Happier and MyTimeNow, I hope you both continue to check in and participate on whatever level you're comfortable with. I've enjoyed and learned from both of your postings. It's funny, I've found online and in life that people are interested in drama. We don't like being bored. I know even if there are threads that seem to be taking a negative turn I still read them, and they are often the ones that have a lot of replies. I'm not a negative person either, but it's like a train wreck-you can't look away.
I would guess that you won't find any of that in the gratitude section, so that may be a safer and more pleasant place to hang out.
