3 Key Things!

GlenM November 18th, 2019

Please post here 3 key things you have done to help move 7 Cups forward. I will be doing this on a daily basis. Feel free to do it daily, weekly, or monthly. Right now we've got thousands of people doing a lot of work on the site, but we don't have a clear way of being able to support one another. The goal of this thread is to help all of us see all the good work that is going on. Please ask any questions or share thoughts!

I went on a walk with my dog - got some fresh air.

I had a guy come up to my window saying he was hungry while crying. After talking to him for a bit about his depression and anxiety bothering him and about him struggling. I took him to get some food. He refused any money from me but I gave him some anyway. I told him I understand it's hard times right now. Don't worry about it. 😊

Three things - new normal edition:

1. I have sat in the garden with a coffee this morning.

2. The radio is playing and the cat is on my lap.

3. I've managed to book a food delivery, rather than having to visit a supermarket (in the UK, they are quite stressful places right now. I'd guess this is pretty much the case for all of us).

Stay safe.

@kindStrings3073

I feel as if I'm sitting right there with you, right now sharing a cup of coffee!smiley I know these times are hard and we have ebb and flow, bend but not break. I think it's great that you chose the delivery option for groceries. It's wise and it's so much more safe in my humble opinion. I think it's great that you have made decisions. You are enjoying your life, your property, your garden, your music and your pet! It's a hard time for us all, I think you have found the key my friend, you are getting back to basics and enjoying life, you are making the choice to do so! heart Thanks for the post, a great reminder for us all to enjoy the simple things in life!

@SparkyGizmo

Thankfully I am listed as a keyworker here in UK, so get sort of priority delivery, after elderly and those who have long term health issues have selected their slots.

The supermarket is a horrible experience which I'd rather not expose myself to if it can be helped.

1. Spoke to someone I'm not on talking terms with just to make sure they were ok

2. Cooked and baked stuff I am proud of

3. Spoke to my friends after a long time

@CeceBakes16

I too love cooking and baking, but I must say, I for one understand the difference! Baking is much more complicated and much more of a very concise endeavor. I hope to one day get better with my baking skills. I think it was really nice of you to reconnect with others! heart
