Please use this thread to post thanks for the RAOK gifts, wishes granted, and anything else you are thankful for here on PBS.  Let's try to keep the ***RAOK*** and ***I Wish*** threads easier to check for wishes to grant and goodies to request.

Note: please be sure to thank people who grant your RAOK wishes. It's not necessary to do it here in the thread, if you would prefer to PM privately to let the sender know you received your gifts. Unfortunately, things do get lost in the mail. In addition, senders have mentioned that they have not heard from the people they have sent things to, and wonder if the items have been received. We hesitate to keep sending to someone who does not acknowledge gifts. If someone declines your request, that may be the reason.  Senders contact me in frustration, saying that they do not know if items are received and that it is usually the same people who do not correspond. Most have decided not to send to those requestors again. It is sad, but necessary to them. So please respond in some way.

If you have questions, please feel free to PM me and ask.  And thanks for using this thread to say Thank You to our wonderful wish granters!

Thank you to each of you that sent our messages, cards, gifts, etc during the holiday season.  Christmas is a most special time of year in our house and each of you made it more so with your kindness.  Thank you.

A big thanks to all who sent me Christmas wishes and enclosures : Vicky, Claire,Connie, Jacci, Sandi, Karen ,Kim and Jeanne. Sorry if I missed someone, my list gets skipped when we get busy!

A really big thanks to Jeanne and Claire who keep the RAOK running so well.  Unless you've done it, you don't realize what it takes to handle it all. Much appreciated.

An extra shout out to Claire for her daily posts of music and fun.  You guys are the best. Here's to another good year with our wonderful RAOK forum!

Happy New Years everyone, i hope all is well and a huge thank you to those who always thought of me evern though i  have not been here for a few months. 

I love all the cards i have received for my birthday, halloowen, xmas and just thinking of me. I appreciated so much they have made me smile and also cry,  This is a wonderful pbs family and i'm so happy to be here. I'm so greatful for all of your msgs, cards and has been a very hard few months but i'm trying to get back like i was. 

My mental health, physical and emotional feelings have been off, i have been seeing a therapist and psychiatrist and new meds and trying to do some of there homework they recommend has been very hard to do. I see both of them tomorrow tuesday and i have not done my homework just one page and have only asked two of my sisters the question they said for me to ask family or friends. i have only 3 friends and i didn't ask them. 

Please now that i do think of this group and i do apprecate you all. always in my prayers. 

Hungs, love, blessings.

ps. I lost my glasses idn where lol but it was a very long 2 wks till i was able to get a new pair. 

pss. Christmas day was my dads 7th year of his passing, so myself, my daughter, 2 sons and 8 grandkids were very sad and crying, just like new years eve.

Thanks, Vicky M, for the calendars. We bring these to local nursing homes when we do outreach programs at work.

Thanks Vicky M for the red spatulas! Somehow in recent years mine had disappeared! I know hubby always uses them when he makes pancakes so can't imagine where they got to.
