arent we brave

[nordicnicki]

has anyone noticed just how brave we all seem to be getting?
when i first joined i read alot of post,some between people who have known each other for some time....and it seems that recently we all seem so comfortable to be able to share our past,apsirations,hidden talents and even sharing pictures we have created or photos of family and friends.
i applaud you all as i think it is great for a group of people with one common interest to have such an open welcoming exchange with each other.....we even have the decency to apoligise if we feel we have offended and not have to bite our lips......
i raise my glass to those who are already here and those who watch at the side waiting to join us.....we are unique,special and wonderfully complex bp friends...........big hugs to all xx

AMEN

thank you so much for what you said. it is so true and like i've said before. we seem to connect in a way that leaves too much jugdement at the door and i think a lot of us are feeling a freedom to be ourselves and talk about ourselves for the first time in our lives. and that is why i try to say thank you over and over to Paz and DJ  and phyllis and brian and to my new family.

ditto what nicki said!!!

Right on...I felt like I just had to share pics with you all b/c I felt like you were family that didn't even know what my kids looked like. It just didn't feel right to me.

I hope you don't forget about your "old" family.

What do you mean Elwood???

[elwood]

I'm Sorry high maintenance.  My post and its position right after yours may have been misleading.

My point was about a remark made by k her response about two up from mine.  I do agree with everything she said except I wanted to remark about the last 4 words of the first paragraph.  Even though this is a great place, because we can talk about subjects we all have experienced I wanted to remind k that some of her "old" family should not be forgotten.  I just happen to know her old family and I would like to think she cares about some of them.  I also know that part of her old family has hurt her deeply, so I may be to broad in my previous response.

I hope nobody took offense to my short reply as I meant no offense.  She also referred to Paz, dJ, Phyllis and Brian but they have were not part of my response.  I agree with k and thank them for this place to speak.

I see Elwood...I just didn't understand what you were saying if the message was meant for me.
I think, K-correct me if I'm wrong, but it sounds like to me that she just meant, her new family
as an addition to her personal family.

No problems here Elwood, I get it now

Thanks High Maintenence.  I sorry for upsetting people on one of my few replies.  Thanks for bringing it to my attention
