@amiablePeace77
my husband woke me up with a cup of coffee each morning before I started my day at 7cups and whispered "thank you for changing lives ". It really put a smile on my face and makes feel like I make a difference in life. What a great way to start my day!
@Misty72- oh that is so so sweet. My partner really doesnt understand how much 7 cups helps so many.
@Misty72
I fully agree to you, 7cups is a life changer, it's just nice knowing there is a place to go where you can find and also give support.
@amiablePeace77 Small pleasures.... each day I wake to wonderful fur-babies. Sometimes there is even a dog’s head next to mine on the pillow. 😄 Also, I have 2 great groups at school I’m working with. They make me smile everyday. I’m very grateful for these two small pleasures!!!
@yzzil
Nothing beats fur babies and a dog
@amiablePeace77 Beats a horse’s head any day! Lol
So much beauty around us we only need to pause and feel n notice. Peace... Love... Happiness... Health to the World. ❤️❤️❤️
@RideaRainbow
It's wonderful that you appreciate and recognize the source of the goodness in your life! . Many of usl need to learn to stop and smell the Roses. 
Absolutely slow down and feel n live life...
@RideaRainbow
so true!
I was able to leave work early today.
@Lauren63
Lauren that's great, hope you could enjoy some good me-time.
@amiablePeace77 Let’s share some positive things which happened to you this year
Partner started to come out of depths of depression and making slow recovery.
@soulsings
Soul that's truly good news, hope things will get easier for you now!
My "pandemic puppy" puts a smile on my face every morning. And finally getting the vaccine for myself and my partner feels so hopeful. Also for all my wonderful friends and neighbors- very grateful.
@barncat
I can see it must be a great relief getting the vaccine.
@amiablePeace77, I got a job and volunteer at the Botanic Gardens. I am also moving into my own apartment, and bought a used car. Chloe the cat is still with me, too. She is my angel.
@purpleTree4652 wow that sounds like you are making some good moves.
@purpleTree4652
That's wonderful news purpleTree4652, thanks for sharing with us!

I have learned a lot of wonderful things at church. I have gained more helpful ideas, knowldege, and become even better friends with some people, through technology, during covid this year. I feel that I can look around and find some many positive things that have truly come out of all of this. Yes, lots of death, including my 90 yr old mother to covid, but, still I choose to focus on the positive and look for it.
@Amelia2324
When I read your post I could feel the positivity, thank you for sharing!
So many people lost their lives in the face of covid, sorry that your mom was one of them
@amiablePeace77
Thank you kindly ami for noticing and caring. This means a lot to me. I would like to hear about how things have been for you with covid, if you want to share.
@Amelia2324
Thanks for asking . Barbados is getting through okay in my view. Mostly we are on curfew so that helps.
Ugh losing my mom was the worst. Soo many things that I miss about her and Sure wish she was still with me
Small pleasures...my daughter came with me on a road trip. Just the two of us. Not much talk but it was still nice. She is a teen. Also, I am really appreciative of 7 cups
@intuitiveFriend1097 yes family time together is special. I realized that more later in life.
