Please Take Care of Yourself...and each other

[Oliver1970]

We are all here for similar issues and different reasons. But we are here. I have noticed the give and take...the ebb and flow...of the posts.

On dark days we reach out, and someone reaches back. Any reply is a person who cared enough to answer. Those words, written here, save lives.

And in a few days, the person who reached out, is the one replying to another's need.

And it happens over and over.

The holidays are extremely tough for some of us. So please know, that you are needed. That you matter. Your words...your voice...matters.

We are all here for each other. And your simple reply is answered prayer for the person who posted and is waiting to see if anyone cares.

You matter. Help when you can. Ask for help when you need it. Always remember how important you are.

And for those who may need to hear it, I love you.

Thanks Oliver, what a nice heartfelt message.

Beautifully said Oliver. I believe it’s the putting back after being helped that fills us with pride. That in turn increases our positive mental health attitude.

Yes it does! Helping others when we can helps us feel more positive about ourselves.

Thank you for your lovely post. So true and this morning for me it was much needed. Much love and caring flows through this forum. I see it often and do my best to offer encouragement and help when I can. HUGS and BLESSINGS ❤

It really is a heartwarming thing to behold. I have seen, and experienced, this ebb and flow as well. Truly a thing of beauty! Well observed and well put friend. 👀

It's just so easy to lose sight of what we do for one another when we are facing it ourselves.And so important to remember that each post is a cry for help, and each reply can be a lifeline.
