Coffee row always enjoys Christmas Eve as they get to share their plans for Christmas with their families and enjoy each other鈥檚 company before reconvening in a few days. We may not see or hear these folks in our coffee shops for a couple of days yet, but you can be sure once they do reconvene after their Christmas celebrations the conversation will be upbeat and jovial. And, whether they know it or not, their laughter and conversations are enjoyed by anyone who is witness to them. The coffee row table is welcoming, non-judgmental, theoretical and lively. Something we would all miss if it was not a part of our daily community culture. So you see we keep busy in Unity with activities and wisdom from our friends on coffee row. Until next week.
