Looking Back ... email this discussion to a friend?

With Christmas almost upon us, I've been reflecting on this past year, as a member of a discussion forum.

A few years back, I heard someone call this holiday celebration, 'lighting the lights of Christmas.' This presents a beautiful image to me, of the wonder of the season. It's a time, when 'many' seem to truly enter into the spirit of loving and giving, more than at any other time of year.

If I hadn't been a part of 'this community' my year would've been very different. I've enjoyed every minute of getting to know many wonderful people, that I'd have never met otherwise. There are a handful, who I hope know who they are, that I now count as close friends.

So, no matter if, or how, you celebrate this season, what joys has being a member of a community such as this, brought to you?

Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays to all!

Mom I want you to know how thankful I am to you for showing me around here and giving me the chance to meet many wonderful people here also in the past year!

I haven't been on here as much as I would like due to work outside the home etc. but the time I have spent has been truly enjoyable!

What would we do without the many friends we have found here...lovely people who are here for us when we need them:)

This was a bright light in my year as there have been disappointments as well...as I know you are aware...
Thanks so much for being there Mom and for others who read this I hope you know just who you are as I am thankful for all my good friends here:)

I wish you and all my friends a very Merry Christmas and all the best in 2008! I look forward to getting to know you all even more in the months to come!

~Heavens~

Hi heavenschild,

You're very welcome.:) I agree with you, that myLot has definitely been a bright light, as it has been very uplifting for me, as well. I pray that 2008 will be a wonderful year for you, and all of 'our' special friends here. Take care.

My sediments exactly Carol.
I have only been here 3 months, but from the friendship and caring it seems like years.
I wish you and your family a Very Merry Christmas.


myLot reputation of 99/100. someonesmom (2276)   ranked 35 out of 15,182 in internet  2 years ago

Hi Goodie,

It's hard to believe that you've only been with us for 3 months, as you've fit in so well from the beginning. I trust that 2008 will be a great year for you, and that you'll have many days ahead of 'happy myLotting.':)


myLot reputation of 93/100. Goodie123 (7548)   ranked 1,118 out of 15,182 in internet  2 years ago

I cannot beleive it has been 3 months either.
Things are starting to look up already, our weather cleared overnight.Just like magic.


myLot reputation of 99/100. someonesmom (2276)   ranked 35 out of 15,182 in internet  2 years ago

Glad to hear about your weather, and so happy you found us here. I hope you're planning on sticking around, but I think I already know the answer to this.:)


myLot reputation of 93/100. Goodie123 (7548)   ranked 1,118 out of 15,182 in internet  2 years ago

I was over the moon when I found Mylot and made so many beautiful friends.
I will sticking around.

Ummm you know how I said our weather had cleared up, well its back again.
We were told we would have a real rainy time.
Years ago this time of year was classed as our rain season.
Then the rain just disappeared.
But it looks like it may be getting back to what it used to be.


myLot reputation of 99/100. someonesmom (2276)   ranked 35 out of 15,182 in internet  2 years ago

I knew you would be.:) By the way, how did you come across myLot? If you've already mentioned this, sorry, as I can't recall hearing about it before. We don't really have a 'rainy season' here, but it does vary from year to year, re:the amount. Too bad your rainy times are back.:(


myLot reputation of 93/100. Goodie123 (7548)   ranked 1,118 out of 15,182 in internet  2 years ago

I do not mind the rain being back, I just do not want any floods.
Our water catchment area's were getting very low.

I was looking for an advertising site, someone sent me a link for Mylot.
Well when I found out what type of site it was,I gave up on the advertising idea and stayed.
I am so glad I did. I never even knew sites like this existed.


myLot reputation of 99/100. someonesmom (2276)   ranked 35 out of 15,182 in internet  2 years ago

I had no idea they existed either, as this is my first experience, and I'm so glad I found out about it (myLot).:)

Yes, someonesmom, I do love being a part of this community myself and I too have met many people who I feel close to, and I just know I spend way to much time here...LOL...but I am addicted to this place, and so much so I plan to be here even on Christmas..just to pop in now and then and see if anyone else is hanging out here. Of course a damper is the loss of one of our friends..but I plan to go to the other site she hangs out at
You make an interesting point how this time of the year brings out the spirit of loving and giving...it's sometimes a shame when you think of it, that the spirit isn't 365 days of the year though..right?


myLot reputation of 99/100. someonesmom (2276)   ranked 35 out of 15,182 in internet  2 years ago

Hi pyewacket,

I didn't actually get a chance to be here on Christmas day, but I know exactly what you mean, as it's very hard to stay away from this place. I'm very thankful that 'our wonderful friend' is back. I do find it interesting, that the Christmas season can melt some of the hardest hearts. Maybe if some of us can do our best to keep this spirit year round, it'll start a trend.:) Take care.

It still amazes me that this site, one I joined just to make a couple of extra dollars and expected nothing from other than those dollars, has brought in to my life some of the dearest friends I have ever had. It has changed my life in ways I do not even know how to articulate, and I am very grateful for the friendships I have made here.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone and a safe and happy 2008!


myLot reputation of 99/100. someonesmom (2276)   ranked 35 out of 15,182 in internet  2 years ago

Hi dfn,

I feel exactly the same way, as it began as a venture to earn a bit of extra money, for me too. In fact, I'd never even have heard of this site, if it wasn't for an online business I signed up for. The 'actual' business wasn't for me, but one of the 'streams of income' they suggested was myLot. No amount of money can replace the treasured friends I've made here, and I wish you all of the best in 2008 too.:) Take care.
