Best, I know how to put into words the appreciation that I feel for you and what it has meant for you to be a part of my recovery program. You always seem to know when I need a smile or a laugh or just a pat on the back for doing good. You have given me loads of words of wisdom and things to think about along my path of life. You have shared in your own life experiences that have only inspired me to grow and comforted me that I am OK and not such a crazy person afterall.  You are the Best !!! My heart will always treasure you.

My thoughts when I had first seen this thread... Just like cmc is notice the little details and post such a thread. Thank you. As I read down the page and take in the words you all share.... Well I had to wait a bit and dry my eyes before I could start to type a post. 10,000 posts but over 20,000 members.... I think I am slacking *LOL* Why do I come back and post every chance I get? Each person that enters the doors of SR touches the lives of others. Every member here has helped me grow as they share and give of themself. This thread, the words and pictures you all have shared have brought me to tears of such joy because of the love you all share with me and with the other 20,000 plus members of SR. I have learned and I have grown from being here and if you see any goodness come from anything I post... such comes from two places. I try to give back what you all have helped me learn and the other source of any goodness you may see would come from the Lord's love that He places in me. Thank you all so much. My heart is filled with such joy at this very moment.

Best, this poem is very special to me and it came to mind as I thought of how far we have walked together, and I am grateful. You have held your light many times for me when I could not find my own, and your friendship is a treasure I will hold close. Keep Walking... Barbara Aldrich Here we stand together, Dressed in our pain, Covered with scars From wounds we did not ask for Or deserve. So what now? We can't go back and relive our lives. We can't take back the innocence we lost Or make the sadness we felt into happiness. But we can go on from here, So let us start. Stretch out your hand to mine, Close your eyes And slowly let the pain slip away. Let go of the sadness; It belongs to yesterday, And let's walk. The earth is firm beneath our feet. The sun is warm on our face. Heavenly Father sees our struggle, Smiles at our effort, And sends us strength. My friends, we can't stay, looking back, Lest we falter. We must face forward, Eyes wide open, And keep on walking. Hold tight and don't let go; You aren't walking alone, And neither am I.

Best... you have repeatedly modeled for me 'good behavior' - and made me laugh when you recognize the things in me I think are so well hidden... NOT! You are a treasure. Thank you for being here and being you. ((((Loving Hug))))

You have been so awesome to me so many times. So many times when your words just spoke to me in the way my heart needed to be spoke to. You are awesome and we are blessed to have you here among us!!!!

((Best)) Often times, I've read posts that sometimes upset me, and I probably would have responded in maybe an inappropriate way, that gut reaction thing can get me in trouble, but as I read others responses, I always found your calming. To the point, filled with compashion and understanding, solid responses that often made me think about what I was thinking. Even though you may not know it, your post kept me out of trouble, made me think before I "spoke", thank you. Congrats! B
