Quote: Basically, what we want and need from posters is honesty with kindness, praise without veneration (thanks to Myrrh for the great vocabulary word), guidance without use of force, and compassion without pity.

Things I am grateful for... I appreciate...
--my family. my mom and my sisters have been tremendously supportive for me throughout all of this. --the new friends I've made since December. they have helped to me to have a life again. --that I'm going to church again and really happy about it. --my job, a job that challenges me and lets me be myself. --this bulletin board and all the wonderful people on it. --that my W is an extremely generous and caring person. that I am lucky to have her as a friend.
