Welcome to all those joining this month! :)
@lovelyWhisper66 thanks for reaching out to others.
Joined last month, but it still feels new.. So hello. Hopefully, I will figure out how to access the 50+ chat. I think I need another listening session? But, not sure. Thanks
@optimisticRaspberries5247, Hi Rasp! Go to the 50plus Community and click on Resources. The first thing listed is the calendar for the 50plus discussions. Here is the link, https://www.7cups.com/forum/50OverCommunity_193/TeamToolsandTeamUpdates_1705/50plusDiscussionsScheduleandTopics_207920/.
When it is time for the discussion to start, go to Chat, and click on Group Support Chat. The room will appear only when it is time for the discussion to begin, sometimes a few minutes early.
I hope to see you there. The 50plus discussions are one of my favorite things about 7cups.
@purpleTree4652
You are AMAZING, thank you!! So the same would apply to the Mindfulness chat?
@optimisticRaspberries5247, yes the 50plus mindfulness chat room only appears on the group chat list right when the discussion is about to start or a couple minutes before. :)
@optimisticRaspberries5247 Hi welcome to 50plus. I know that there is a requirement of having chats with 5 different listeners with 30 texts each to get into the rooms. Hope to see you there soon.
@adventurousBranch3786 @purpleTree4562 thank you both for the info.
there are also 2 links that talk about requirements here

Hello!
@supportwithpassion, hi support!
@supportwithpassion Hi welcome to 50plus!
Hello Everyone! I just joined. I'm dealing with lonliness, anxiety, and depression.
@gentleLand5245 Hi nice to meet you and welcome to 50plus!
@gentleLand5245, i'm so sorry to hear what you're experiencing. I am going through the same things so I can relate. You might want to try the sharing circles and the 50plus discussions. They're both good.
@gentleLand5245 welcome to 50+. Hope you find posts or discussions of interest to you.
Hi. I'm also mostly depressed, don't see much sense in waking up every morning although I have to go to work but I just don't look forward to anything but sleeping....
Hi @susanitamn I am sorry to hear you are only feeling like sleeping. Have you considered having a therapist to find out what might be happening there?
Sometimes when I had to go to work I had to have an auto mode of have high protein low carb breakfast, exercise before work, take healthy food breaks mid morning and lunch and afternoon. I had to retreat to the bathroom several times a day to do more exercises to beat the stress.
Hello everyone, my name is DJ and I live in Southern California. I'm new to the message forum, though I did sign up for an account here back in 2017.
I just turned 54 years old this month, and recently watched that movie of the Broadway play, Hamilton. One line from that movie resonated with me, when they sang about how Hamilton was writing like he was running out of time. You know what? That got me into a sobering reflective mood thinking about what it is that I want to do with the rest of my life. Not in a morbid or sad sense of it, but more like a "hmmmm.." is there something really important to me that I want to do, sooner than later, in my life? So that's what is on the back burner of my mind this month.
@djchuang Hi welcome to 50plus. I am 60 and the line "running out of time" resonates with me too.
@djchuang yes when parents start reaching end of life and I see them, I start to think what I want to have in between here and there. Thanks for the ideas.
@soulsings my Dad passed away 9 years ago, and that was a pivotal point of experiencing my mortality, for sure, and that moment prompted me to be more intentional about spending time with my Mom - I live in California and she lives in Maryland. For several years, my work involved travels, so whenever I was on the East Coast, I'd add a stop near DC to visit Mom for a day or two. Now with COVID-19 quarantine everywhere, travels are less.
@djchuang yes when my dad passed I woke up and realized that too much of my energy was wrapped up in trying to get dad to understand me, which he probably could not, and trying to be the offspring he wanted me to be, which I never totally succeeded at, but I did learn a lot from him.
Now I call my mom every day. I am appreciating our time together because I know it will end some day, possibly soon. We never know for sure.
