HB ~
       I want to thank you for all of your help.  The info you post has helped me tremendously along with help from everyone else on here.  I also was a lurker for a couple of months.  Then one day something came over me that
insisted I post.  The support I received was overwhelming.  I felt so alone and lost and if hadn't been for everyone on here, the advice I was given, the articles that I have read over and over, I'm afraid I will still be lost.  But I'm not lost anymore.  I have become strong and I even have some moments of happiness.   

I wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Love to you....

Thank You HB and everyone, I don't know where I would be without all of you. I too post for everyone to see my story. The good, the bad and the ugly. If it helps others all the better. It's our journey and I am truly grateful. May this next year bring health and happiness to everyone!!

HB, I wish you and everyone here peace and joy throughout this season and the coming year.  You have helped so many of us, even when you don't realize it.  I get so much out of your posts to others, and even more when I read them twice!  Thank you.

God Bless.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you HB.  As I have told you many times you are indeed a lifesaver.  You have a unique ability to pay it forward and your raw honesty is amazing.  Thank you for your continued guidance.  May you and your family have a blessed New Year.

I do wish everyone here a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

I wish myself, my children, my wife and anyone else here that this applies to a HAPPY CHANUKAH.

Take time out to be thankful for what is good in life.

We only get to live it once.

Bravo!

Lovely sentiments HB!  I am glad your health is ok...if not perfect...but it seems like you are doing fine and you have my prayers for continued management of your condition!  Again, you are a jewel in the crown of life...don't ever forget it.

To those of you who are dealing with health issues, or your families that are, first and foremost, I hope 2012 brings you health and recovery.

For all of you who are suffering with broken hearts, I too hope that 2012 brings about positive change for at least you, your children, if not your marriage entirely.

I thank you all...those that I interact with regularly, and those that I don't...your honesty has helped me immensely even if you aren't aware.  From the bottom of my heart, my gratitude is infinite.

It can't be coincidence we all found each other.  I guess this forum reminds me that with all the lousy things about technology, there are some very serious positives as well.  The bottom line...none of us are alone.  No, indeed.  God is with us...and we, the kindred spirits are here for each other as well.

Merry Christmas, Happy Christmas, Happy Chanukah, Happy New Year.
If this is a hard season for you, remember.....it is all about HOPE.  There is always HOPE.  And if that doesn't help, might I suggest Christmas cookies. 

And I'll conclude with a little Gaelic blessing for you all that I'm sure is familiar to most.....

May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face;
the rains fall soft upon your fields and until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of His hand.

Much, much, much love and appreciation...

I wish a very, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone.  And, for all of you my wish is that you won't be alone at this time of the year.  Volunteer, find a friend, find someone else that is alone, whatever you have to do and share the holiday spirit with them.

HB, thank you for all of your help in the past.  I do hope your health continues to improve.  So glad that you and your husband are doing well and are happy.  Much love.

Merry Christmas to everyone in this fabulous community! RCR you are truly an angel. I believe God makes us aware of people or things at just the right time; it's when we need them most. When I was so shell shocked I accidentally found this site. And what a blessing it has been.

None of us knows what our future holds, but I think we can all agree that no matter what we are going through right now, there is something we have for which we can have gratitude. I have a wonderful family, a beautiful granddaughter, my health, a job, a roof over my head and food in the pantry. I also have many wonderful new friends that I have met through this site, and to them I say thank you from the bottom of my heart.

2012 will soon be here.... A simple reminder that life indeed does go on!
