for the most part, I'm not going to get thoughtless, nasty or argumentative comments on my work when I spend the time creating a post

So true! We can post, get comments of opposing and supportive views and everyone is usually very mature and will have a friendly debate. Such a nice feeling and refreshing way to interact.

I have always been a person who likes to give back, support and do for others. I thank my parents for that. They instilled good qualities in me.

I am so HAPPY you found my story encouraging. Sometimes I think people forget which direction to turn and it's nice when we find our way.
