OH: Loving Other's Progress and NSVs
I was just thinking about how wonderful it is to hear about how everyone is doing. It really makes a difference in being in this "together". Thank you all for sharing on a daily basis (all of it really - the "good, bad and ugly")!

I love hearing about everyone too! It's great that OH gives us a place to celebrate each other's victories and support each other through challenges.

I love the honesty here. Knowing the good outcomes is awesome and inspiring, it gives me great hope.
On the flip side, when someone is having a hard time or something wrong happens, the support and honesty inspires me as well.
So thankful to have found OH
Very well said Liz.

LIZ - very, very well said!!! I get inspired by EVERYONE, regardless of where they are, on their journey...
I learn something new EVERY day...Sometimes I learn what NOT to do, but that's important, also !!
The word that struck me the most, in your post was "daily"...No, not ALL can post daily, but most can FREQUENTLY (Facebook, much????)...
My personal pet peeve is members who do "drive bys", just to pat themselves on the back, and garner compliments, never sticking around to HELP someone else...to pay it forward, the way others did FOR them...Anybody can take 3 minutes and swoop in/post a pic/be gone for another year...
Sorry...shouldn't have whined, on your POSITIVE post !!!!!
