Cheri's Connection Corner - What Do You Value?
We are all definitely all imperfect! It is human nature to make misjudgment's and often get overwhelmed and caught up in our own minds on things that distress us in our daily lives when it isn't going our way. We sometimes over scrutinize it and over think it too. Then more often than not we feel our lives are unfulfilling at times. Sometimes we are numb to the stress and tension in our lives. By doing so it may distract us from what matters most. ❤️
Stop for a moment and pick three things that are really important to you. It need not cost money but these things or experiences or people or habits are very valuable to you because they give your life JOY and explain why these are important to you.

A sense of humour. Especially when you are in a good place. Make the most of it.
Trust. Nice to have at least one person you can share anything with and trust them.
Compassion. For others and yourself. I know I'm too hard on myself, but I'm getting there.
Fantastic list! 😎
Yes we are all too hard on ourselves definitely. The three you choose are the things that bring us JOY and peace of mind and connection.
Thank you for sharing! 💕💕💕💕🙌🙌🙌🙌😎😎😎😎
I completely agree 👍
@SunShineAlwaysGrateful
I did this exercise with my therapist and I have found that I have no specific values. Everything seems of the same importance. Or to be more accurate little importance.
It can definitely happen that nothing pops out as more or less important. When that happens think about how something or someone makes you feel …. That makes your days better.
That is always my go to.
My family and friends are keepers and I treasure them. They make my days better. 💕💕
@SunShineAlwaysGrateful
Spending time with family
Peace in my life
A friendship
Love these family time and friendships are always treasured. 💕💕💕
Peace ☮️ is so valuable for peace of mind heart and soul absolutely 💯 percent.
Great list! 💕💕
I don't have three things, but I have two:
- creativity. Specifically my own. It's the only thing that gives my life meaning or purpose. (I had a Hobby Journal thread until recently...will start a new one when I get to it)
- facing reality. To some extent this is in conflict with the 1st value, but it is paramount if you want to live for the next 24 hours, let alone weeks or years. Seeing the world without bias is impossible, but I try to get as close to perceiving things as they are as possible. The only problem is that doesn't make for hope or optimism, but it's necessary anyway.
Creativity is a fantastic one … hobby journals are fabulous. Love that! Yes continue do the things that bring you JOY. It us always nice to reflect back as well … seeing your growth and where you stated and where you are… 😎😎
The facing reality are the thoughts that we have heads that caused stress and can be overwhelming … I understand that. You are not alone everyone tends to journal the depths of their soul the good and the things you struggle with, however ever consider arguing against the negative thoughts by looking at things from a different perspective??
Sometimes suggesting other possibilities or letting go of expectations helps. Insecurity and negative thoughts are the thief of JOY.
I am sending out good vibes to the universe to you for all good things.
Thank you for sharing. 💕💕
@SunShineAlwaysGrateful I do try to look on the bright side, though probably not often enough. Maybe it is something I should work toward more regularly?...
Personally for me it helps me cope when I struggle. I rather a glass half full then half empty. I DO struggle with it but putting it on my front burner as they say here I try so hard to be positive because being negative only affects me others are unaware and don’t want to deal with negativity .. so it is my super power. 💕💕💕
Everyone copes differently …. Why not give it a go? If you do let me know how it works for you. 😎😎
@SunShineAlwaysGrateful
Humour, pursuit of learning and compassion 😄
Love your fantastic list! 💕
Humor is incredible way to get joy in your life. never stop learning keeps our brains better as we age. Compassion and kindness the world 🌎 needs so much more… 💕💕
What Do You Value?
- People who are honest and straight forward
- Plants and animals which make me feel part of nature
- Mindfulness teachings
Love being straight forward ness with zero agendas.
Mindfulness sooo useful for those who have not tried it it is worthy of your time. So useful.
Nature is incredible plants animals and just raw nature … land and sea … is beyond calming just love it. They say being out in nature is good for our mental health. It is a great way to spend time. 💕💕💕💕

"Stop for a moment and pick three things that are really important to you. It need not cost money but these things or experiences or people or habits are very valuable to you because they give your life JOY and explain why these are important to you."
Three things that are important
Respect:
I may not always have the right thing to say, or the right way to say it, or be right in any way. But listen look and see me for who I am.
I may not always agree with the rules and regulations. But there must be a reason they exist. We should honor them.
I find that people who stop at the stop light but the line to stop is behind them urks me. The line to stop is for visual and safety. For the guy making a right turn on red, if you stop on the other side of the line, he wont be able to see! Or the pedestrian whom wants to cross the road, how can he when you block the line.
Pets:
If I don't think of him when he needs to potty, well we all know what will happen.
If I don't think of him when he is hungry, well we also know what will happen.
If I don't think of him, he will always think of me. Just like my Spouse.
Pets think of us when we don't think of them. Pets think of us when we forget about them.
Mine goes a step further, because he is the Prime Minister.
He doesn't come to you, you must go to him (in humour)
He constantly thinks of his figure, so he always leaves a little kibble in his Dish.
He refuses to drink water from his bowl when it is "dirty" but loves licking the rain water on the dirty deck. LOL
He reminds me to stop being so serious
Respect and honor are fantastic pillars in life extend it to get it.
Pets are incredible! The prime minister is legendary and love hearing about him.
The love of pet and a partner is very much altruism. You don’t need to think about yourself because they automatically do that for you.
Great post thank you for sharing. 😎😎😎😎
@SunShineAlwaysGrateful
So true... ❤️
P.S.- And are taken for granted as well... 🙂
🙏🏻☘️
Appreciation for others in your life and for you are absolutely 💯 needed. We all need to wanted, and appreciated.
We all want to valued and have connection in our lives with family and friends.
As I age I have far more appreciation than I did when I was younger … wiser maybe 🤔 lol 🤣🤣🤣
Nevertheless you are correct ✅. 💕💕💕💕💕
