Sunday Seven - 52nd Edition

Happy Mother's Day

As we welcome a beautiful Mother's Day weekend, we invite you to end this week and begin the next by --

Telling 7 memories of your mother;
Telling 7 qualities you admire about your mother;
Listing 7 reasons you are glad to BE a mother; or
Making 7 ways in which you plan to be a better mother than you have been in the past.


If you are not in the Mother's Day frame of mind, you can, as usual --

Reflect on things you're grateful for or seven meaningful events from the past week;
Anticipate (and allow us to anticipate vicariously) upcoming events on your horizon;
Celebrate steps of progress you've make toward a goal;
Recognize acts of kindness you have observed or performed;
Request support for the week coming up -- let us know what you're concerned about;
Inspire and enlighten us-- if new understandings have come your way.

We invite you to link with each of us in sharing these joys, concerns, victories, or epiphanies. Let's take our minds away, for a couple of days, from the task of just "making it through the day" and focus on inner growth, self-improvement, new understanding, and thankfulness. As a community, we can each take strength from each other and offer encouragement to others as we get to know each other better.

Take time now for:

  • -Reflecting on seven things you're grateful for or seven meaningful events from the past week;

Let's take our minds away, for a couple of days, from the task of just "making it through the day" and focus on inner growth, self-improvement, new understanding, and thankfulness. As a community, we can each take strength from each other and offer encouragement to others as we get to know each other better.

Sunday Seven - 48th Edition

Because I strongly believe that the expression of gratitude builds more gratitude and leads to a positive life direction, I wouldn't like to see Sunday Seven fall by the wayside. So, in response to Carol's request, I will host Sunday Seven as best I can until her life's pace settles down a bit and she can take back over the reins of this meme.

That said, let the positive sharing begin!


Welcome to the 48th Edition of Sunday Seven!!

As usual, we invite you to link with each of us in sharing our joys, concerns, victories, epiphanies, or whatever else you'd like to share. Our goal is to become a community in which we can take our minds away, for a couple of days, from the task of just "making it through the day" and focus on inner growth, self-improvement, new understanding, and thankfulness. As a community, we can each take strength from each other and offer encouragement to others as we get to know each other better.

When you have posted your Sunday Seven entry, leave a comment here, so that each of us can come by and read what you've had to say. I'll get mine posted when the sun goes down -- it is too absolutely gorgeous outside to sit at the computer right now!

Happy Weekend!

What's with Sunday Seven

Several people have asked me about Sunday Seven. What's going on with it? Why has it been inactive, etc. I work full time, and in addition to that I maintain three other blogs and two other websites. I just don't have time to keep up with Sunday Seven. I LOVE Sunday Seven, and I think it's a wonderful meme. There are only 24 hours in a day, though, and I can't keep it maintained.

So, if you'd like to take it over, let me know. I'd be glad to turn over the "keys" to you.
