(it’s in my great things thread).
But there’s another thing. Twice now the 43t community has blessed me with lots of support. Once, last February and on my birthday in November, which I celebrated for the first time last year in a LONG time.
The cheerbombing in February came at a time that was the lowest I’ve been for many a year, and I was just amazed that people who’d never met me would do that. It was a major piece of what pulled me out of a months long funk I’d been in.
The birthday wishes were a real shock too. I expect 2-3 people to send me a note, happy birthday, if that. I hadn’t expected what I got.
Sometimes, when I start to get blue again, I’ll go back and look at that birthday thread, and it makes me smile. I just found the thread about February…. I’d always thought it was a spontaenous sort of thing.
The fact that people who’ve never met me can care about me enough to take some time to cheer me up or celebrate my birthday is a HUGE gift.
And frankly, to someone who has at times thought her exisitence was a waste of good oxygen, real mind boggling!
Thank you!
