Hi Everyone
I think it has been about a year since I discovered this forum (& its predecessor). During this year I have learned & been exposed to so many different ideas. I have a friend who is a member of another group who is fond of saying "there are, what, maybe 10 of us here & let's say our average age is 20 -- that means we have about 200 years of accumulated wisdom". That's how I feel about this group, multiplied exponentially. A forum where you can hear of other peoples' experiences about everything from constipation to mortgages, where there is inspiration and encouragement at every turn, where lively discussions and exchanges of opinions are encouraged, where a person can ask a question & receive answers & suggestions in response -- this is all an invaluable resource & I thank you all for being here! I put this under the "making a difference" posting because this forum has made a difference in my life & has given me the support I don't receive elsewhere. When I think back to "before the internet", it seems the only way I remember being able to find out about such a diverse "body of knowledge" consisted in hounding some long-suffering reference librarian, or just lucking into knowing someone who might know answers to my questions. Now I have many experts close at hand, sharing your experience, strength & hope!
Thank you for being here!
