Morning to everyone here 🙂

While I'm feeling all feel good-ish this morning, I wanted to come by and say a good morning here for the last time this year. A huge thank you to everyone who has been part of my 2018 and to all who have added something special to it. Being part of this community has been a 'great' of the year for me 😊

I hope the year ends safely and happily for everyone.

Big ❤ and lots of 🌈 xxx

Lots of the same back to you CB - you are a bright light in this forum and part of what makes it super special to be part of. Love and hugs to you @CheerBear and I hope 2019 is a better one for you and you LF 💜💙💚🧡💛

[CheerBear]

Naww thank you @Zoe7 and I feel the same about you and what you bring to us here 💗. I am very excited about what 2019 might have in it for you and looking forward to hearing all about it as you go. You've set yourself up, through lots of hard work and oodles of determination, and I have a really strong feeling it will pay off for you. Big yay for you!

[Zoe7]

awww @CheerBear thank you my wonderful CB - I hope 2019 is better for both of us. We have both dealt with some big stuff this year and still come through it okay - that shows our resilience and strength and as always I have thoroughly enjoyed our times together on here. It is amazing how much we love and respect our forum family and how much everyone contributes to this being such a wonderful community - it is unique and much needed and most of us feel a real connection to others here ...it is both our lifeline at times as well as a place to rest when we need support - and you my dear CB make it that way for so many - you are indeed part of the magic of the forum 😍

Gah all the feels this morning @Zoe7!

I look back at the first part of the year for both of us (as well as many others here) and can see how much we really have come through and what, as you said, resilience looks like and is.

I'm proud of the way my year will end, knowing I am standing with more confidence, hope and stability than I could have thought possible if someone had told me what the last part of this year was to dish out. I know a big part of that has been being in the company of support, acceptance and belief in me that this safe landing space here with all the amazingly huge hearts, listening eyes and gentle patient sitting-with-you, offers.

I'm going to head out (with a fluffy cupcake in hand) and tidy up (maybe even mow as the grass is longer than it has ever been here), ready for a day with the crew who are looking forward to tonight.

Hope you have a great day out today.

Catchya later 😊💗

Totally agree with all you wrote @CheerBear - have a great day Hon ...I am expecting to as well. Big hugs to you, your LF, Noodle and Mouse and I really do hope the coming year is filled with all your dreams coming true. Hugs and hugs 

[Appleblossom]

Yes the safe landing space makes a huge difference for me too. @CheerBear

@Zoe7 Have a good one.  You have been busy here and online.  The thing about good online experiences is that we carry them in our head and it influences our imagination.  Here hoping you carry it all to your new school and forget the old one ... the bad bits ...

@TAB You rang? 

Von Tab ist gut sponge Ha! Amazing you got accents before vocab. I guess that is the mimic.

Life would have been hard for you growing up with your father (still is).  He would have felt very isolated here and just had to stew in his own juices re his war trauma.  Sad thing is even if we understand that as children, the damage is so deep that it is hard to get through thick skins ... for my mum .. but also lots germans I have met here ... Weird thing is I felt closer to many germans than to Aussies ... 

I wonder how @Jacques is going. Hope you aren't too bad ... I know you have a life outside of the forum now, which is great, but it is always great to see you. You were one of the first peple I connected to on here.  Still fond ...

oh my dear friend @Appleblossom,

gosh it has been too long my virtual mum, how is your son and his partner going, how are you coping, what is new in your life.

im so sorry i struggle to be on, you are right just a lot going on now. hugs my dear dear friend, you are always in my thought and heart.

hugs

Jacques
