Nominations for Sunny Quote of the Day quote:
ORIGINAL: sunshinemiss Hello everyone, I would like to thank you all for the kind words I've received during the time I started and maintained the quote of the day. I have enjoyed very much turning a spotlight onto something wonderful that another person has said. All too often, the world gets caught up in disagreements, negativity, and (sometimes) bickering. I really wanted to bring some joy to the boards because CM and the people here have been (and continue to be) such a support to me. When I began the QOTD, I set up a few rules for myself. 1. NOTHING HURTFUL A quote of the day should never be applied to a mean-spirited post. That is, if it was clever and witty but was poking fun at someone even a little bit, it was not eligible for the quote of the day. (Even if it was toward someone I thought could take a joke. Too many things can get misconstrued, I could be wrong, someone could be having a rough day, etc. Just don't do it, sunshine.). 2. THERE'S ENOUGH TO GO AROUND The pie (or 3.14) is big enough for everybody. If someone recently got a QOTD, then despite clever witticisms, I did my best to find someone else to give the QOTD to. I did not always succeed in this, but it was always a goal for this thread. 3. WARM, SUNNY QUOTES The quote of the day is not MY (sunshine's) quote of the day, but it had to be a sunny quote - something that made me smile and feel warm. I know heather has actually made them possessive (sunny's), and I've taken a hands-off approach to this. I handed it over to her at the time, and I left it alone. I felt that it was done out of respect, and I've appreciated that on more than one level. 4. THINGS THAT MAKE YOU STOP The quote of the day never had any rhyme or reason - it just was something that made me think, made me laugh, made me say "good on you" or something like that. I tried to let it just happen. There were days - even weeks - when there were no quotes because nothing did that for me. It is purely subjective, and I make no apologies for my own personal sense of humor or choices. Now back to your thread :)
