Every time a board member comes on the board, even though she/he is in pain, or sad, or lonely or depressed, it is a testament to the goodness of this board. It is us, individually, and as a group, saying "YES"... we will be here for each other. "YES", I feel like sh*t today, but I'm worried about how Terry, or ______, or _____, or _______ is, so I am going to get up and check. It is worth worrying (usually) that one will be shedding more tears while in the process of checking in on each other and posting a word of support, or a thought, or an idea. It is the energy and commitment that keeps us all coming together, coming back, even though the coming back is sometimes like a bucket of ice water in the face or down the spine. Some days, it has been all that has kept me together....some days, it sort of has me coming apart. But, I could never not come back, because at the end of the day, here, at the Colon Club, it's just like coming home. That's my good thought for the day.

In discussion elsewhere, a thought has come up about having a POSITIVE message thread. So, this thread is for that purpose: a place to post a positive saying, story, or message, etc. We all need a place to go for "good thoughts", and this is it. Please add yours!
