Compliments and appreciations train! All aboard!

A huge shoutout to the Veterans and Military Support Community - I have been here long enough to see the idea of this community being planted, watered, and today, it is nourished and taken care of by an awesome group of leaders who continue to inspire, motivate, and make me proud.

@freshMelon54

FreshMelon54, has been the best person I have talked to about what I am going through. She has helped me get through my problem in which I have been dwelling on for months. I never thought that I would be able to get over him, but she basically had me break down the reasons for our relationship, and now I feel that I can say his name without crying. I can also finally listen to a sad song. That's why I am so grateful for her.

Your hard work and dedication in your respective Sub-Communities is very much appreciated. It's an absolute honor to work with each one of you. Thank you for being amazing Community Mentor Leaders and Community Teen Star Leaders! ♥

Actually a handful of listeners have made me smile. I have come to the chat room and felt lost, then, through reflection, found solace and reconciliation.

For this, I've come back time and again, delighted in sweet company.

@pluckytree1337 makes me smirk, guffaw and nod, appreciating the many plucky text offerings in 35+. ^_^

Miera Curie.

She was so nice and understanding when i went through a wobbly patch last week and felt like giving

Up being a listener. She made me remember why i wanted to do it the first place. Its worth staying for the people i can support. Thankyou Miera you were amazing

@Lavendersubmarine

This is a tribute to you. Words cant quite capture how much your friendship means to me. You are always hugely supportive of me, and your kindness, compassion, honesty and big-heartedness are beyond measure. You are my daily inspiration and the debt of gratitude I owe you can never be paid in full and ample measure. Thank you for gracing my daily life, day in and day out with your presence and words, Lavie !

@Jill7cups

Wow, Id honestly been thinking of doing an appreciation post, guess I can do it right here?

Its a long one, but Im not sorry.

I know we have to name one listener, but the past couple of weeks were kinda rough for me, and all these listeners just have been so amazing. Thanks for helping me get through another day, yall.

@Tam33, for listening to my tirade when she should be resting, thank you for your time and your sympathy.

@livefreely04, for checking up on me for the slightest concerns, thank you for your kindness.

@Soothingsunrise, for talking about books, studying and being patient at my less-sane moments, thank you for understanding.

@LilyBlossom21, for helping out when I needed it, and offering your own example, thank you for your empathy.

@Sibafo, for giving Cups insight that I probably dont have, thank you for your perspective.

@DaveBlaine, for being the voice of wisdom in LHR sand offering interesting tidbits of info, thank you for assuring me I spelled humuhumunukunukuapuaa correctly (even though I totally had to check it just now).

@MieraCurie, for lighting up the entire room with your warmth, thank you for being a ray of sunshine.

And @TellMeAboutYourself, for giving me your time both when I need it and want it. I never knew I could be so close to someone here. I am ever so glad I chanced upon you. Thank you for your open heart.
