after work I headed over to a friend’s for our group that meets more or less monthly… we’ve been meeting since 1998 on a fairly regular basis… we take turns hosting the gathering, providing the food and preparing the program… usually we meet from about five to nine or ten… we had a lovely home-made dinner with chicken and tomatoes, with rice and crescent rolls, followed by a delectable carrot cake made with a healthy flour that tastes just like white flour… sadly I like white flour…

tonight I only stayed for dinner and the check-in portion… our Monday night BS group was going to have everyone in physical attendance so I decided to come home to be part of that group…

we meet at my house at eight for a couple of hours… our friend who is currently living and working out of Saskatchewan was planning to be in town…

in the end she called and we had a short conversation over the phone as things are a bit crazy in her life just now…

it is always wonderful to gather with all of these women… there is deep wisdom and love in both groups, and as we have known each other for so many years, there is always safety which allows us to say whatever needs to be said…

begonia rooting in the kitchen this morning…

not many places you can find that sense of trust… I always feel blessed after spending time with these unique women…
