I thought I'd start a discussion where we can check in with members and use this space to keep in contact. It's a space to be able to say how you really feel and it's a space for the good, the bad and the ugly moments in our lives.

Evening all
I have been trying to catch up on some of the posts and after reading quite a few today I have decided to stop.
That is not because I don’t want to read any more but because I wanted to write to you all.
There are several things that I have read and more importantly noticed that span all threads on this forum.
I am going to call them the 3Cs:
Community - This is a real community (the condition of sharing or having certain attitudes and interests in common). We are all here to be connected – whether it be to one or two other members that we have developed a close bond with or to all members as a whole – and this connection allows us to be who we are and share part of ourselves with others.
Compassion -There is genuine compassion shown to each and every member whether they have been in the forum community for a long time or are very new. Whatever is happening for each and every one of us, at any time of the day or night, we know that there is always someone there to help us in our times of need, to share our struggles, to empathise or simply just someone who listens and who cares.
Courage – it takes immense courage and strength to share ones stories, experiences, beliefs etc. so openly and in depth. The courage shown by you all in your lives (now and in the past) is unmeasurable. Even through the darkest of times each and every one of you are an inspiration for having the courage to reach out, the courage to share, the courage help and the courage to make a difference…
Because that is how I see all of you here, in our community, on the forum
YOU ALL MAKE A DIFFERENCE
and I personally cannot thank each and every one of you enough for making a difference In MY life xxx
So this is not a NYE wish or a look back on the year that has passed,
this is simply
Thankyou xxx
