Reflection...the beauty that grows from a tiny seed.

[AREMINGTONSEDGE]

I've spent several days reading the personal stories in this thread and in turn I admit to crying, laughing, smiling and feeling overall blessed and in some way a better person from having experienced the shared ideas and personal thoughts of our fellow members here on AAPK. We truly are blessed with exceptional folks who have decided to be a part of this family and we are better off from their shared experiences.
It was back on Feb. 27th 2012 I wrote a little story and Dale made a suggestion that we start a forum such as we now have and as others agreed Bryan gave a nod and so the experience began.
Sometimes life can throw a mean curve ball and as we stand there swinging away, frustrated and trying our best to knock it out of the park...a moment of reflection can put it back in to perspective.
Thank you...for everyone who has shared and who will share in the future. You are an inspiration to me in the dark days, and a welcomed feeling of lightheartedness when needed. Always bringing joy to my heart when remembering how blessed I am to be a part of this amazing family.

Well said Rocky!
I agree that the sharing of experiences makes us all stronger and we do have a unique cross-section of people in this online community we call AAPK.

Here, Hear. Ditto, Ditto.

Our forum is a quilt of odd remnants patched together in a strange pattern, threads fraying, fabric wearing thin - but made to keep its warmth even in bitter cold. I bundle-up with the AAPK quilt often and when I do, I am never cold.

Amen and here here Tom!
