I just want to say thank you

[MoseyWalker]

in a big, big way, and huge hugs to everyone at DU, but to someone in particular.

I have a star. I HAVE A STAR!

I will donate once I get myself going again financially, but this really blows me away.

I know there are many, many more worthy than me, but I appreciate this gesture more than anyone will ever know.

Wow.

THANK YOU!

I'll do my best to make posts that are worthy (but please don't be disappointed if I screw up now and again)

Wow.

1. Worthy posts.... What a concept. Just be yourself and post what you

feel :)

[MoseyWalker]

2. This might not be of interest

but I have so many tears in my eyes because of this.

Having someone be so incredibly nice is such and incredible feeling to carry on into other parts of this life.

It means more than one may think.

3. Of course it is. Its always wonderful to see people behave altruistically

(wasn't me, just to clarify)

[MoseyWalker]

4. sniff

you're as nice as the star person, so you might as well be!

:grouphug:

6. Don't know about that that, but thanks :) You're nice too. Of the stars

I've donated, I think only 2 out of 20 or so acknowledged them :hi:

5. Pay it forward someday

when you're able.

:hi:

[MoseyWalker]

7. It's guaranteed!

I promise.

:hi:

8. And by the way

I didn't buy your star, but I have bought some in the past and it's fun!

Glad you're part of DU.

9. Isn't it funny?

I always feel the need to clarify that too, in case someone thinks I did or that I'm trying to insinuate that I did. Yet looking at your post, I didn't even think about the fact that you might be the one that donated it, I just appreciated your post.

10. My dear MoseyWalker!

I'm so glad someone bought you a star.......no, it wasn't me........

I have bought them for people in the past, and it feels great to be able to do it!

Pay it forward one sweet day, OK?

And then you'll be able to see how it feels from that side........

You are a genuine doll, and a terrific poster......

I am glad you're part of DU!

:woohoo: :woohoo:

11. Can I ask One Small Favor?

Please don't read any of my previous posts?

Once I have a star, I am a reborn bit of energy of the universe, and cannot be what I was before.

I'll try to concentrate that energy in a good way!

13. I am puzzled, but of course........

I will do as you ask..........:hug:

12. I also feel the need to put this in

i know that some feel that it is "unseemly" in some way to acknowledge the gift. I don't feel that way.

It is not something to feel bad about. It will be repaid with interest (in more ways than one).

Think about people who sometimes need help with housing costs, or food costs. This is nothing to feel bad about. I still think that is why we are here. To help. If not that, then why?

A star is a symbol of that spirit, that belief, that gift of caring.

I think that is why it tears me up so much.

That spirit lives.

It's a positive spirit, and I am pleased to be sharing it with all you!
