Revisit for today, Sunday October 4th?

#SundayPositivePostChallenge

Hi, sidsmom !

It's really nice to see you and your #quote today.

Just the fact you had to post that request tells me all I need to know. For all the time I've stayed away, some things never change. Guess it didn't become the Eutopia some claimed would happen if I left. Sad to see the same negativity from some of the same people. Until they are more conscious of their words, this repeated plea will fall on deaf ears. Although it is a worthy request. I'm alive, healthy, working....have food, shelter, heat, clean water, medicine, friendship, and love...and most of all I have faith. I try every day to give to others some of the goodness in my life. For me, the little things arent too big, and thst keeps me positive.

Just wanted to say it was nice to see a post from you.  Some things don't change, but I wanted to acknowledge your post.

I've been trying, but it seems that I occasionally and eventually end up getting 'dragged down into the mire' (whatever that means, lol).  The key is to not even read about the terrible events going on now-a-days, on these threads.  'Keep out of trouble', in other words.

How about sitting on one's hands and just let it go ?

I don't ever recall anyone here ever saying, " You know, you're right and I'm wrong. I've changed my mind completely. Thanks you for setting me straight !" LOL

my motto is treat everyone how you wish to be treated.  i have almost never wavered from that.

Hi, His Elk! So nice to see you still around, and thanks for your kindness! I'm still trying to sort out this new and improved forum, and it doesn't help to be doing it on a phone, lol! Look forward to posting with you in the future, have a wonderful week. Hope this actually goes thru this time *fingers crossed*

Did anyone see a difference?  Or maybe a better question is, did anyone make a concerted effort to post differently?  (I'm aware that many posters already post carefully and thoughtfully.)

Good question, @GingerPeach.  I've only read and posted a tiny bit in the past few days so I don't know the answer but I'll bet some folks gave it a try.  At the least, it's always a good reminder, right?

Hi, @JustJules!  I just wanted to echo @His Elk's comment that it's nice to see you posting.  It's also nice to see you, @His Elk and I'm sorry to see you had a problem with your account -- did you let the support team know, so they could try and restore your original one?

I suppose some things don't change, but in my opinion things are improving here.  Much of it is perspective, I suppose, and maybe each person's experience here is different.

Have a great day, everyone!
