It's so nice to be remembered on our birthday and receive messages from friends. I know it means a lot to me.
People who are celebrating birthdays are named on the righthand side of the main page.
Some people with fibromyalgia are bedridden and some have no support outside of this website so it is very important that they be remembered on their birthdays. For some the only birthday wishes they receive are those that are sent by our members.
Please send some birthday wishes to these people. For awhile we had several people who sent greetings, but not anymore. I seem to be the only one and that is sad. I urge you to set aside some time each day to send them birthday greetings.
Dottie is great about sending the birthday wishes also. I have heard from some of the members who have not posted but come on the site to read and they do so appreiciate the good wishes. I must admit I have become lazy over the last month and have gotten behind I will do better.
Yes Dottie, I noticed just now as I was posting birthday greetings that you had also sent greetings. That's great.
Purplebutterfly, you have not become lazy at all. As moderators we have lots to do every day. While it would be nice to send birthday greetings every day, I am appealing to some members who are not moderators. We have a large membership( almost 2700) so surely there are some of them who could manage one job each day. That could be considered by them as their job.
I do try to post birthday wishes to each person everyday, but I can only manage to post something in clip art. I know at times I'm rather late in the day and I'm working on either doing them before I sleep or as soon as I wake up. I do look on this as a way of doing service for the group. I look forward each day to doing it. It has made me feel useful.
Rachel and Purplebutterfly, Thank you for the kind words.

Oh Dottie, thank you for posting the birthday wishes. I know that you do it whenever your health allows you too. True, it is something that cheers the birthday members. I was hoping to get a few of the other many members to also post birthday wishes.
Your good wishes do not go unnoticed.
I hope that we can get some new members to take this on.
That is very good that you use clip art. I have never got to using graphics so I just use words. Both are fine. It's the remembering that is important.
Thank you Dottie for your faithfulness.
