Hi I'm Kate, I am new to this posting thing but have spent a lot of time reading these forums and felt like I wanted to say how aweaome beyond blue is and the people on here offer so rhoughtful kind helpful advice. Its awesome!
I spent a lot of my time people watching and how people react to certain situations and it never ceases to amaze me how a simple hello or smile can change the whole situation. You can see the relief wash over nervous faces. In a crazy busy world we live in sometime we all forget the small important things. Like hello or pausing to ask how someone's day is going( and listen to the reply)
But as a scan the posts and replies here I see so much kindness and even though we all are fighting our own fight we stop to help others and I think that's worth mentioning.
So to all those that take time to reply to another you Rock!!

Hi Kate,
Welcome to the forum. I'm a newbie too. Still getting around to writing my own introduction. The title of your post caught my attention. I loved it. You are right a smile or something simple can make such a difference.
Take care.

Thanks so much guys for the positive feedback and welcome messages.
Move had a tough year, and have found being postive and telling people how much I appreciate them and being greatful for the wonderful people and things around me is really helping.
