5000 Posts In your words, I’ve lived 5000 lives; conquered dragons, loved with all my heart, laughed, cried, discovered unknown places, and more importantly... believed in myself once more as well as you. I’ve found support, encouragement, compassion, truth and friendship. I’ve shared your pain your happiness, your love, your hurt, and your lives. Through your words I’ve learned the meaning of life, of love, of fear, and of strength. I’ve found here a safe haven, a world where dreams still exist, and a place where I am accepted for who I am. 5000 posts, and each one from my heart to yours. Wow...post number 5000 and it goes out to everyone here. Words can not express all the feelings I have for you all. You are by far the most wonderful group of people I have ever had the opportunity of knowing. I just want to say thanks for everything and keep writing and I'll keep reading  When you truly know the meaning of the word Love, you will also know the meaning of the word Pain ~Javan |

Ruth, geez girl 5,000 writes, I thought I was doing good almost getting to 1,000 LoL We do so appreciate all the warm, caring, considerate comments you make (well at least I do LoL). And once again, Happy Birthday (belated now LoL) BTW, darn dog actually pushed me in the pool this afternoon, she's not going outside with me again LoL hehe *hugs* ~*~ ^i^ ~*~ Love is such a lonely art, and death is but a taste. Minds are merely instruments that often go to waste! ~*~ ^i^ ~*~ |

You've come far, Ruth... I recall many a day chatting with you on that "other board" nearly two years ago now.... You're a great lady - It's wonderful to see you grow as a person in your own right, and to support our passionate poets as they do the same. Love Nancy |

Hootessa ONLY 5000 posts? That's strange - I feel as if I've known you all my life. Maybe it seems like you've posted more than that because I've read much of your work more than once. |

Only 5000? There must be a glitch in Ron's computer somewhere...surely there must be more, for we find you everywhere! Aspire on, Hoot. Sunshine Look, then, into thine heart, and write ~~~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow |

Okay passions people...I meant this as a gift to you all and instead, you've given me yet another gift. I'm sitting here reading your replies with tears in my eyes. I wish I could reply to all individually, but I'm afraid I could never say the words I wanted to...so I'll just leave it at this...thanks, I love you all |
