Chatterbox: Chirp at Cricket

Weekly Uplift Thread!

Weekly Uplift Thread!
I actually didn't get this idea from Lucy; I had this idea since before I returned. I was thinking that every Friday, I would post a thread, with one inspiring/happy story, one quote, and one happy or cute picture.
The first person to comment on the thread has to compliment a “minor” CBer or someone who isn't usually complimented. The second comment is a top, obviously, and the third comment should be about something that makes you smile. The fourth, fifth, and sixth comments should all be quotes, and after that, the comments can be about anything. :) 
Like my idea?

Sounds like an amazing idea, Mei! Here's one I posted somewhere else, but I don't think he ever saw it:

HAB ~  You are one of the most wonderful, inspirational people I have gotten to know. You are kind, creative, and unique. Every comment you make is to better the Chatterbox, and I really appreciate it In everyone's hard times, you are always here to lift us up. That is something I respect and am glad to have; a shoulder that any one of us can lean on.

One of my favorite quotes:

"Be the change you wish to see in the world." ~ Mahatma Gandhi

Ph, just saying: This isn't a weekly uplift thread; Just the idea. I'll post it on Friday.

I LOVE your idea! I know this isn't a thread, but I'll post a quote anyway:

"Friends are like stars. You don't always see them, but you know they're always there."

"If you're laughing and having a grand old time, you're probably not following directions." My fourth grade teacher said this once and I thought it was funny so I wrote it down. It's a very true quote.

I like it except for the"minor " part. Nobody is a minor here.

You're absolutely right, ". . ." Nobody is a minor in here. I just wanted to be more inclusive, and "minor" is the term we normally use, and I know we shouldn't. I'm sorry, I should have used different words. I wanted this to be a chance for other people to shine.
