Just wanted to communicate that I admire the advice you offer to others.

I find it wise and effectively communicated.

You are a valuable asset to this forum.

WAT

Always rule out a starboard tack start before considering port - not the other way 'round.

WAT,

You are absolutely right. LA is fantastic.
Thank you LA!

Adrian

Thank you, WAT...you know I've been reading you for years. Your influence is much in my words as so many others.

I certainly didn't begin this way, did I?

Have to share something with you and Adrian, though...

when I saw your call out to me, my heart jumped, and honestly, my eyes flinched...electric shock ran right through me. I hesitated to read it. I actually clicked on the link with my head turned away.

Honestly. I share this to show I fear being called out, bashed and attacked...not that I have ever been on this board...no matter how far I've come, how much I've committed to being honest, true and listening to God...I fear.

I just post anyway.

LA

Oh, and this part?

"and effectively communicated."

Well, that just calls for a happy dance in me. LOL. My goal...constant goal...still working on it. Thank you VERY much.

Adrian? Not leaving you out, buddy...appreciate your support. Two-way streets, right?

LA

LA - I suggest you have nothing to fear, but fear itself.

Hey, catchy phrase, huh? Maybe some future leader can use it? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

WAT

I've never met a WS I liked. I've never met a former WS I didn't like.

Another LA fan here! LA, some of the work you have done here is nothing short of pure magic. You are very gifted and very patient. I am grateful for your contributions to this forum.

I'm laughing out loud at WAT...yeah, it's catchy all right.

Since you're a leader, guess you'd know. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />

Mel,

Thank you, Mel. Ditto back to you...I'm still learning to give it straight without being reactive. That's tricky stuff! You led the way for me for the need for clarity, just as Pep did for honesty.

Thank YOU very much.

LA

I'm chiming in here too! To prove that I didn't just "jump on the bandwagon", I'm providing a quote from myself on another thread from just a few weeks ago...

I've long been positively effected by you LA...The quote below was just the first time that I ever said anything, unfortunately...I should have let you know long before then...Kudos to WAT for passing along praise when he thought it, rather than waiting for an "in" to do so...Wouldn't it be great if we all did that all the time? I think that would change the world...

LA, I often think when I read your posts that you must be a counselor...in my opinion, you certainly would make a great one! Thank you again for helping me to grow here...I feel very blessed to have the opportunity to learn from you... <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />






Many Blessings,

Mrs. W

Oh, to MrsW...

"...I should have let you know long before then..." There are no shoulds because you said it, I remember it. I needed it that night so much. My fear was turning into a giant and your words encouraged me. Fear shrunk.

You're saying it again. I'm dazzled. I usually am when I read your and your H's posts.

"Kudos to WAT for passing along praise when he thought it, rather than waiting for an "in" to do so...Wouldn't it be great if we all did that all the time? I think that would change the world..."

That's the gift I get from you. I emulate you. You take what is and tie it into a lesson, even as you just share your truth.

This feels like praise from the teachers. Thank you very, very much.

I smiled at this inside your quote "...I read many of them mulitple times..." I read this as my words are bones, hard to crack, need to be gnawed on. I do. Your support gives me the idea that maybe, just maybe, they are worth it.

Now, what happened to CJ_Shookup? Maybe he'll look in here?

Your student,
LA
