Youz Gize ah Da BEST, 'Ju Kno Dat?

Lost and Found

Here's something profound that I'd lost, and now found,
  and felt that with you I must share,
It's not a small seichel, this fine Shabbos meichel,
  for which we can all be aware.

Seems here at the Forum it's part of decorum
  to only encourage each other.
When one's out with the tide, we see just their bright side
  and hug like a sister and brother.

The way we will grow, is, as we all know,
 by finding our own sense of worth.
(And it won't hurt a shtickle, from Admin to Pickle
  to each add their flavor n' mirth!)

But the secret's in living a life filled with giving,
  without want to get in return.
We've known this from when we were young, way back then,
  but needed more practice to learn.

Here, under our Guard, we've learned it's not hard
  to make sure to be Dan L'Kaf Zechut.
We've put into practice that which attracts us
  and embraced what's Holy & Good.

But I've tend to've forgotten those souls I've begotten
  whose hearts are so young and fragile;
They, too, will not blossom if fed naught but flotsam
  of critical words all the while.

So I'm newly determined to not act like the vermin
  who end up with insecure kids;
Now thru positive speaking, and eiyin-tov tweaking,
  I'm building THEIR world without R.I.D.

May Hashem give me koach (and a little more moach),
  for my kids, no less than you guys,
deserve to be treated as mentchen, and seated
  among those whose hearts soar the skies.

I daven the story will end in G-d's glory
  and we'll straighten what started to bend.
But I know and I see that it's thru GYE,
  my whole family's now on the mend.


Thank you all, & Good Shabbos.

steve,
you are GADOL!  8) 8)
indeed, after almost one month clean, we feel as you write :
"But I know and I see that it's thru GYE,
  my whole family's now on the mend." 
i mean at least my private family.

OL,

Thanx.

I wrote it referring to my family, the 4 kids & my wife. We already KNOW our GYE family is on the mend.

This site, and this forum IS THE BEST!! I love it here. It's filled with so manny wonderful people all trying to help each other grow closer to Hahsem, and be happier with life.

It's like one of the few, safe and sane places on the planet.

Just wanna reiterate somin' I said som'where else...

See, my pals Haba & OneLife are making AMAZING strides, they think I'm pullin' them, but they don' realize that they're really pushing me.

So, in a quiet response to the below question:

Ain't it the Truth!

Just saw the announcement about the separated forums.

I posted my comments there, on the announcements.

Not gonna repeat it here.

We need to move on, and concentrate on OUR cheilek.

maybe, just maybe, we guys can be better, closer friends because we had a glimpse of the way the women bond emotionally with each other.

I wouldn't want this place to fall into a testosterone sling-fest, and i don't think it will. The level of sharing and friendship is strong, and can only grow deeper.

So let's all continue to be REAL and grow together.

And now a toast to the NEW MEN'S GYE FORUM!!

L'Chaim!!

Dear Steve,

It's amazing I read your posts all the time, and see such a ba'al avodah!! You have such a positive attitude, and are ready to take on anything head on....

I don't who is pushing, who is pulling but this lil deal we have you, OneLife and Me is really a lifesaver, and I really hope (it's even a bit scary just thinking about it) to reach 90 with you guys at my side this time around!!!

Keep on TRUKKKIN!!!!
