Holiday Reflection 2015
Holidays are set apart times. We step out of our normal lives - out of the frenzied pace, demands, and deadlines - and take time to reflect on light, hope, and love. Holidays give us permission to see the world in a different way. During these times, we are encouraged to be thankful, to give to others, and to support those who are vulnerable. The themes of kindness, care, and redemption that are woven into our cultures, surface and become more prominent during these special times.
I find this remarkable. That we, collectively, agree, that at certain times during the year, we are going to be extra kind and giving to one another. From what I can tell, there is no top down holiday planning commission that makes this happen. Instead, this is a natural process that spontaneously emerges during the holiday season.

Merry Christmas to all at 7 cups of tea . I am honoured to be here on this Christmas day with you all.
It's magic indeed! I discover this magic after meeting some awesome people over here! This place is magic and teaches us to discover goodness everywhere 
Sometimes the holidays can be more trying than other days of the year - and yet there is still magic to be found. Happy holidays to everyone and keep making magic!!
It is one day a year where we are supposed to feel peace and love for our fellow earth dwellers.
Why can't we do that for the other 364?
7 Cups of Tea is a place like no other,
It is not your sister, brother or mother.
It provides support world wide
it is like a magical glorious ride.
We listen because we care,
as all humans are unique and rare.
This world can be a lonely place,
but 7 cups of tea is filled with grace.
We try understand your pain,
we are real and don't feign.

Just Magical.. Everything about it 
i don't necessarily believe in forging friendships online anymore but the site is a useful tool for shouting into the void when you're not doing well. also i like how many group chats there are compared to when i first started. if you don't like a chat, you can always switch to something else.
All - thank you very much for sharing your heartfelt perspectives and for celebrating this special season with me - it is indeed magical :)
By really studying mindfulness and connecting with people albeit online, I have become more social, gained more confidence (which was practically nonexistent) and have started feel a sense emotional awareness. I have even started noticing how my body physically reacts to different situations, for example I was moving a chair around in my bedroom and mindfully noticed that yes my heart was pumping, which is to be expected, but never did I expect to notice that my body felt tense and I felt stressed. That has given me something to think about. 🤔
Dear 7 Cups,
You help me to know more about me through helping others.
Thanks a lot.
