Finding Joy In Small Things 🌞

User Profile: MindfulJourney22
MindfulJourney22 June 9th, 2025

 Not all joy has to be loud. Sometimes it’s found in the smallest, quietest corners of your day. 

🌼 The first sip of tea 

🌼 A song that fits your mood 

🌼 A moment of real laughter 

🌼 A deep breath that lands just right These are the reminders that life is still unfolding  gently, beautifully. 

💬 Share one small thing that brought you joy this week. Then, tag 3 friends from 7 Cups who add light to your day  even in little ways. Let them know they’re part of your joy, too. 🌞


 Let’s start a chain of little joys. Because sometimes, that's all it takes to lift someone’s day.

Lately, I’ve been trying to notice the small things the ones that don’t shout but still make life feel lighter.

🌼 A quiet morning without rushing
🌼 The way the sunlight hits my window
🌼 A kind message I didn’t expect

These little joys remind me: presence is powerful.

And I’m especially grateful for these 7 Cups friends who bring tiny sparks of  encouragement and motivation into my day:

@ZenArashi — for your Remarkable supportive and warmth presence in 7cups rooms.
@Avelane — for your humor that lightens the heaviness
@mya000 & @ShadowFaerie —  for being remarkable hosts and being inspiration to many in 7cups.

What a lovely thread about the power of being in the moment to experience the simple yet powerful joys of everyday life! 

A few of the simple joys I have experienced over the past few days:

☕  A perfect cup of morning coffee by the window with the sound of gently falling rain 

🌞 The way that the late afternoon sun makes the whole room have a sort of warm golden glow

🌷 Finding a perfect flower in an unexpected place in the city 

😺 Watching my cat sleep in funny positions (maybe not so funny for a cat). It makes me laugh every. single. time. 

Tagging some (but by no means all) of the people here who have helped make listening and hosting a joyful experience and/or helped me grow in my Cups journey. I appreciate you! @bobCatz @bouncyCandy4246 @CalmRosebud @CandleLight @InsightfulPhoenix @Jenna @Lou73 @MindfulJourney22 @Mya000 @SolitaryBird

✨ For me it's my first sip of coffee in a cute little mug.

✨It's going to be "Armour" by Iniko

✨I usually do deep meditation practices to help regulate my system and gather my thoughts for the day.

✨Three things that brought me joy: I have unearthed the fact that I can maintain respect, but also not agree with someone's decision. My daughter got accepted into Pre-K, and I have an amazing support system that knows I have a big heart.

I am tagging @AnnaSilverberg, @Sunisshiningandsoareyou and @Remina thank you for all that you do!

Dear Mindful,

Thanks for posting this.

I’m grateful for rain-kissed roses, even when they show up sideways on the screen lol.

I’m also grateful for friends here but I don’t want to tag people who don’t like being tagged. Forum world and chat world are sometimes very different places.

I’m grateful for You.

Love and Courage,

@MindfulJourney22 I love that! Joy really comes in those quiet, simple moments. Here are some small things that brought me happiness so far this week:

🍒 Eating raspberries and wild cherries from the garden

🎨 Drawing while listening to music in the sunny weather

🥧 Making and eating a savoury pie earlier!

@jesusredeemedme2425 Yes it absolutely did—it made me really happy! And knowing it made you happy made it even better. Also.... I had no idea jar art was a thing until now—my Pinterest board is suddenly full of them and I am loving it!!. They feel so dreamy… like stardust and little galaxies sealed in glass. So tranquil. I can imagine you felt so much joy while drawing them too <3
