Happy Thanksgiving to those in the United States. In the spirit of being thankful, I thought I would start a chain of “BYC User Thanks”.
If you’ve been thankful for someone on the site, mention it here. I’ll start. With @aart. I have a feeling she is going to feel a little uncomfortable being called out.... but .... sometimes that’s half the fun.
There isn’t another BYC member that has made me think as much or grow as much as a chicken keeper.
You’re so articulate and succinct and no nonsense yet compassionate and caring. I just wanted you to know that I appreciate it so much.
I’ve realized I can respect my animals and also that I can still celebrate the spirituality of the world around me, without entering into this dangerous territory of projecting things onto them. It doesn’t meant I cannot love them and appreciate what they bring to me, and In a way, it makes me feel a deeper connection. All of this personal growth comes directly from @aart’s comments through the years about anthropomorphism.
whenever I’m doing BYC research and I stumble upon an older post with an @aart comment I always feel like it was put there for me at that moment.
so, THANK YOU AART! You’re very much appreciated, every day.
Who wants to go next???
