WINE, CHEESE AND POETRY

Lets enjoy an evening of fine wine, fantastic cheeses and fun poetry discussion. If you have a favorite bottle of wine that you would love to share with the group, please bring it along. For you non-drinkers sparkling cider is fine. The book up for discussion is entitled 'Life Poetry' which is a compilation of short poems that express many aspects of life, love, trial and spiritual growth. Here is an example: Change A change is coming, great things are in store Pay attention, things wonÂÂ't be as they were before Follow the new path even though nothing looks the same Welcome, appreciate and willingly accept the change Go in a new direction, step out of your comfort zone At first it may seem difficult because things are new and unknown If you keep doing things the same old way, the same old results will come Start walking, talking and moving to the beat of a different drum Readjust the way you react to the small things first Did the things someone do, caused you to fuss, fume and curse Respond instead by being understanding, gentle and kind A change in that personÂÂ's behavior is what you soon will find You can change the world, one person at a time But you have to start with yourself, while seeking help from the Divine When you forgive instead of judge, love instead of reacting in fear All of the obstacles, pain and heartache will no longer be there When you take inventory of your life, it may seem that you donÂÂ't have enough But when you shift your perception to gratitude, youÂÂ'll see the surplus You may have a hard time accepting that change must first come from within Great things are in store, the change within you is where it all begins The book is available online at:http://www.filedby.com/author/denise_m_mccollin/3334336/ Lets get together and have a good time!
