Gather Loved Ones To The Lost Table
When I was growing up we ate din- ner together as a family every day. By the time I was a mom, family dinners were hit or miss. I worked 12-hour shifts as a registered nurse and got home after my daughter, Jasmine, was in bed.
and I’ve recently reinstated eating at the table, not in front of the TV. We put our cell phones away. We are present and eat joyfully. It’s nice. We look into each oth- er’s eyes and have a real conversation. It’s wonderful.
Looking at most American lives, it ap- pears that the dinner table has been lost. It’s been replaced with hastily chomping on something on the way to volleyball, or some other extracurricular activity. As a nation, we have lost more than the din- ner table, we’ve lost cherished family time spent hearing about each other’s day, and discussing current events. With no table to gather around, our meals are not as appre- ciated or relished. I find this tragic.
I encourage you, as hard as it might be, to gather at least twice a week. Find your lost table, and make mealtime a daily ritual of connection and gratitude. The results will bring rewards that enrich your life and the lives of those you gather with for gener- ations to come. Here is an ‘ono recipe to welcome loved ones back to your lost table.
There are only two of us at home now
