Grateful for Kind Co-operative People and Fabulous Fulfilling Healthy Group Activity I Got to Participate in > *Cooking class* :-) with such Stunning Vibrantly Coloured Healthy beautiful food :- ) via /r/gratitude

Was so exhausted last fri from little sleep through the week and only 4 hrs thurs night-woke late and had 10 minutes while body dragging exhausted to find clothes and dress, assemble needed items, brush hair and get to bus stop >>> soooooooo close to thinking I cant pull it off and staying home.

Put it in high gear and somehow pulled it off-managed to get to a group lunch and then we all later went to an educational Mediterranean group Cooking class where we learned to make 3 dishes.

I could not have felt better about our group, majority of people I had never met except for 2 that I knew. Everyone was so so kind, so genuine, so communicative and respectful, so co-operative. We all worked together like a well oiled machine assembly belt, everyone sharing ideas and chirping/chatting/laughing, as if we had all known each other for years. The atmosphere was so very pleasant like I've not experienced much in many experiences. What a rarity…such a good group of just kind courteous people, helpful-offering and open to help or suggestion type of people and such a delight to be with. It was a joy.

And…oh my gosh the food colours were to vibrant. The dishes we assembled, truly were just beautiful and it almost hurt me that I had nothing to take pictures of it with. Everything was so healthy, so fresh, and again the colours were just stunning and striking in the dept and brightness, really beautiful and food for not only the body, but the eyes/sense, and soul.

I felt so grateful for the program, that I had managed to get my bus , that I decided to go, that I had learned of and been able to sign up for it. I was especially grateful for the kindness and respectfulness, helpfulness of ALL the participants and facilitators, for the learning, the meal and for even being given containers to be able to take a meal home.

Really grateful for this Mediterranean Cooking class activity, the meal and over all a beautiful joy filled ( albeit still rather exhausted ), delightful Friday afternoon. Super grateful for everyone there, the energy of the group, being able to go, and the good memories, upliftment to help me re-charge and take me into the weekend.
