Dear Community:

I thought I would change it up a bit.

I will no longer list the names, to save time on my part.

It takes a while for me to write down all the new names, and then after writing them by hand, I have to then type them, the list is getting so long.

Which is great, I love to see new members, at 7cups.

Plus, I have not be getting the responses, like I had thought.

With that said, on to the welcome.

Welcome new members, who are joining us this week.

We are so glad to have you here.

Welcome! Welcome! Welcome!

I will leave you, with a quote: CHINESE WISDOM
The Way of Perfect Harmony

Books are what the world values as representing Tao. But books are only words, and the valuable part of words is the thought therein contained.

That thought has a certain bias which cannot be conveyed in words, yet the world values words as being the essence of books. But though the world values them, they are not of value; as that sense in which the world values them is not the sense in which they are valuable.-Chuang Tzu, 4th century BCE (1)

@calmMango9611 Aw yes, it can be quite discouraging to invest much effort and not receive enough traction, yet you keep finding ways to bounce back and keep going at it, and that is truly admirable, Calm, keep up the great work, I'm sure people who do stumble upon these warm welcoming threads do appreciate it. ❤

I had to read the quote twice, certainly, the value isn't in the words per say, but the thought underlies and how we perceive it too(?) Brilliant for sure. Thanks for sharing!
