Ya! We can do that here if we want to or need to. Isn't it great and there will always be someone out there to offer a virtual hug when we obviously need one, then be there tomorrow to ask if we're having a better day? Here's hoping your day has been awesome today.
Hugs,

"DRINKING FROM MY SAUCER aka MY CUP RUNNETH OVER" by Jimmy Dean

"I never made a fortune and it's probably too late now
But I don't worry about that much, I'm happy anyhow
And as I go along life's journey, I'm reaping better than I sowed
I'm drinking from my saucer, cause my cup has overflowed.

I ain't got a lot of riches, and sometimes the goings tough
but I've got kids who love me and that makes me rich enough
I just thank God for his blessings and the mercies he's bestowed.
I'm drinking from my saucer, cause my cup has overflowed.

I remember times when things went wrong, and my faith got a little thin
but then all at once the dark clouds broke, and the sun peeked through again
so Lord help me not to gripe about the tough rows I hoed
I'm drinking from my saucer, cause my cup has overflowed.

And if God gives me strength and courage, when the way grows steep and rough
I'll not ask for another blessing, I'm already blessed enough
And may I never be too busy to help another bear his load
I'll keep drinking from my saucer, cause my cup has overflowed."

Hey eveybody needs a chance to vent once in a while and get a hug even online. If you don't like the carping, don't have to read it.

This board is the best!!!! The other night we helped a gal get away from an abusive husband, gave her people to talk to, to assure her that this wasn't a gossip column, & that nothing would go further than right here. We said it & meant it!! And she finally calmed down & started feeling better. That's the best part of this board, besides the quilting & sewing part!!!!!

I was brought up with the idea that you should give 10 compliments before complaining once.

I don't agree. Everyone is very supportive, kind and very creative.
