Pay it Forward...The Gratitude Thread

[settingsteel]

Its been awhile since I've been thinking about posting something like this, but never have come around to it, so I figured todays as good a day as any, who knows maybe V:inloveli-Day being around the corner and all has me all softened up, or that fact that its been 2+ weeks since I've gotten my gills wet, has had me dipping here more than I care to mention....Annnnnnywaaaaays I wanted to take a moment to thank everyone on the board for being part of the BLUE, the DeeperBlue...it truly amazes me to see such a great bunch of spearo's and speara's all contributing and helping one another...the vast amount of knowledge that we all distribute here each day, the immense karmic energy the flows in our tribe, the tremendous comradeship...amongst strangers on the otherside of the world, strangers that are like brothas, side by side.
Its guys like my Italian friend Spago, The Fox, Podge and lets not forget the gals Island, Bat and so many many more old (Good'ole Bill comes to mind:t) and new that contribute, help, laugh, and participate in ways that make this place righteously chill, ahhh did you think I forgot...nope- Stephan the Papa Smurf is always ever present too, keeping the juice sweet and the vibe thundering!
I can only imagine if the world would take note on the magic that goes on here, how much more, harmony would ensue, across our planet!

Thank you all each one of you for being here...ok carry on:friday

Nicely said! I love it here, 8 years now? Since the beginning I think lol. I have made great friends and met many of them eventually, from all corners of the globe. This is my haven, mi familia, my sanctuary. I feel a great connection to most everyone that is active here, and you are all welcome in my home anytime.

oh... ok... Thank you DB you have been a wealth of knowledge and a great source of comic relief. Thank you to all the mentors who do a wonderful job of teasing and at the same time making us feel all fuzzy in side.

And most of all thank you to our mother ocean (and those cold lakes for you inland boys)

May we always have a shell in our pockets and sand in our shoes!rofl

That soppy enough for you toni?:friday:friday

Well here goes nothing, i have NEVER in my life met such a truely remarkable group of people who are so willing to help out a novice diver.

its nice to have people so open with information rather than keeping it to themselves.

outside of the obvious names there are so many to thank for their opiniions and knowledge.

to see a forum still so strong after so long is a real tribute to all current and passed members and PAPA SMURF for his continues improvements and drive.

personally i want to say thanks to:

- Watts (gotta have an Aussie in there, not to mention alot of advise)
- Efattah (the human freediving encyclopedia)
- Fondueset
- Trux (Freedivining GURU)
- ADR (for all is monofinning destruction)
and so many others.

thankyou all because without you i'd be sitting in front of the TV rather than living a wonderful life under the water.

First I must say that I feel like a bit of an ass. Used to post and now, I get this little message when I log in that I haven't been here in a while. Just want to say,

"Go on Guys and Gals. Make it without me..."

As my time to goof around online is short these days, It is good to see many keeping it going. One day I will return BWAH HA HA

 

[Erik]
