Hi - just joined and am testing out the resources. Pretty similar to others I've used.
Think I'll try some smiles since I'm having trouble with my own!

Welcome to your new WS family. We are sorry you needed us but glad that you did find us.

Most new members post a short intro in the Help and Healing section so others can greet them.

Here are some hugs to go with those smiles

Hi chewdi

welcome

most of us are smile deprived - that's why we come here. Hope you'll tell us more about yourself in the Help/Healing Forum (our most widely read)

We really care and depend upon each other.

Hello, I'm new here...just testing out how to reply. I would upload a photo to my profile like some others I've seen, but haven't figured that part out yet. Anyway, just wanted to give this a try...I'm not sure what to expect from this site, but it seems like the posts I've read have been full of sympathy....Gregory :|
