A special thanks and a holiday wish

[samantha rogers]

The last year has been the most momentous and important year of my entire life. I have seen more changes, made more progress, known more joy (and tears), and moved closer to being who I want and need to be this last year than in any other year I have known. And in the process, I have been blessed in meeting and becoming friends with so many beautiful souls I cannot even begin to count them. I have learned so much and come to value so highly the many wonderful people with whom I have been blessed to share this life. I know exactly how fortunate I am.
And a lot of it happened here. This amazing path on which I find myself was sped forward and given flight by some special and heartbreakingly wonderful people I now am privileged to call friends, and whom I first met here. I am humbled by them and grateful beyond measure for the help, support and love I have received from them.
So, I want to say thank you.
A big, happy, grateful, sloppy love filled thank you.
To all of you.
You will, none of you, ever know just how much you have given me.
But to all of you I want to wish a very real and love filled Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, celebration of the Winter Solstice or whatever excuse for merriment and joy exists in your life. I hope all of you may find the special path to happiness you all so richly deserve. We all exist under the same sky and despite differences, we all share so much. You are, none of you who carry this beautiful cross, alone. We are all in this together. Knowing that...having learned that...gives me the courage to keep going.
Thank you. Thank you all so much. You are all beautiful. All of you.
Much, much love
Sammie

Sammie:

Well said. The support, camaraderie, friendships, counseling, and abundant advice found here is an anchor to me, helping me to keep perspective on this gift we all share. The giving nature of us all, willing to reach out to others and try to help, despite our own imperfections and issues, is a testament to the strength we gain from being in, of, and among this group.

Bless you all this holiday season, and thank you.

Sammie,

I am very happy for you that this year has seen such positive and affirming change for you in life and the journey we all share. I too am very thankfull for all the advise and inspiration available here on this site. It has had a huge impact on my life as well this year and I have come to accept and embrace who I am, in large part due to all the wonderful souls here who willingly share their experiences, advise and a shoulder to cry on when needed.

I wish you and everyone here the very best this holiday season and hope that the New Year is the BRIGHTEST EVER.

Love to you all
Michelle

Hi Sammie,

Perfectly said, as always ! All that I can add to this is a simple "ditto" !

May all you here have a blessed Holidays, and find the new Year to be a time which you achieve peace, joy, and acceptance, depending on the individual path that we all take.

You are all very special to me, and I also would like to thank each and every one of you for their ears and their support. Some of you I have had the honor of meeting and hanging out with in person, but every virtual person also has my respect and love.

Peace
Gretchen
