Sending positive thoughts to anyone that needs them :) Hope everyone is doing well :)

Just wanted to post that I am sending positive thoughts to anyone that needs them. I doubt if anyone remembers me but I used to post here under the user name "CarolinaPeridot". Joined this site when I was 23 years old, and now I am 32 - time flies!!!

Again, if anyone needs a good thought or hug, you have plenty from me

All the best!!!

1. CarolinaPeridot!

Haven't seen you in ages! How have you been?

Good to see you!

Hell, yeah, I'll take a hug. I'm about to start clinic. Thursdays are always rough. If you see my recent posts here in the Lounge, you'll know there's been good news in my practice lately, but hugs and good thoughts are always welcome...

It's good to see you again!...

2. Hey Aristus!!!

I've been doing really well! 2012 has been the best year ever for me

Life takes twists and turns but I have learned that everything happens for a reason. Having positive thoughts makes life a whole lot easier. I've been blessed and it took me some time to realize that. I have a lot to be thankful for. I had to come back to the DU to get some hope for this election - my fingers are crossed that we will all be happy election night!!!

3. That's good to hear. I'm happy for you.

What has made it such a good year for you?

5. I learned to stop taking life for granted...

And to do everything I wanted with my life I know it sounds cliche but it is the truth.

4. I remember you!

Your user name stuck with me because I live in North Georgia, and when I was a kid my family went gem mining in Franklin, NC. So, somewhere in a shoebox somewhere, I have my very own Carolina Peridot.

6. Awww too cool!

Lived in NC my whole life and never thought about gem mining. I need to put that on my "to do list" for next spring/summer for sure.
