I needed a pick-me-up after the movie I saw last night suckerpunched me. Hard.
Thank you guys for making me believe in humanity again, particularly the creative ones.

Siarra, I don't know what it is about you, but whatever it is, it's something I appreciate. You're a fantastic person and I hope you are aware of that.

Years ago, I took up the mantle of keeping this thread alive, yet even I started to lax quite heavily. But you have diligently stepped up and I'm so proud of faithful women like you who endever to bring sunshine into the lives of others.

"You are my sunshine, my only sunshine. You make me happy when skies are gray."
You have given me a metaphorical blue sky when Morning sickness had clouded over my day. Thank you for making me smile and want to do more with my day. Everywhere you post, you make others smile, or think, and that is a very good thing, Furen.

I just wanted to say that, by virtue of having a mom and dad at some point, you are all human beings and not clones. Therefore, you are all created in the image and likeness of God. Therefore, you are all awesome Magnum Opuses. Let the world chew on that the next time it implies that you are not good enough.

This thread will not die. I refuse to let it. Therefore, I will tell you this amazing thing that happened to me and hope it inspires you as well.
This last week, I got to vacation in Utah with my extended family, and one thing we did was go to Zion National Park. It is one of the most beautiful places I've ever been, and one with some of the most Christian influences. The peaks and formations had names like Angel's Landing, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the Great White Throne, you get the idea. So if you ever get overwhelmed by how aweful the world seems, or how life seems to such, go find some natural beauty and know that There Is A God.
