Hi Simon. I am new to this group. Can you tell us what those groups are that you mention?

Just did this 2 days ago. I sent an open invite to some of my close friends to join this group and get a good wake up call. Barb-Detroit

Here is a list of groups that I joined that you can take a look at.

http://dailystrength.org/groups/learntoloveyourself

http://dailystrength.org/groups/thepositiveaffirmationgroup

http://dailystrength.org/groups/think-positively-group

http://dailystrength.org/groups/building-confidence

Some of the members here are already members of some of these groups.

PMA groups for people in specific support groups.

http://dailystrength.org/groups/positive-mental-attitude-for-dyslexics This group is for people who are dyslexic.

Thanks Simon! I was on all but 1.

Boy, you two are really high achievers. Gecko and Simon are glistening in all of these groups on DS, just like Gecko's million suns.
It is kinda cool to visit these other groups and see your names listed in discussions.
( I giggle to myself and think...tee hee....I know them !! )
Well, I am a woman of simple pleasures. It does tickle my fancy, though.

In a previous post the starwars analogy was brought up, revamped for DS it goes something like this.

When Daily Strength was created the idea was to have a support network where people could support each other but DS grew very large and it was not possible for anybody to monitor all activity.

So the Dark Side came in in the form of trolls and people who take their amusment at other people's expence. Praying on people who were already suffering.

Positive thinking groups are the counter balance to the Dark Side and have sprung up to help bring DS back to its origonal ideals.

People like GoodGod, Gecko, Kok, Barb, and many others are like the Jedi warriers going from group to group keeping the light of positive thinking shining across DS.

When you add a reply in a support group you promise to be nice and not say bad things about any other member. It is only in some of the member groups, specifically positive thinking groups (where ironically it is not required to make this promise) that people rigidly follow this rule.

I hate the darkside! I love being in the light with my friends and fellow Jedi warriers. I am thankful for all the good feelings that I get from this group.
