and other visitors to this thread,
I have endeavoured to recognise members in the tag list with whom I have had more recent and regular contact, also those with whom I have had occasional contact and members with whom there has been contact in other mutually supported threads. Thank you, to each person for those contacts that make the forum a pleasant, informative and supportive environment, in which to offer and receive mutual and reciprocal support, nurturing and comforting correspondence.
Thank you all for your contacts, tags and company in this and other threads.

@Daisydreamer , Thank you for your tag and inclusion in greetings today. We have had occasional contact on the forum, both in your management role and in general activity on various threads. I enjoy the interaction that we have. Thank you.

@Appleblossom , "The photo zi took (yesterday) .... Eucalyptus "Silver Princess" is pleasantly embraced in my mind. I took the quote from your post but when I did a search, could not find the photo again.

@Emelia8 , @Anastasia , @Appleblossom , @Mumi , @greenpea , @ArtistZ , @Clawde , @Meowmy , and more recently @1stepup61 , we have had some fun with virtual flying that has stimulated our recollections, associated memories and events, both more recent and others from earlier in our lives. I have really enjoyed that project and research, that has connected for me, information and refreshed memories of some pleasant events very early in my life. I really hope that those excursions into the sources of information and the good memories have been as stimulating and rewarding for you as it has been for me. It is a question that @1stepup61 asked, that started us on that more recent journey. Thank you @1stepup61 for the question and every one else for your participation and support.

@Faith-and-Hope often tags me to come and share thoughts, participate in a conversation, or enjoy something in which she thinks that I may be interested. Other members also engage with me in similar ways. I appreciate the invitations and inclusion in various conversations on the forum. Thank you to @Faith-and-Hope and other members also.

@Judi9877 and I have shared thoughts about some difficult issues in our lives, where we are able to express thoughts, concerns and suggestions about our respective situations, that appear to be similar in some respects. It is interesting that in discussing those issues, I develop a greater awareness and understanding of various aspects, situations, past and more recent events and my role(s) in my own life. It is certainly my hope that those conversations are also of interest and value to you @Judi9877

@Shaz51 is the 'mover and shaker' in keeping others and me informed and involved in a lot of the current activity in social and more specific threads. Thank you @Shaz51 for your regular contact, that keeps us connected with threads in which we may or may not engage in a lot of activity. @Shaz51 , to me, is like the friendly spider, maybe, as in “Charlotte's Web”, who is the connecting force between the different regions of the forum. I hope that you will be comfortable with the analogy @Shaz51 . Occasionally, when the going gets tough, we are in turn able to offer her some empathic and nurturing support.

@Mumi is a more recent member with whom others and I have had considerable interaction recently. Getting used to the methods and processes involved in activity on the forum has been challenging for @Mumi , as it was initially and sometimes still is for me. I am very pleased that @Mumi has continued to be an active member and who offers much in what she gives and shares with other members through her activity in the various threads. I am pleased that @Mumi continues to be a very active participant.

@Meowmy , to me seems to be a quiet member, possibly because I have not often had a lot of contact. I have been very pleased that @Meowmy has recently ventured into areas in which I am more active. I hope for and look forward to more interaction with @Meowmy in the future. I certainly have no wish to impose or give her the feeling that there is any pressure. As I have said to others, activity can involve passive viewing, without any other interaction, of posts in any areas of the forum, offering “Supports” as and where we feel comfortable, a position where I think @Meowmy is comfortable at the present time. Then, as we become more at ease with the members in the thread, we can engage, when we wish, in the conversation. Really lovely to see you among the threads where I am more active @Meowmy .

@Determined , @Smc and I have fairly irregular, but enjoyable contact when it occurs. Discussions have included building structural suggestions, motor bike riding and others. It's been a while, so I look forward to connecting again soon.

It's time for me to go and get a drink, after which I plan to go for a swim at the pool. Part of my plan to increase strength and improve mobility. While it is fairly cool today and the weather yesterday, her in Mid-West WA, was stormy with strong winds and rain, that may help because getting in to the water, I hope, won't be such a shock.
"
You are all very fresh in my mind.
Thank you to everyone for your engagement with me on the forum. I really appreciate the interactions that we have and the activity that we share. I can assure you that your interaction with me contributes significantly to helping me to maintain my mental and psychological stability, in addition to the resources with which I become familiar through the forum.

With My Very Best Wishes
