Morning
@Barb McD ...
Nice post, from the heart and honest ..liked.
As for the group, we are all different
..., as you already know.
i guess if it was a Pop Group, i'd be noisy spice...
If it was a Pub crowd, i'd be the one telling naughty jokes and laughing WAY to loud at other peoples.
if it was Cheers...I LIKE to think i'd be SAM, ....but i'd more likely be Norman..
sat with that dry laconic wit, (i wished)
watching the world go by, as i sat with friends, discussing the ins and outs of the topics of the day, and sharing the world we know...
( a good description of here, me thinks )
BUT i used to work in retail and i sometimes told the missus on holiday when i was being quiet,
i wasn't being miserable,..
i talk for a living, ( in essence ), so it's nice to just sit quietly and enjoy what others are saying...
A foreign concept to her, obviously...
........but i digress.
So i really get where you are at, just enjoying the moments until you want to throw in your tuppence worth
of chat, advice, anecdote, whatever.
and while that first "Hi, I'm diabetic.." lets us know your name, it's the posts that really flesh out WHO you are
We are all kind, loving, caring, thoughtful, informative, talented, funny.etc.
but some just do those things better then me.
Does that mean i don't post because i can't compete..hell no.
That just lets me sit back and admire their sumptuous skills in whatever sphere they excel in,
and try and learn a tiny bit from their outlook or way of saying or seeing something.
I guess what i mean is don't feel you must be anyone else, certainly NOT on here,..just be you.
A noisy poster ?..an infoirmative poster ?..maybe, but whatever you posts lets us in to YOUR world just a little bit,
Boring and mundane as we ALL think our lives are, sometimes, it can be surprising how many will KNOW how THAT looks and feels,
OR How many will appreciate the insight or just the friendly chatter.
and as for apologising..PERLEASE...
if it wasn't for the readers like you and many others, ticking those emoji boxes,
those who are more noisier on the posting wouldn't have anyone to write for...
:***:
So your work IS much appreciated.
and finally..ALONE
..on here
..
NEVER HAPPENED..
