Hello to all those who post here in the Chronic Pain segment of Bnet!

Over the last few years I have hosted  various boards here and always found the results quite positive to say the least!
From time to time it is true we all are open to having either a really good day, or of course there are those not so great 'bad days'.
As host, I ask that you always feel free to come here among friends and talk of not only the good things in life but the upsetting as well.  {such as pain, and recovery}.  With this invitation though is always the 'unsaid' agreement that we will treat everyone with respect and compassion.  It has been my motto for many many years now that on days when we just cant seem to say anything nice, perhaps it might be a day to say nothng at all??? 
Afterall if we have to try to repair feelings once something is said, we would have no time left to keep making all the great friends so many of us have come to meet here at Bnet!  **smile**
May today find many of you just a little less painfree, and the sunshine perhaps just a wee bit brighter!
Love and Light ^9^
Your Host

Eve,
Your poems say it all & we all should try to live by them.
God Bless

Dear Wind,
Thanks for hosting us! I have another quote along the lines of Eve's :
         "For today, dear Lord,
           Please keep your arm around my shoulder
           And your hand over my mouth!"
  My own one is this:
   It takes less time to leave hurtful words unsaid
   Than to atone for the damage you've done
  You can't remove them once they've been said
  They will keep on playing in someone else's head.
