Quote From: psychwife2So sorry that I haven't responded to you since the board has been back up. To be honest, with the new format, I have "lost" some of the posts if I don't check in every hour...they seem to back up and get out of order and it seems like we have to read all through every post just to find new ones. I wish the "new messages" button applied to new messages since we last checked in and not just for the newest ones that were posted...anyway, I'll quit complaining and get to my post to you. LOL!
I agree that this board is a great way to get support and offer it to others and even though I am relatively new here, I feel that hearing from the same folks each day feels like real friendship...maybe not like the ones we are accustomed to when we have human contact, but friendship none the less. And friendship is always enhanced when people share a common bond like we do.
Yes, some people do seem to be stuck in a rut and I try to continue to post positive things to them, but then it can get frustrating when they don't seem to be doing any better. We have to realize that we can only do so much with our words.
However, just reading through everyone else's posts gives me encouragement...it helps me to see where I've been, how I got where I am today and serves as a reminder that I can never quit working to stay there. I get a lot of everyone here and I especially like touching base with the same people day to day. That's why I especially feel bad that I hadn't seen that you were back posting. It gives me a sense of community when I hear from you all...that you really care whether I'm here or not and I want to be able to do the same for all of you.
Labelfree, I will make sure that I respond more quickly in the future...I think once we all get back on board and begin with daily posts that we will have more luck seeing when someone has posted.
So glad to hear from you again and so glad that you came back to the new and "IMPROVED???" board.
