Today, I have been shown by a friend how to be more gracious a lot kinder and a lot more forgiving. I have watched as fiery darts were thrown... and while they must have hurt -- the recipient was nonetheless unchanged in her calm sweet way.

I know I have the ability to throw my own darts -- and I (too often) do just that.
So today, I will apologize for all the darts I have thrown (even the ones thrown for a good cause or in defense of another) and if any of you were ever hurt by my words -- I am truly sorry.
While that does not mean I will stand by and watch my friends be relentlessly hurt, I will, in the future, try to "speak my mind" with fewer darts and a much kinder tone.

Hugs to all my dear Cute friends!

Having known you for some time now with your never ending help and kind words to fellow cuties, I think you must be talking about the wrong person. The 'rescuer' I know does not seem to have a mean bone in her body. Hugs Sarah.

Could not agree more.

Sarah, you are so sweet and kind to me. My mean bones don't show unless those I care about are being mistreated. When that happens, it is so hard for me to "hold my tongue" -- even at my friends request. Hugs dear friend!

Dennis, you have been such a wonderful asset to this community. Thank you for your kindness and your playful banter. A virtual hug for you as well!

I agree totally with all the good that you do for us ladies here. My hubby of 35 years laughs with me joyfully at all the antics on this site! We laugh and sigh for each other. Joy be yours, all of you!

These are some very wise words. Can not remember you having fired darts. Since it is impossible to agree with everything and everyone this is such a good reminder to express differences in a kind way. I will try to remember your words next time I want to throw darts. Thanks rescuer. To me you are one of the most helpful and kindest person.

Thank you. You are so very kind to say these things. If I could, I would hug you! I do hope to meet you in person one day so that I can...until then, I will give you flowers and virtual hugs.
