I like the chat as open chat because it lets us bring up what we're coping with in our lives, and it lets everyone share in offering support. I'm trying to give room for that in the chat as it's now scheduled, but we're all a little stiff in warming up to the format.....I think we're used to the forum for discussion. I really hope for the spontaneity of a chat, though. I love the sense of community I get to feel there, for a whole hour! Or for whatever part of it I can manage--sometimes, in other chats, I can't stay the whole time. It's the same all over...
