you are coming from..This is a positive thread topic

Hey Quirky....There are no names necessary lol so thankyou for your good vibrations and mentioning who you are thankful for!
