this group is much like a flock of geese

[pamgarner]

Did you ever wonder why geese fly in a "V" formation? Two engineers wondered the same thing and discovered that each bird,when it flaps it's wings, creates uplift for the bird behind it.Together they can fly 70% farther than flying alone.We are much like the geese and keep each other uplifted with kind words, caring and prayers.Uplifted by others is easier than traveling alone.thank you for comfort and strength,and kind words.

You as well you must include yourself in this

Yes I did know that and I have no clue why. All birds do that.

I have to admit I know facts about random things my sister tells I’m strange and I shouldn’t know those random facts

[pamgarner in reply to rjoneslaw]

I also love trivial info,no rhyme or reason

[leking1]

Great analogy! Thank you all, my family of Geese!

[pamgarner in reply to leking1]

it is great isn't it?

[Cutefreckles72]

Need the encouragement everyday. Thank you. 👍

[pamgarner in reply to Cutefreckles72]

you betcha!

[goatgal]

And when the leader tires, one of the others moves up, allowing the leader to be supported by those ahead and stronger. Your analogy is perfect for this group. Thank you!

[PWilli in reply to goatgal]

Glad I read replies before posting, don't want to be a copycat (although I do like cats...just don't wanna be one!) So true of this family, when one of us gets tired or down there's a whole flock to lift up and let another flow on our strength.

[pamgarner in reply to PWilli]

thank goodness

[pamgarner in reply to goatgal]

reminds of the song stand by me

[Amore55]

This group has been my support for years now, so glad for my geese, but no geese droppings! 🤣😇😍 Love, Kelly xx

[pamgarner in reply to Amore55]

I KNOW RIGHT?

[RoyceNewton]

Okay being a no it all ex pilot yes I did know t5his. There actually is some really neat aerodynamics in this, just saying. Maybe that is why I suggest taking my hand and traveling together for awhile. Best thing for a newbie, things I wish somebody had offered me way back when.

[pamgarner in reply to RoyceNewton]

we all could use a pick up

[anaishunter]

well said!

[hairbrain4]

I knew that about geese. I think it's amazing that they didn't need a computer or any other machine to figure it out. I too am very appreciative of this group. There are times when I am feeling out of sorts and read these threads and start laughing. It really brings up my spirits. Thank you for being here

[pamgarner in reply to hairbrain4]

[kycmary]
