Inspiring SG - definitely one of your best posts.


ok - I've been thinking about this for quite some time also. I too, have been struggling to really find an answer, if there is one. . .

I'll just start rambling and see what happens . . .

In no particular order -

The Cellar has brought from the brink of insanity to the clearest of cogent thought. It has infuriated me, made me laugh out loud, left me in utter awe and yes even tear up more than once. I have gained some insight into the views of people, places and things that I would probably never have had the opportunity to hear, see or think about.

I have been both ridiculed and supported on a variety of comments things. I have been proven both right and wrong on a variety of subjects I've had my opinions altered in some cases and galvanized in others - sometimes by the same people.

I have been educated about many things. I'm constantly amazed at the breadth and depth of knowledge from the "regulars" here. I couldn't begin to list the many topics that we have "experts" here as consistent posters.

Additionally, the way that most freely reach out to others in need. I can speak from personal experience on this. It has been an overwhelmingly emotional experience for me at times. Those who know, understand. Lastly, I have had my belief in humanity challenged and yet repeatedly renewed from many of you. The help, concern and advice so freely offered has been inspiring to see and at times be a part of.
