Happy World Gratitude Day!
Hi all,
I hope you are all well and healthy where you are in the world today. Thank you for being part of our community as it is members like you that keep 7 Cups and particularly this community the kind and open space it is! Thank you!!
I wanted us to reflect on World Gratitude Day which is today! Please join us in the September challenge to share daily what has made you feel grateful. It could be a moment, a person, an animal or an object; anything goes! Please share why it's made you feel grateful and try to visualise the moment.
I will get us started, I am grateful for being alive. Life has many challenges but it is so beautiful too and the ups and downs are all part of the journey. I am grateful for this because it has brought me so many moments that I am truly grateful for. I am also grateful for the strong leadership and dedication which are seen in particular people as it is inspiring and such a wonderful attitude to see.
Please share and keep sharing until the end of September to celebrate World Gratitude Day!

Thank you Lisa for another thread to remind us of what we have to be grateful for.
1) Finding ways to subdue anger
2) Seeing the goodness in people even if I have to search hard
3) The resiliency of people when faced with challenges.
@soulsings
Thank you! It helped me reflect on a lot of things!
Nice one @soulsings 👌
@soulsings
What wise words soulsings. You are so patient and understanding and truly help people find their resiliency too. Glad you are here with us at 7 Cups :)
I am very thankful for the work that we all have been doing here and everywhere to help people
I also feel thankful for the opportunity all clients are giving themselves to reach out.
For resiliency, although it hasn't been easy and for the support I've gotten throughout life.
@PaolaGiordaniMA glad you found food for thought!

I am so sure the people you encounter at work are truly grateful for you too, Anna. Thank you for being here and being so dedicated too.
I appreciate Lisa Meighan and how well she supports us here at 7 Cups.
I feel seen and heard and this makes a huge difference, and also she solves whatever problem I bring!
I also really appreciate being able to work as a therapist. I didn't find this vocation until late in my life, and here I am!!
I appreciate living in a beautiful home in a beautiful neighbourhood.
@KajsaFutrellRTC I agree that Lisa is the embodyment of support and kindness.
1) Working with Lisa and the other therapists
2) Rain is finally arriving after long drought
3) Fresh steamed brocolli still firm with mayonnaise
@soulsings
Broccoli is the best :) I am a huge lover of it.
Thank you so much for your beautiful words soulsings. I truly appreciate your kindness.
@KajsaFutrellRTC
What beautiful words truly, Kajsa. I am very touched and I love our interactions as you are such a kind, loving and patient person and therapist that has helped many and saved many lives. I am so glad you found counselling as it seems to be a calling for you. ❤️🌻
I feel grateful for being part of a warm peer group in my professional space.
I feel grateful that mental health has come into mainstream conversation in my country.
I feel grateful for being able to do a little something special for my father today.
@SarahGeorgeMA thank you for sharing. Those are great reasons for gratitude.
@SarahGeorgeMA
I am so sure your father is grateful for you and you help create a warm place with your peers by having your attitude.
I am grateful for being a part of this 7cups forum. I am grateful for my job. I am grateful for all the life experiences making me evolve every moment. I am also grateful for the beautiful weather these past couple of days.

And we appreciate you!
What a lovely thread and it is so nice to see 7 Cups therapists let us know what they are grateful for! It helps us to see that we all experience ups and downs but there is so much beauty and wisdom all around us.
I am grateful for the rain today as it has been soothing and cleansing. I also received such a thoughtful email about a late relative of mine and it helped me to see other people remember him as the beautiful person he was. It is touching to see the memory of someone live on and a nice reminder to bring us back to what we are grateful for.
I am also immensely grateful to all of you here at 7 Cups. I didn't expect to read such lovely and kind words but it makes me truly grateful for each of you. I have met so many amazing and wonderful people on 7 Cups that this is truly my little home on the internet and I am glad we all share it together. Keep your lovely grateful posts coming. :)
I am grateful that the earthquakes didn't hurt us.
That the weather is cooling down and for my friends and the laughter!
