Hello everyone. I'm doing okay! I have bible study on this morning and I'm thinking of going to see my son this afternoon and staying the night. I'll see how I feel later. I was on last night but didn't want to interrupt the conversation. I'm not sure if I can jump in. Maybe I need to make a new discussion, like I am now. Blessings to you all!

Hello @heartathome
I know it can be daunting just jumping into conversations but you are welcome anywhere at anytime.
I hope your Bible study goes well today.

@heartathome hope your day is good.
The forums can be pretty organic sometimes. There is no rule about starting conversations. I am glad you started this thread.
I can’t seem to support posts either atm. It is a function that has had technical problems before, and been fixed, but obviously cropped up again. Others have mentioned it. I like supporting if I can as it is a kind of presence, where I engage even if I feel short on words.
There are no strict rules about tagging either, but some people do bulk tags more as a way of reaching out and including people. I am pretty sure it’s not meant to be exclusionary, ever. Knowing the personality, it would be more likely to be going over names they remember in the moment, or recent posters. I know I can get paranoid sometimes about being included and excluded, many people do. I try not to take things personally. I generally encourage people to join in on general discussions whether tagged or not. Mostly I just tag those already in the conversation, from the little drop down menu, but not to exclude anyone.
hey @REDLINEZ750 @RebelliousAngel @Snowie
🙏🌲☕️🌹

Thanks for your words @Appleblossom. I feel very welcomed! Yes. I would hate for someone to feel I ignored them, which, like you, is why I like to press that support button. I'm at my son's for a night. He's given me one night. He's very restless and agitated atm. It may be a side effect of new meditation. I always try and find things to be grateful for everyday. It helps me and I have a lot to be thankful for! How's your day been? 🙃

Hey @REDLINEZ750. I like to see if anyone is on in the morning. I usually just want to say hi and see that I'm not alone. I can't believe I'm a senior contributor. I've only been on for a few weeks. Maybe it's more about my age! 😂 Now that I know I can jump in, I will! 🙃
