Over the next couple weeks, you are bound to entertain and to be entertained. Pay attention. How do good hosts and hostesses make you feel? How do they welcome you to their home and their tables? How do you welcome your guests? What thoughts go through your head as you prepare for their arrival?
Now think about how you welcome yourself home? Or don't you, this time of year? Do you set out lovely tableware for yourself so that eating can be an event? Do you take the extra 20 minutes to prepare something you are really hungry for or do you just eat whatever and then feel unsatisfied when you leave the table?
Yes...I know everyone is busy. But honestly, when are we not?? You can say that this is a crazy season (and I would agree) but realistically, will it get slower in January? February? Once the kids are out of school? If you are like me, you can pretty much bet it won't slow down all that much -- it is just that the activities change and "the season" isn't the only thing people are talking about.
So give some thought to how you can welcome yourself home and welcome yourself to your own table.
