**AND ANY & ALL "NEWBIES" THAT WOULD LIKE TO SHARE WITH US
🌷 This past week was a little wacky but, it all came together in the end... It started off with some news regarding a relative in another state being in an accident and ending up in a hospital. Fortunately for all involved, things worked out. The relative is ok, had surgery and will continue to work on a road of recovery ahead..... My meal planning was up and down, (although hydration, sleep, and workouts/activity remained on target).
🍀 This past week weather continued to be up and down for us.... first mild, then turned colder again with some rain... Was only able to get in outdoor activity one day this week with the furbaby. But I continued on in keeping up with all indoor group fitness classes. Next Week Spring will arrive, and hoping to start incorporating and building up more walking again. I'm also feeling much happier that the time-change has finally arrived, and that the days are longer again with more sunshine!
🌺 This weekend I'm simply hoping for a much "calmer" weekend than last weekend started out to be... Its going to be a pretty chilly day ahead, so just looking forwards to continuing working on getting things done indoors & around the house that didn't get done & completed last weekend. And hopefully a nice cozy Movie Night~
@PoliteOcean thank you
🌷 How are you feeling today?
not very good but it could be worse
🍀 How has the past week been for you?.....What have you worked on for yourself?... What things did you do this week to take care of "You"?!
very difficult I tried to get better in many ways but it didn't work
🌺 This past week many of us Experienced the "Spring-Forward Time Change"~.. How did that go for you?... How do you feel it affected your week or the way you felt?
some sessions are now at a schedule that suits me better so that's good
🍀What were your "Highlights Or Struggles" of the week?...... How were you able to work through your challenges?!
I don't want to mention the struggles any more but I tried many ways to overcome them and it didn't work or only very temporarily. the highlight is when i felt good once for ten minutes and people are kind to me lately
🌺 What would "YOU" Like to talk about, add or share with us this week?! ....WE want to hear from YOU!~
do you have some very very light-hearted netflix or youtube recommendations possible for someone who is not well and is very easily triggered by anything scary or sad? thank you in advance.
@butterlycow
Hey there Butterly~... Sorry to hear that it wasn't the best week for you and that you had some difficulty. Despite the challenges, I think its amazing that you still found yourself "trying" to get better. And thats always a great start!
Thats great for you that you find the "time-change" works better with some sessions. Awesome!
I think its amazing that the despite the struggles of the week, that you were able to "try" to overcome them the best that you could. And that you were able to find the "highlight" of feeling good. No matter how shortlived you feel that it was for you. YOUR effort paid off! And you should feel proud!
As far as recommendations, what types of things do you enjoy? or find enjoyment in? Comedy? Love? Drama?... Perhaps knowing more could help in gathering a small list for you!
We really appreciate hearing from you this week and having you checkin and share with us! Remember that we are here for you! Please continue to keep us updated on how you are continuing to do!
@butterlycow
and
everyone else who likes free movies, concerts, and cool documentaries
Regarding your question:
- "do you have some very very light-hearted netflix
or youtube recommendations possible for someone who is not well and is very easily triggered by anything scary or sad? thank you in advance."
My answer is
try free Tubitv.com:
- I like Tubitv.com nature videos
to relax totally stress free,
like this:
https://tubitv.com/tv-shows/321547/s01-e08-underwater-paradise?start=true - I mute the audio music
so it is more peaceful
or I play my favorite music instead - I liked Tubitv.com nature videos so much that
I made a growth path play list with my favorites here:
https://www.7cups.com/path/exercise/nature-getaway-right-now-virtual-experience-season-1-1654805564/
Only caveat is
there are a few commercials sometimes
for some videos, not all,
but I just mute commercials
and I use the time to get up and stretch
Tubitv.com is really great because
there are lots of really cool:
- Sci-fi movies
- Animation fantasy movies
- Concerts and music videos
- Interesting documentaries
including music documentaries - Cartoons
- Lots more too!
Tubitv.com is free too, Yay!
@PoliteOcean
🌷 How are you feeling today?
Okay.
🍀What were your "Highlights Or Struggles" of the week?...... How were you able to work through your challenges?!
No highlights, only struggles. I don't think I did work through the challenges. Just hung on and kept going as best I could. Hated it mostly. Do appreciate getting some groceries and some important things done but yeah. Things haven't been good enough for a long time. In a serious period of flux.

@Dallady
Hey there Dalla~... Its good to see that your week found you feeling "Okay". I find that to be a positive!
I'm sorry to hear that you found some frustrations in your week. I know that it can be difficult for some being in a new place/environment etc... and around new people. I think its very positive and brave of you to put yourself out there like that in the way of a friend group. I think the idea of it could be a good one and supportive. I'm sorry to hear that your not feeling like you've connected much or enjoying it. If you are finding it to be bothersome (and adding un-wanted pressures), maybe re-evaluating what you want out of it could help? Listing pros/cons. Is it more helpful and beneficial to you, or hindering you in the way you are feeling? Or even perhaps re-evaluating "What" exactly could make it better for you? We should never feel "pressured" in our feelings.
And remember we are here to support you. I thank you for continuing to check-in and share with us, Please don't stop.... And continue to let us know how you are doing and feeling.
@PoliteOcean
Thanks so much. Nice someone else knows about Incubus! They were my first concert...have you ever been to one and if so who was your first? 😊 😊 😊
@Dallady
Hey there again Dalla!
Actually to be honest, Its hard to get to concerts when you're a kid, have no job or money, and need someone to pay for the tickets! lololol...My mom was always saying to me, "girl, you know how much that costs"!? So while I got treated very well to other things, (the BIG things like Concerts usually didn't happen).
So I always get embarrassed to tell people this, but as an "Oldie" (like they say around here at 7cups), my "FIRST/LAST/ & ONLY" Concert was "Vanilla Ice"! 😳😂 .......And the only reason I got to go to that one was because he was in my Hometown performing and a friend's parent bought us tickets to go for his 16th Birthday as he was a huge fan.
I could've gone to so many others since that time of course, but I'm honestly not one for "large, massive crowds" when I can avoid them.
I do hope that you enjoyed YOUR concert as much as I enjoyed the only one I ever went to!

Hello.
Do you like squirrels? 
@vivelespatates
TWINNY!...
Thank you for stopping by to share your photo with us!... So cute! And great to hear from you!
Hi, Ocean,
How are you feeling today? Today is not the best of days. I feel like I can't make it. I feel like I am messing up big time.
🍀What were your "Highlights Or Struggles" of the week?...... How were you able to work through your challenges?! I pushed through it and collapsed at other times.
@purpleTree4652
Hey there Tree~ I'm so sorry to hear that you weren't having the best of days on your check-in. Always remember that we are here for you. And that we are ALL here and found 7cups for a reason, and that you are Never alone!
So sorry to hear about your best friend. I'm sure that has been difficult. I hope that whatever the situation is, that its something that you both can repair in time. As far as Carmax, they can be a little strange. I've heard some odd stories about that place. I do hope that you found someone who can take a look at your vehicle and that things are coming together there for you. But your highlights are great ones in being able to get your library job issue sorted out, AND being able to get things done on time with SSA! Great job there in being able to manage and take care of all that for yourself. And congrats on the move and being able to get the movers to lower you estimate! Thats quite a difference!!.... Way to go! Sounds like ALOT of good positives there! Keep up the great work!
Great job to you on being able to "push through" the difficulties of the week and being able to come out on top of those situations! And thank you for checking in to share and let us know how things are continuing to go for you....... Please continue to let us know how you are doing and how everything is going with the move! I can't wait to hear about it all.
@PoliteOcean I hope it's not too late to post an update for last week. Sunday morning Alan was groaning loudly so I couldn't do my devotional time. Monday my new art history book arrived. Leslie still likes keeping dead flowers on the dining room table. Most of the week I spent running around trying to get my laptop fixed. Nia leaves the door open when it's cold outside and the heater is on. Wednesday Leslie ran out of soap in the bathroom so I couldn't wash my hands when I wanted to. My new medication arrived from my dermatologist. My new poetry book arrived. Thursday I dropped off my laptop at the repairt shop. Delivery for dinner arrived 2 hours early but I waited until the proper time to consume it. I continue to read my art history books. Dennis spends all day in his bedroom so that makes me happy. The women on social media are still aggressive in asking for my pics. I'm so used to 7 cups where people form emotional attachments based upon personality and character. Unfortunately I didn't go for any walks last week.
@Regmo
Hey there Regmo.. Welcome back! (And its never too late to check-in)!.... I wonder what was wrong with Alan? Does he typically do that? I'm sure that must've been difficult for you to concentrate. Thats great for you that you were able to get your Laptop fixed, and got a new book to study. Thats crazy about Nia and Leslie... You'd think Leslie would say something about Nia wasting good heat/electricity....And too bad that you can't have your own little stash of toiletries. Not sure if that is something that you can do (like stocking up with a few dollars from the Dollar Tree/Dollar Store) if you have one nearby? And that way if it happens again with the soap, or anything else like that you need, you will have your own supply. Its always important to be able to wash our hands, but especially in this day and time with so much going on and coming through/out of a pandemic. Thats good that you were able to get your new med from the DERM doc... Hopefully you will find that it helps you. Thats cool that you had the restraint to be able to wait to eat your dinner when you were ready. Hope it was still edible at that time and that you enjoyed it. What did you get!?... Sorry to hear that you weren't able to get your walks in the past week. But I can totally relate to that. It was so cold here (Winter apparently getting its last Hoorah in), that I couldn't get out much either, not even with my fur-baby (and my knees were feeling wonky).... Hopefully that will change for us both sometime during this week. I'm still waiting to see if Spring is here to stay just yet. Winter doesn't want to let go just yet here!.... Yes 7cups is definitely unique in getting to meet, know and connect with others. Fortunately we all have one another for that support. Thank you so much for checking in for the past week. Glad you were able to! Thank you for sharing and letting us know how things are continuing to go.
