Thursday 4 October Ruminating on Rumi

‘This being human is a guest house…

Every morning a new arrival…

Be grateful for whatever comes,

Because each has been sent as a guide from beyond.’

This is the beginning and end of Rumi’s Guest House. Every morning we have a new arrival of joy or sorrow of pain or pleasure and don’t resist them but welcome them in, and contemplate what message they are giving us. Of course the message is what we decide it is. And as Viktor Frankl suggested in Mans Search for Meaning its our responsibility to find the reasons in our life. I get the sense if you are reading this now you know what it means for you, because the morning ocean visitors know why they do it, and enjoy the message the ocean delivers to their guest house.

This Guest House delivered some birthday joy for Amy:

And A team togetherness:

Even a rare summit between the leaders of the 630 and 7am swims

And the usual suspects waiting for their message from beyond…

I hope your guest house is full of welcome visitors today.

Monthly Dinner – 9th October 2018 – Special Event

The next B&B monthly dinner for the year will be held on Tuesday 9th October at 6.30 pm at Bluewater Restaurant, and will feature a very different format than normal. Our guest on the night will be one of our swimmers, Karen Sander, who is the creator of the radio program Ageing Fearlessly. Karen will host a Parkinson style show where she will interview three guests. The identity of the guests is being kept under wraps and will only be revealed at the dinner. The one thing that she will let you know is the guests fall into the following categories:

A household name
A mystery guest
A Bold and Beautiful Immortal

Please book early for this event as it is sure to be popular. The cost of the dinner is great value at only $25 a head, which includes shared entrees, and a selection of mains to choose from (including a vegetarian option). Glasses of beer or wine and desserts are also available at the special price of only $5 each.
