End Of the Decade Olive Branch

[Kool Kat]

Hi Gents:

I almost hesitate to post in a thread featuring such illustrious (infamous? :eek1:) CS vets?

Mr. RR
Hawk
RedDevil
Glint

But I do like the virtual :group: "hug."

And I believe it is time (with a new year), for every poster, to grasp the extended olive branch, practice more civility on the forums, and to move forward. I'm speaking of myself as well as others since I've had a few "slips" of the keyboard when posting here. :chin:

I posted the following "Mike's 10 Wishes and Hopes for 2010" on my kayak blog (Durhamblogger.com) on December 31... and I think may be applicable here?

Thank God for all your blessings
Spend more time with family and friends
Say "I love you" more often
Smile and laugh more
Love yourself and then love others
Build up, don't tear down
Give more of yourself and watch it returned tenfold
Appreciate, respect, and care for nature
Help others
Take life one stroke at a time

Maybe take what you can from the list... and apply in your life... and conduct on the CS forums? :chin:

For myself, I'll redouble my efforts to conduct myself in a civil and polite manner and work to respond with more constructive posts. I also will strive to "let some things go" and choose not to respond to some posters - not worth the stress and worry!

I really am passionate about CS and look forward to participating more in these forums in 2010! :smoke:
