Monday night I had dinner and spent time with my ReImagining friends…
it is always wonderful when we gather… we take turns hosting, some more than others, depending on our current situations… someone looks after the dinner and someone else leads our program… there are lots of hugs, deep sharing, lots of laughter, and often tears…
we had a lovely chilli with all kinds of toppings, salad, ice cream with chocolate sauce; checked in around the table; had a short program, and then we finished reading our book…
we lit candles in celebration of Candlemas and Valentine’s Day…
lit candles…
then we looked over a number of offerings for our next read…
we have moved from programs that were on a variety of topics, and took a fair bit of time to prepare, to simpler gatherings… the important thing is to be together and so recently we have been reading out loud and discussing guided questions… no one has homework, and we get done what we get done… often a simple question will take us off into a wonderful discussion of life… what insights we share…
these women have been part of my life for at least twenty-five years and provide a powerful sense of home when I am with them… after the last week it was very healing to be with them…
really, how blessed am I…
