Back At Ya

This is from an idea I saw on a different forum a long time ago.  The way it works is that you reply to the last post [person] who just posted and you write something from ONE of these categories:

1) A word of encouragement to that person

2) A blessing for that person

3) A prayer for that person

4) A story about that person (positive spin please)

5)A way that person has blessed you or encouraged you.


If you don't know the person, you can still say something nice or wait until someone posts that you do know.  It's okay if someone ends up with more than one (since more than one person may be writing at a time, but the rule is, reply to the bottom name.  Lets see how big we can make this post...shall we?  Who want's to start?

Paul

You have become an amazing friend to me. You have shown me the power of the band and the power of persistance. You have also helped my self-esteem grow more than I ever thought it would... you have a way with words, a true gift (might be the whole journalism thing, lol)... and you really know how to motivate me to come out of my shell and be OK with who I am. For that, I am forever thankful Paul.

Elena-
You are truly an amazing woman!  You have so much to give and truly give from the heart.  I appreciate the way you make many of of us think about what is happening in our bodies and minds as we go through this journey.  I thank you for sharing your life with us!

You are always there and are so welcoming to others.
What a great support person...your knowledge is always so helpful.
You are one of the sweetest and kindest ladies I know. I am proud to call you "friend".

Love ya....hugs....connie d

Connie, in the time I've been on OH, you have been one of the MOST active, MOST supportive people here - all the while, dealing with your own struggles with your grandkids' health issues and all.   God truly must reside in your little hip pocket, to give you the courage, the faith, and the spirit to keep supporting others when you're down!

You're sweet, fun, giving, and - you're a wild party animal to boot!  I knew I loved you!   Here's to more fun times and continued membership in the Loser's Club!!! 

Darla- I think you're a remarkable woman. You're always so supportive to everyone on here, I can only imagine what a great friend you are out in the "real world."   One day I hope to make it up north to coffee to meet you.  Your weight loss success is impressive and inspirational!  I also like that you seem to have a simliar mindset to me in that your siggie line says  "imperfect does not = unsuccessful.  A girl after my own heart.
