2022: Month of Celebration

[Quincy]

Hi everyone!

It’s that time of year again where we hold our 6th annual Month of Celebration here on the Community Center.

For the newcomers to the CC, we’ve been running this festival every year since 2017 – it works a little bit like an advent calendar. For each day of December, a different community member posts a new topic about something positive or inspirational. We cover both hosting and non-hosting related topics: from nice stories, personal experiences, helpful tips, milestones, traditions, fun facts, and anything else that brings a smile to someone's face! Every year, we’ve shared some great conversations, laughs, and celebrated our wonderful community.

Last year, we had some wonderful topics, including Robin4's with Life is full of coincidences and a festive treat from Huma0 with Christmas: What will you be cooking? The possibilities of writing topics are endless. You can take a look at last years' here, for some inspiration.

If you would like to get involved, please reply to this thread and let us know which date (or dates) you would like to post a topic. I hope you will all enjoy this dose of positivity, whether you get involved or just read and share your thoughts on others' posts. 😄

Enjoy! ✨

Hi @Xanthi3! Glad to hear that you'd like to participate this year again ✨ Is there a specific day in December you would like to post your topic on? 🙂

@Quincy 

Hi Quincy, I would love to be involved in the 'Month of Celebration' once again if you will have me. 

@Cathie19  has rekindled my interest, she and Garry are down in my part of the country from Darwin at the moment. Yesterday afternoon I had a call from her saying they were in the area, could they pop in and say hello! We had a lovely hour or so over a bubbles and a beer and I am hoping we will get together again before they head back up north. 

It's made me realise, you do make friends when you have something in common, no matter what the separation distance. Sure there is going to be the odd 'speed hump' to deal with but I think the positives outweigh the negatives.

If you can pencil me in for the 3rd again that would be great, I have what I think is a lovely experience to relate.

Cheers.........Rob.

PS: I am lovin' that bike Quincy! I will DM you some pics of my recent midnight ride!

[Quincy]

Hi @Robin4 @Cathie19! I hope all of you are having a lovely time meeting up! 🤩 The 3rd of December is all yours!

Yes, please do send me those pics! 🚲

[Helen427]

To those who have yet to put forth your name to Month of Celebration 2022 please do, it's a fun experience to partake in and share your stories.

It would be great to see some of you new faces here in CC partake, note December is fast rolling around.
