Hi lovely people in 50+, hope youre all okay. heart

How much do you let media run your brains by listening to each single piece of bad news, watching every video which pops up automatically when surfing the internet, watching movies which make you feel anxious afterwards and result in restless sleep, reading posts on social media sites and comparing yourself? So here is something, I like to suggest to you.

enlightenedChoose to run your brain by choosing to watch what helps you instead of letting media run it for you with bad news, useless adverts, scary movies.

enlightenedChoose to watch good news too https://www.goodnewsnetwork.org/category/news/,

enlightenedChoose to switch off your devices like laptop, phones etc. and engage in creative activities.

And most of all, choose to love yourself laughheart

@soulsings

Soul, I find working in my garden is the best way to avoid any technical devices like phone, laptop etc. cheeky

Because I love myself and it was my birthday 2 days ago (a bit sad being confined to my home) I noticed that no greeting came from 7 CUPS. I have been a listener for several years and thought that once a year greeting is not such a big request.

So I wrote to the support (whoever they are) no response.

I am now on the 4th letter to them

I wonder, is there anyone even there?

Kind of a creepy feeling.

Great day to you all

@endearingLion70 It must have been dissapointing to spend your birthday in isolation. Happy belated birthday to you.

@endearingLion70

Hi there and a belated Happy Birthday and thanks for all the great work you do here. If I would have known, This is a cake just for you laugh

So sorry that you feel noone here cares, hugs, people do, believe me, but with all what is happening rn it might have simply been overlooked or there was a system fault, sorry again. I assume you that when the thread was sent to people if they would like to get a card for x-mas or birthday, you filled in your name so that they know, you're okay with getting greetings because some people actually don't, just asking.

Hope though you had a great day, did you do something special for yourself?

Good Morning all, just want to say that I know change can be scary, but let's try and focus on the positives. We finally have time to have the conversations we haven't had time for, cook and eat a meal with your family. Connect with family and friends across the world. Check in on a friend/neighbour. Read a book, do your nails, sort through the closet....do what gives you joy!

stay safe and be blessed all!
