Happy Thanksgiving!
♡ So far, so good. I love this month. There are so many events to participate in and look forward to, both in and out of Cups.
♡ I'm baking cookies this weekend and working on a creative work project outside of Cups. 🍪
♡ I've too many things to be thankful for....everything seems to be falling into place, as I've been working very hard on many things at once for a long time, and I can see that things are going really well lately.😊
♡ I guess I'm going to keep doing what I'm doing, because with what I'm currently doing, things are going really well for me.

I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving!
October can be something of a month where there are lots of fun activities and events, each year I find "Halloween" seems to become more and more of a month long celebration, perhaps the fall weather makes it seem like even nature is getting in on the costume party? Glad to hear there are lots of fun things happening for you this month both on and offline!
Mmmm cookies!!! What kind of cookies will you be baking? I might get started on making my slice and bake cookie doughs for the holiday season - I make them and freeze them in small portions so I can take out about a dozen of a few different varieties to make a fresh plate of cookies to share with guests.
I'm glad things seem to be falling into place, that can be a very comforting feeling! I find it helps me feel like maybe I'm on the right track. I hope things continue to go well and fall into place for you!
Glad you've got a routine that is working for you, keep at it!
Thank you for sharing with us and checking in!
@EmotionsListener 💝Happy Thanksgiving! 💝

So, how has your October been so far?
The change in weather especially humidity, it feels damper lol and the leaves changing colors really looks beautiful,
What plans do you have for the coming week, working on any creative crafts?
Some more painting and knitting my beanie hat lol
Can you think of one thing you are thankful for?
I can think of zillions, but family for me is very important, whether that is my offsite family or my on-site 7 Cups family!
Thank-you to you all ❤️

@MistyMagic
Thank you!
Sounds like quintessential fall is in full swing for you! I know each time I go for a walk I catch myself wanting to pick up more and more leaves to bring home for art projects! So far I've resisted all but 4 leaves.
Knitting a beanie hat sounds fun, what colour(s) will it be? Also yay for more painting, hopefully we'll get to see more in your hobby journal soon! 😁
Family, be it biological, found or chosen can indeed be something to be thankful for!
@EmotionsListener
Happy Thanksgiving Emotions! I hope you had a nice day 😸
So, how has your October been so far?
So far, tricky and nice (seems like a trick or treat theme for me 🎃) I've had some nice days with my friend and some really difficult days too. But on the flip side - I have some good support to help navigate the tricky parts.
What plans do you have for the coming week, working on any creative crafts?
I've been too overwhelmed to make any plans so I may just be resting this week, which is needed. I am thinking about starting drafts on those cat posts though 🐈⬛
Can you think of one thing you are thankful for?
My therapist, extremely grateful for her, especially this week. Also, I'm always grateful for cats 😉
And as it's World Mental Health Day…What is one thing you need, or can do, to improve and/or maintain your mental health?
Practice compassion for myself...and finish the homework I have for therapy lol
I hope everyone was kind to themselves this mental health day, and sought support where needed <3
@SleepyShyCat
Thank you! It's turning out to be a nice week so far for me.
Sounds like you are already trick or treating indeed. Hopefully more treats than tricks, but I'm glad you have good support to help you when things get tricky. Balance can be hard to find, but it sounds like you are working hard to claim some for yourself!
Resting sounds like a good plan, though I understand about the writing up new threads, but I try to do that when I'm in the right frame of mind/mood which seems to make them come together faster.
Your therapist, and cats (so furry therapists?) are wonderful things to be thankful for. I'm glad you have your therapist to help you when things get a bit too tricky.
Self compassion is a great thing to practice! Oh yes and the wonderful fun of therapy homework, I usually gave that to myself when I was in therapy... 🤣
Thank you for your kind words, and for checking in! I too hope those who needed support were able to reach out, ask for and receive it!
@EmotionsListener imdoin pretty good, im thankful for my fiancee, i have to stay busy.
@ambitioushope1234
I'm glad you are doing well, and keeping busy can certainly be a big part of staying on track. As for your fiancée, congratulations, I imagine the planning around that may be part of keeping you busy?
