2026 Week #15 - Weekly Goal Sharing! (Monday 04/06/25 - Sunday 04/12/26)
I welcome anyone to commit to a goal here today.
But importantly, talk about getting it done..... or why it didn't happen yet.
To praise each other for our efforts and wins.
While supporting each other through trials and setbacks.
And to continue trying and not give up.
Remember:
Every Goal should be considered "Worthy".
Never belittle your achievements and be proud of yourself for your daily accomplishments!
Whether they be Complex or Simple.
Getting out of bed is a good day..... Good job I say!
Share your goals today, for support and encouragement.

Do Your Best and Get Your rest.
Things are can be harder than what we first think. That's OK, You can do it. It's normal. Do your best. Be kind to yourself and Be kind to others.
It appears to me 7 cups have sold out to the Corporations to make money.
They say it's to pay for the site.
I believe that is a half a truth, Which is often a great lie.
An easy way out.
I would think that there are non charitable and charitable organizations that could donate to maintain a truly beneficial site.
It is a counterproductive situation because all these social advertisements and manipulations, even the diagrams the charts, the advertisements themselves are extremely stressful and discouraging.
It seems to me 7 cups is throwing gasoline on the bonfire of overwhelmness, confusion and depression.... for a profit.
I could be wrong and some smooth talkers can probably make it sound a OK, but that does not change the fact that these advertisements causes stress and anxiety.
@IsayUncle your fan-base has shrunk significantly. Since a potential way out from my current job isn't viable (less pay and it's the night shift), I guess the goal for the week would be to continue on and not let the people (because it's more them than the job itself) get to me and those who see themselves as in charge are strong-arming all four of us. We just don't see the emails the others get. The one who actually listens (but he came from a different company so maybe that has something to do with it) asked why I didn't go to HR with a complaint. I'm never doing that again. I don't care how bad it gets. I'm not making that trip a second time.
Today, however, I'm hoping to get a few more dollars from my mobile tasks even though I have a lot of names to get through at work. I still need groceries and I'll have to go to the store that's more expensive because it's on the side that I get off the bus in the afternoon but I do need food. Fortunately, I had a few things left in my freezer so I was fine yesterday.
Had almost $40 from doing games and surveys over the weekend. And I was able to get one balance up to $5 yesterday which helped me get a few things at the grocery store. Went a dollar over what I had planned to spend. Wanted to get yogurt but that was over what I had. Fortunately, I had a couple of dollars on another card so I was able to cover the .56. Had the note on my door when I went out this morning which was what I expected and I had an email this morning about my student loans coming due. That's only if I don't get back in and redo the courses I failed and finish the other courses.
However, I am still unsure as to whether I can do that or not. Right now, I suppose I should focus on getting things paid up but that was the purpose of going back to school. I wanted to get the skills I needed to get a better paying (and hopefully less stressful job). I really don't think I can stay where I am for another year. This position is not worth the anxiety and stress I have to endure.
With the changed checking account, I get paid a day early which is nice. I will still have to do a withdrawal from the retirement account for the rent and I still owe a lot of people but I will be able to get food for the dog and some groceries. I did order delivery last night. Spent more for a salad than if I had gone to the store and what else I got was high on the carbohydrates but I only had some frozen chicken and fish at home plus some wilted salad and being so hungry was making it difficult to concentrate so...
I don't have everything taken care of but at least I paid a few things and I will be able to get myself and the dog food.
@Enthenia
Hi Enthenia, It’s already Sunday and your posts have not gone unseen. I have been so overwhelmed with break downs on my equipment and trying to get other jobs lined up that I’m finding little time to relax and converse.
I’m sorry to hear your financial struggles continue to plague you. I guess you’re gonna have to make a decision on what to do with your schooling. I personally wish you would finish it up and suffer through the Hardships and get your schooling done.
Maybe it will help maybe it won’t help but it could be something to say that you completed and you won’t have it hanging over your head. But it just might be too hard to do, and if you can’t afford it financially then you have little choice.
I’m glad you made a little money at the beginning of the week and was able to get some groceries and stuff.
By the way, As far as my reduced tag list goes, I did that on purpose. I wasn’t really sure what to, Because, I didn’t want to keep tagging people that wasn’t really interested in the thread but at the same time I didn’t want people to think I wasn’t interested in them either.
Maybe wrongfully, I decided reduce the tag list to the people that wanted to be on the tag list and twist were the only two that responded, So I left you guys on there. I keep this thread active for people that want to interact on it and it’s been on the site long enough that anyone that wants interact on it knows how to do it and it’s no problem. It doesn’t bother me or hurt my feelings. This thread is here is to help other people where we can.
I think one of the things I feel sad is about this thread, is that it did not turn into a community of interaction between different members. I was hoping it would be self supportive where several people were helping each other out and not just based on me replying to everybody. I knew at some point in time that I want to have the time and by now as many years as this thread has been running, I thought they would have been a common group of people that were goal orientated and willing to interact with new people and each other.
But, But often, we’re struggling so hard within our own world, there’s little time verbally, to support others and take the time to do it. I do keep The thread going because it definitely has its ups and downs, and often it does help others so, that’s the least I can do.
I grew up, mostly not being seen or not being heard And so I try to let people know that it’s OK to post whenever you want. I may not always be able to respond but if you get a heart of support from me, you know I read you, I heard you, And in my heart I wish you the best for that post. You are not alone.
I hope your weekend went well. And I really hope next week starts off good for you. All my best😊
@IsayUncle I remembered to do the <3! Things did not go as well as I'd hoped over the weekend. Was having memory issues on my mobile so most things wouldn't load and it took me nearly the entirety of Saturday to figure out why nothing would load. Then I forgot to do the weekly quiz to be in the running for $4k. By the time I remembered about it, it was too late to enter. That extra bit would have really helped. Maybe this week. Got things at the store that I don't normally get. Seems like there's always something that I've forgotten about that I need to stock up on or has worn out or something like that.
Currently feeling slightly drained. Not sure why. Probably something I failed to eat or did eat and shouldn't have. That gets tiresome--trying to figure out what or what not to eat. But, I can feel drained even without having anything. That happened to me over the weekend. I suppose if I had the money, I could get more extensive tests done and figure out what's wrong but I don't and most likely, I will probably never get ahead in life. Actually I don't know why I thought I'd be capable of anything different.
