@SparklyFly

Thank you so very much. And thank you for your kindness. I only know how to be me in all my messed-up-ness and if it resonates with others then i am glad.

I send much love out to everyone and thank you xxx

Yesterday @chetan1408 was on a roll and the appreciation notes to several peers were posted, but I just wanted to wait until today to do this very special one dedicated to...

@SparkyGizmo

Anyone who knows Sparky knows just how AMAZING of a person they are. Sure, they possess the following qualities:

💜Supportive 💙Respectful 💚Empathetic 💛Resilient ❤️Humble 💜Coachable 💙Inquisitive

But the truth of the matter is Sparky is soooo much more than that. Sparky is as sweet as can be, helpful, intelligent, selfless, and just downright beautiful as can be from within their depths.

As I was making this graphic with the words of Chetan, I could not help but smile. It is so beautiful seeing others see in Gizzie what I see. Just beautiful in every way. Sparky, hold your tears back while you read this sweet note @chetan1408 wrote just for you.

Ok, I was just playing. Do not hold your tears back. Release the water works, my friend. You are so deserving of being appreciated for who you are and how great of a person you are!

@SparkyGizmo You have all the respect and love from me and the backing of our peers. We notice you. We see you for all you are and you are loved! I am so lucky to have had experience first hand how beautiful of a person you are. Thank you for everything you have done, are currently doing, and will be doing!

I know Chetan already hugged you but I just have to get in on this love and hug you too!

So I present you this special certificate just for you... ;)

@YourCaringConfidant

@Chetan1408

Hi Caring! 😊❤️ Thank you so very much my wonderful friend for creating this forum post! It's so very beautiful! You have no idea what this means to me as a human being and indeed, you know me quite well, yup! water works time! ❤️❤️❤️

You know, not only were you kind enough to create this for me, but also spent time here with me and gave me positive affirmations of your own! Thank you seeing the value in me! Thank you for noticing my efforts! Thank you for "seeing" me as well as seeing how much I care and how hard I try for my teammates. It's an amazing feeling for you to chime in and give me your personal seal of approval as well as I care deeply about your opinion of me too. ❤️

Nothing brings me more joy than to know that we *held hands, looked both ways and crossed that road together* and that what I did was impactful! I care about you! ❤️ I appreciate you! ❤️ Thank you for being such an amazing human being and teammate!

*high fives* 😊 and big *hugs* ❤️

Hi Cheetooooo! 😊❤️ Cheeto, I cannot thank you enough my wonderful, sweet friend! For me, this is just Wow! You have no idea what you have done for me as a human being today! ❤️ This is amazing that you took the time out of your busy day to appreciate me! ❤️ I appreciate you too! ❤️

I love what you said to me! It was so very meaningful! Yes, I do "feel you"! I get it! I love how you noticed that I never want to "back off" from helping my teammates! Thank you for seeing how much I truly care about all of us and how much I truly care about you! ❤️😊❤️

You know Cheeto, there is so much wisdom in your words! I just cannot help but to comment on something else that you said. You said "The Gizmo". You really highlighted something that I think of and think of often. That we are all special and unique. That there is only one of each of us in this world. We all have different gifts, talents and skill sets that we bring to the table. All should be valued.

That kindness matters, always.❤️ That it's important to be mindful of how we treat others.

It's good to be extra kind and most careful with one another. We as people should not be seen as disposable commodities as there is only one of each of us. For example...If one were to *break The Gizmo* then another Gizmo cannot be purchased somewhere else, Walmart, Amazon, no where. It doesn't exist. I hold the patent. Sometimes replicated.........never duplicated! 😊❤️

Cheeto, I am so very grateful for you! ❤️ For you and all of your special gifts that you bring to me as well as to everyone else. Thank you for sharing your time, treasures and talents with me as well as the rest of us. I must say, the moment I see you enter the LSR, I feel joy!

*high fives* 😊 and big *hugs* ❤️

Again, thank you Caring and Cheeto! 😊❤️ I have what I call my "gratitude moments" at the end of each day and I promise you both, each of you will be included in them! ❤️❤️❤️

@SparkyGizmo

Aww Gizmo... 😢. After reading your message I can't control my heart to write this down. It was such a heart touching message. Thank you for always being here for me and for everyone. Your words really matters. Can't explain the feeling. But I want to send a big hug. *Hugs* ❤️❤️ ☺️

Tinaaa - I miss seeing you around. You always bring such good vibes everywhere you go. I love love all of our dance parties we've had together and our interactions. I hope you're doing well and wish you all the best in life. 🌻

Chetuuu - You've been doing a great job with the appreciations lately. It really shows what a good friend you are to everybody. Thank you for being here and bringing lots of smiles to our faces and thanks for all the fish! 🌻

Noot noot! You both are awesome, keep on rocking 💛

*flutters around* :P

Hiya @MistyMagic, our super appreciator @amiableBunny4016 saw your magical self fluttering around and wants to send you a reminder for how much you're appreciated. ❤

I (and everyone who ever saw you around) agree with Bunny wholeheartedly, Misty, you're truly such a great presence in the community. I've had the pleasure to work with you in the sub-community team, and it's been an immense honor to see your brilliant work-ethic, and compassion as a leader. Thankyou for being so magical! ❤

Bun Bun Bunnny, you're such a sweet heart for *always* trying your best to make people around you feel super seen, appreciated and loved. As always, my only wish is that, all the kindness you spread around *must* return to you too, wrapped with extra glitter and more love. ❤

@Sunisshiningandsoareyou,

Thank you so much for the *beautiful* post Sun. I love the butterflies and the beatiful text. Thank you for posting this! You is the sweetest Sun!

I have removed my Super Appreciator badge and given to you because you deserve it and you have done so much for 7cups :) Your not allowed to give it back....

Bunny

Another @Chetan1408 appreciation! 😮❤

Hey hey @WhimsicalWhimsy, you are appreciated (againnnnn) and so lovingly!

Forum-0 Sun-01 🤧

Whimsyyyy, you know how much I adore you already. You're the sweetest, human equivalent of care-bear for me haha. Thankyouu for always being so cheerful and lovely in the rooms. We should say it more often: You Rock! ❤

Chetan, I love how you're appreciating the members in your "naughty list", being so kind, considerate and appreciative certainly makes you in the "nice list" however. 😛 Keep it upppp!❤

From one super kind, compassionate, appreciative, and eloquent hooman to another. 💛

Hiya @HealingTalk, we have a generous appreciative note for you by @lyricalAngel70 who appreciates you for *a lot* of things, as described in the following note! 💛

Clarity is One Click Away 😮

Angellll, I love how *honestly* you appreciate people when you actually appreciate them (lol), it is very evident in your messages that you set aside some time and really think of the person you're talking about, recall any "supportive" instances for the qualities you've picked and then beautify it more with your angelic words. The perfect recipe for a good appreciation, if you ask me! XD

I have a mental list of people around here who can be great teachers for "how to appreciate someone so that it *really* resonates and creates an impact on them" and you're one of them also. 💛

Keep being your angelic self. 🤗

Woohoo Marcelo! I loved reading this one for you. The fact that you always take time to let people know how massive their impact is, and how their presence matters, and receiving it back now~ you truly deserve it and more. You're in my "list" too, the one I mentioned above. :P Keep being awesome-sauze, you're a delight to have around! 💛

@lyricalAngel70

Thank you so much, Angel!

I feel very guilty and sorry for the long delay in answering your note.

I appreciate you very very much, and this delay doesn't express my appreciation in the slightest.

I wrote you a poem to express my gratitude for your kind initiative of sending me a note, and my appreciation for you and your exceptional qualities as a person, and as a volunteer here in Cups.

I hope you like it.

Here it goes:

To Lyrical Angel

Oh Lyrical Angel, my heart sings,

For the love and kindness that your note brings,

Your words, a balm to my tired soul,

A gift to my heart did send.

With every word, a warm breeze flowed,

And my spirit soared, like a bird in the glow.

For this, I thank you with all my heart,

And vow that our companionship will never part,
Your appreciation, so pure and true,

Is a source of comfort that I cherish too.

Oh Lyrical Angel, lovely and bright,

Your presence fills my heart with light.

Warm and compassionate, you spread your wings,

And with your kind words, my spirit sings.

Expressive and intelligent, you speak with grace,

Your every word, a beautiful embrace.

Articulate and wise, you share your heart,
Supporting everyone you meet, In their healing path.

Your words flow like honey, so lovely and sweet,

And your soul sings with compassion
for all with support needs.
For in a world where love is rare,
You are a big soul who always cares.

With your voice so articulate, and your mind so sharp,

You light up our world, and chase away the dark,

Your love is like a beacon, shining bright and clear,
Helping people through life's storms, with hope and no fear.

A constant presence, dependable and true,

Always there to lift anyone, when they are blue.

Conscientious and caring, you go the extra mile,
With you by their side, people can smile.

You are a true gem, a rare and precious find,

A constant source of comfort, and peace of mind,

Your kindness and dependability, a rock so steady,
A true angel on earth, a blessing so heady.

Lyrical Angel, you are a gift divine,

A beacon of hope in this world so mean.

With you, this Community is truly blessed,
We all sing to you with love and huge thanks.

So here's to you, Lyrical Angel, my colleague so dear,

May your life be filled with joy, and love sincere,

May your words continue to inspire, and light up our hearts,
And may nobody never

Forget the love you give,
To all of us.

@Sunisshiningandsoareyou
Sun: thank you so much for the time, enthusiasm kindness and effort you devote to this inspiring, motivating and community-bonding initiative!

@HealingTalk

Aww "community-bonding" love this! Safe to say, there's no community without (yo)u and I, so thank*you* as well for being a dear part of it!❤

I absolutely love your poem for Angel, so well written, with the sweetest choice of words, a powerhouse of talent, you are!🥳

@SunisshiningandsoareyouThank you Sun!

The feeling of Community, that we belong and are recognized as human beings (and not just roles) by our peers is therapeutic, motivating, and rewarding for volunteers like you and me, I think.

And this initiative is laser-focused on this mutual recognition and bonding.

I really think these feelings are fundamental for accomplishing the mission of any volunteer organization. At least that's my experience with choirs, small and large volunteer groups. philanthropic initiatives, and Cups' subcommunities.

Thank you, Sun, for the huge, high-quality work you do all around 7 Cups!

@Sunisshiningandsoareyou
