Thank You Realmites and Minions!!!

It is such a pleasure to come here each day, whether the message forum or chat, and find so many caring friends. 

 Many of us here have seen what can happen to a safe haven when it is not lovingly cared for -- like an untended garden, weeds crop up and ultimately overrun the flowers.

Thank you all -- Melly, Skye, Clanmama, Kathy, Carrie, Glenn (and all other Realmites and Minions) for being the flowers in my garden, and for giving me the opportunity to be a part of something so special.

Carol what you said  got me to thinking  how  this place, Recovery Realm, is like my Secret Garden.

With spring just around the corner her warmth will nurture the tiny buds that will appear on the trees and plants. Browns and grays are replaced by a rainbow of colour. Darkness is gently pushed aside and the extra sunlight brings warmth and nourishment to everything it touches.

So  do the the chatters in here. They nuture each other with their warmth and caring. 

It is easy to get swept up in the energy of rebirth and starting anew. With the darkness lifted and the weeds  gone we can all Come Alive, Grow and Bloom! 

A Garden takes hold and flourshes with the planting of the first seed, and it grows because of the patience and time that comes form those who are charged with its care.

which all reminds me of a proverb-

"From Small Beginnings Come Great Things."
