RE: #Ridicule as a sport, vs constructive criticism: Happy Holidays--and may family gatherings be full of kindness

@carolkean,

Thank you, my friend, for deciding to join in on my #bestseasonalthoughts contest. The contest is actually running until the 25th of December, so you are not too late! I could go on, and on, about the quality, "I know what you mean", and content you provided, but this says it all:

Sometimes I wonder how I can be a gray-haired grandma more than half a century old yet so lacking in the confidence and Teflon-coating or callouses that come with surviving years of all the ridiculous things life can dish out. But I do find affirmations where I can, even (yes) in goat videos on you-tube.

I am 49... I get it, I have been there, wrote the mini-series! Thank you... again, for your entry...

Thank you so much @wesphilbin!!!

You get it!!!
For readers who might take my word for it (oh no, don't do that), I'm glad you corrected me: the contest is not over yet! A Christmas day deadline? I hope you'll be too busy celebrating with loved ones to have time to read contest entries! Thank you again for hosting this, for promoting *positivity, and for all your kind words. And may you be on the mend soon with the inflamed liver and kidney stone!

Oh yes, my friend...

I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in 2016, which started quite a journey... as for the contest timeline; I have had my #thoughtfuldailypost movement going for some time... I see all the "negative" energy on the blockchain... downvotes, lack of appreciation, and I realized its really no different "out here"...

So November 25th, I decided to do a contest (which I said I would never do... like vlogging) and take one month... help amplify awesome and positive energy. It's not much, and I am not some Whale... but it's the thought that counts... right? Day by day my friend... appreciate your kind words, reply, and support!

You have MS? I'm so sorry. The liver/kidney issues on top of that. The downvoters. I applaud your efforts to be positive and to SPREAD positivity!

Not a whale - alas, that's what keeps me from showing my support. I was auto-tipping my favorite bloggers and kept running out of funds for it, so I no longer tipu, but I hear that all changed after hardfork.

You go!!! Thank you for all you're doing!!

You got some love from a member of @thealliance family!
Keep up the great work and join us in The Castle sometime!

Thank you, thank you, @alliedforces, @untersatz, @trendotoken, @helpiecake, @drotto, @innerblocks, @c-squared... what an outpouring of affirmations that I should be too old to "need," but I guess we never outgrow the craving for love, acceptance, and belonging. Again, thank you!
