30 Days of Thanks – 9
Today I am glad for my clubs! Book club, garden club, and my knitting group. Each of these fills different spots in my heart and soul and leaves me happy and content after we meet. My book club has been going on since 1994, and I am proud to be one of two remaining original members. Our members have slowly changed over time, and we have built some deep and wonderful friendships. The only requirement is that members live in this neighborhood. It’s understood what kind of member we need, so when openings happen, someone usually has a new member to throw into the mix. There are 15-20 members at any given time. We always meet at 11am on a Monday, and we chat about everything that has happened over the last month, before getting to the book discussion which lasts about 45 minutes. The hostess serves lunch and we continue to talk. Today is Book Club day, and it will be the highlight of my Monday. I love this quirky mixture of talented and brilliant women who are my neighbors.
My garden club is also a fun mixture of people from across the city. We are composed of lots of master gardeners and lots of wannabe’s. This is always a Saturday morning during the month, and consists of breakfast, chatting, and then a tour of the hostesses’ garden. (food and talk – see the pattern?) So goes the knitting group: food, talk, knitting. I hope you have great, fun groups to enrich your life, too!
