Diamonds in the Rough


I want to express my gratitude for this board, which of course, means thanking John and every single member.  It's evident that we're all at varying stages of our recoveries; thus, we are able to help on another.  Sometimes, I feel I've taking a giant leap forward, only to find myself back 10 steps!  But all I have to do is come back here and I can often get back up to where I was.

Today as I was reading some posts when a  thought came to mind:  we're like diamonds in the rough - through out shares we polish each other so that our inner lights  shine brighter all the time.  (Call it HP, God, whatever.  Doesn't matter to me.)

I see so many of you earnestly striving to be the best person you can be.  I see a lot of growth and that keeps me on my path.

Thank you ALL for being such an inspiration to me.  sun.gif

I agree and what a beautiful and thoughtful thing to say! I feel the same way, sometimes I have something to share other times I need to just read.

I loved the quote on diamonds in the rough....I wrote it down. I couldn't agree more.
