Hey gizmooooooo 😮, how are you my dear friend? I hope you are doing well… Sorry I can't select more than 7 qualities… lol… But you know how much I respect you… You are really my inspiration. I really love to talk to you in pms and groups. You are such a cheerful person that I love to see you in the room. I love how you bring positivity in the room and you always stay energetic. I wish I could have the same amount of energy over time. Lol. Well, i want to thank you gizmo my dear friend for always supporting me and guiding me. You really did well and you deserve to be appreciated. I wish I could do more for you, but I can only appreciate you and my pms are always open for you. Please let me know if I can be helpful to you. You are such a lovely soul that I feel glad to find you here on this platform. I really respect your time, efforts, and roles here in making this platform secure and better for every listener and members. I will miss how we used to chat in rooms and pm. You will always be in my heart gizmo my dear friend. I will be taking leave now. I have to work on myself. If it is in our destiny, we will cross our path one day. But till then, I have to work on myself and become a better person. I have a lot to say… but I know this form is not enough to express everything. So at last, I want to wish you luck. Please take care of yourself, I love the way you are. Never get change. See you soon and be safe here. Things are changing. May your dreams come true. I hope, now you know me. My best wishes are always with you my dear best friend gizmoooooo… 😮 *hugs* 😊❤️
@Bubbles2025
Hi Bubbles! 😊 ❤️ Thank you so very much for making this appreciation post come to fruition! Thank you for all of the time spent on this and for all that you do for others here on the platform as well.
*high fives* 😊 and *hugs* ❤️
Hi My Secret Appreciator! 😊 ❤️ Thank you so very much my friend! You have no idea, how very much this means to me. I'm so grateful that you did this kindness for me.
It's so incredibly impactful to read your beautiful words and kind thoughts in regard to me. It means a lot that you feel this way. I'm so glad that I have been there for you in the moments that you needed it. The pleasure was all mine my friend!
I think I may have an indication of who it is that you are? Well, I guess you and I know the outcome now if I have guessed correctly.
In an effort to bring you comfort, first I'll say that we all make mistakes. To be human is to be fallible. We all make them. I don't stand in judgement of you as I understand this concept. "People who live in glass houses should not throw stones". I would be hard pressed to find anyone on the planet that feels as if they never made a mistake and if I were to find said person....I would be quite concerned about engaging with them further. 😳
I have deep admiration and respect for how it is that you are handling all of this. You are taking ownership of the problem and you are also seeing this as an opportunity for growth and change in a positive direction. Sometimes, in life, it's not about what happens to us, but more about how it is that we respond to it. How we see things as a "teachable moment" and learn and grow from it so that we don't make the same mistake again.
7 cups is the land of second chances. Fall down, get up, fall down, get up. 😊 There is more to be said about a man/woman in how they got back up than in how they fell down in the first place. I'll be here waiting for you to *extend a hand* to help and lift you. I'll be waiting with *open arms* ❤️ .
In the mean time, rest assured, you will be truly missed. ❤️ This isn't goodbye it's simply....see you soon!
*high fives* 😊 and big *hugs* ❤️
*Yawwwwns* good day everyone! I hope you are all doing well. You know what time it is, it is appreciation time : )

I love when you share songs in the group and I used to steal them. Hehe… I will miss those days when we used to exchange and steal songs. I have saved all of your songs in my Excel sheet and I do listen to them. By listening to them, I miss you everytime. I have a lot to say but I know words are not enough to express everything. I really feel secured in presence of you. You always wish me on every occasion and care for me. What else does a brother need from another person? I am really blessed to have you.
