Tonight’s meeting was our
annual Holiday Meeting with Appetizer and Dessert Potluck.
Ramona opened the meeting by introducing new members and guests, followed by the sharing of successes.
The opening video was a portion of Abraham’s “I Am Going To Feel Good Through This”. The video was briefly discussed.
Tracy read Rumi’s “The Guest House” which is reproduced below as requested by so many.

The Guest House
This being human is a
guest house.
Every morning a new
arrival.
A joy, a depression, a
meanness,
some momentary
awareness comes
As an unexpected
visitor.
Welcome and entertain
them all!
Even if they're a
crowd of sorrows,
who violently sweep
your house
empty of its
furniture,
still treat each guest
honorably.
He may be clearing you
out
for some new delight.
The dark thought, the
shame, the malice,
meet them at the door
laughing,
and invite them in.
Be grateful for
whoever comes,
because each has been
sent
as a guide from beyond.
After the poem, we played our annual “Get to know one another better” game and enjoyed
the great food.
Our next
meeting will be Tuesday, January 10, 2017.
Happy Holidays to all.
