I'm POSITIVE About You

There’s a wonderful story of a wise teacher who gave the class an interesting assignment.

Each student had to write positive things about the other classmates. Only the good impressions, qualities, characteristics, and incidents could be included.

The teacher then collected the assignment & rewrote it so that each student had a page of all the positive things that each classmate wrote about that individual.

Years later, that crumpled piece of paper would be discovered in the possession of the now grown adults. It had meant so much to each person, to remember the good in them during the inevitable difficult, self-critical times.

I’ve just finished reading blabla’s amazing poetry in that thread. Blabla has amazing gifts, yet seems to suffer extremely from that yetzer hara called negative self-talk.

So I’d like to start a thread where we can itemize to other members some of our positive impressions of them. Take it to heart!

You can add as much as you’d like about as many members as you’d like & also to a member already mentioned.

Blabla, I felt your pain while reading your poem & you’ve inspired me to start this thread because of you, so I’ll begin with you:

BLABLA:
