Goodbye...farewell

Eternal_Optimist

I'm a relative newbie to the MSE boards but I just want to say that I for one will miss your posts....you are so supportive of people going through the bankruptcy process and a great source of advice, ideas....ever kind and generally come across as a gem of a human being:T
I would like to think that you will pop in from time to time but completely understand and support your need to take time out and I wish you well in resolving those issues that are foremost in your mind at the moment......I just hope sincerely that you come back when you feel able:T

I'm very new to this and know nothing/very little about bankruptcy so it is a shame that there will be one less source of advice.

With regards to you becoming insular apart from the contact you have with a computer or your family I can relate to that. I used to live with 3 girls I had nothing in common with, a distance from my family and felt trapped. I then took some time out and went away for a few days in to the coutryside by myself and just thought about what I wanted to do and I mean the simple things in life. I started walking again, then progressed to other activities. I don't mean you should go and climb Everest but just think about the simple things that put a smile on your face...sitting in a cafe people watching, doing a course and achieving something, joining a club, sitting on a beach, on a hill, in a park. Make a simple list. Trust me just doing that will make you feel brighter, then come up with a plan on how you are going to do these things.

Hope that is some help. Live is a challenge and stressful at times but it is also a beautiful gift. You just need to figure out what makes it beautiful for you.

Good luck

Hi Phil (& Nic & Amy of course).

Thankyou for such a wonderfully honest & heartfelt post. There are times when we all know that its time to move on & that, in many ways, is what this board is about.

So good luck sweetheart & although we will all miss you its about getting your life back & if I could do the picture thing, I would post the `group hug` one you did for me when I very first posted!

So take care of yourself & your family & don`t beat yourself up if you find yourself lurking now & again..support is always here.

Sorry you feel you need to leave, and sorry you feel like a parrot. I guess that's why you posted a picture of a parrot after one of my posts yesterday, I apologise for making you feel like that, it wasn't in the least intentional, but when I pressed reply, yours wasn't there, bad timing I guess.:(

I will miss your pics, you seem to have one for every occasion.:j

Good luck with whatever you decide to do with your time.

Man, I'm stunned :eek: Thank you - from me, from Ribbit, and from my kids who's mum would have been a complete basketcase if it wasn't for many of your posts and words of advice.

Wishing you health and happiness - you deserve it.

Hi Phil,

I understand where you are coming from with the "taking over your life feeling" I was tempted to declare MSE to the OR as a part time occupation:rotfl: .

It's as you say, we come here looking for help and advice in our darkest hour, but there are so many people, like you listed, and especially like yourself, who make you feel so welcome and actually understand what you are going through without being judgemental it feels in some way as if you are "neglecting" them by not coming on and posting.It really does become part of your life.

You have been here for ages Phil and I personally am glad that you no longer need these boards. Obviously we will all miss you, we personally have had a good laugh over our dragon OR's (with the W;) ) and I will definitely be sad to see you go, but not sorry if that makes sense.

Would be good to see you pop by once in a blue moon though mate just to let us know you're ok.

Best of luck for the future and thanks again for all the support you've given me and others.

Is there a greater gift you can give anyone - than some of your time, time which helps them though the bad times, and shares in the good times, time which provides support when it is needed, time to laugh, and yes or cry, with them.

As you leave carry with you the certain knowledge that you made a difference, a vital difference in the lives of people who you may never meet face to face - but real people who will always remember you for who you are - and the gift you gave them.
