Instead of meeting at the library, this week's Tea Time was held at Genroku Restaurant located in Richardson. Thanks to the generosity of Ruby and Lily, Abby and I had a great time eating, talking, and simply having fun at the lunch table.
Ruby asked about Sherri who was absent for the previous two Tea Time together. I shared Sherri's two emails and her whereabouts with the three of them. "Sherri missed you." We hope, next time when we meet each other, every member will show up.
Then Lily asked about Fiona's current status. Again, I had to repeat the sad news about a family currently fighting a difficult battle and Fiona's generous assistance was the reason why she couldn't come to those meetings. Things happen in life. The more positive we become and deal with happenstances, the much stronger we would become. A heavy shoulder would become lighter when load of work is shared. We might not be able to provide material or financial support directly or indirectly, our giving heart would still spill its positive impact on people in need of moral support.
Today's meeting/lunch lasted more than 4 hours; it simply told us how much we enjoyed each other's company. It's a holiday season and it's time to share how much we enjoy living our lives.
Don't forget to prepare your due summary. It doesn't matter how short it would look like. The core and crucial of such demand is for you to keep on reading and build your reading habit. It would take at least 66 days to build and maintain a habit. The request of submitting a summary monthly serves as a positive and rewarding motivation for each member. Sharing is a means for a person to make a commitment. We like to hear what you have learned, how much you have progressed, and what a wonderful life a person can live and share with each other.
Have a happy and wonderful Thanksgiving holiday and weekends.
Look forward to seeing you next Wednesday.
