Chinese New Year & New Moon

The Year of the Ox 2021 is a holding pattern. Keep 
calm and carry on as best you can in 2021, but hold 
off on major moves if you're able. Essentially, 
preserve your energy and your spirit. Hard work, 
duty, discipline—that’s the ox.  The theme of 2021's 
lunar year will be "build, build, build," following 
through on whatever projects you began in last 
year.

==============================================
Sunday February 14
Valentine's Day
May you be loved and cherished
in this plane and the next

More on Chinese New Year of the Ox

methods and ideas.  it as a time to take care of 
yourself and stay drama-free. Get excited for

will occur, so it is a favorable year for economic 
recovery or consolidation.

hard working. Ox is a builder, making this Ox 
year an ideal time to finish projects, especially 
home improvements. 
Want a big life change? Start making plans now, 
and maintain steady focus towards your goals 
throughout the year. Save sweeping change 
for next year Water Tiger 2022, the time to 
follow your instincts and pounce on new
opportunities.

and this honored bestowing crystallizes everything you 
have worked for!  Congratulations!

Thank you to all who attended and all who were there

The blessings from Spirit extending over all were 
evident. Much gratitude to Christine for officiating and

Long Island’s two longest existing weather-forecasting woodchucks, 
Holtsville Hal and Malverne Mel, did not see their shadow on 
Groundhog Day, meaning spring-like weather will start early, 
according to lore., for Long Islanders!
A newer LI groundhog, Quigley from Quogue, also did not see 
his shadow.
Punxsutawney Phil from Pennsylvania DID see his shadow, so
PA will suffer a longer winter.

CELEBRATION LAST NIGHT!
The rest of you missed a great party!
We sang songs, played word games & tried on Zoom 
filter hats and animal faces.  In other words,
we acted like kids at a birthday party (but no cake)! 

This word game has us stumped!

Thank you Gloria for telling us about the Zoom filters!
Thank you Lindy for taking the first picture above!
Congratulations Camille for winning the game prize!
And thanks as always to Frank for setting up the 
online slides, games, and music!
