Is it really so bad to return to things that worked well?
- Like taking Sunday OFF of work, running errands, and shopping?
- Like eating with the family for a nice easy going Sunday dinner or a special dinner with extended family on a week night?
- Consuming less so that one spouse can stay at home and not work?
Since when did eating wholesome foods give way to drive thru’s?
- Well was it when both parents began working?
- Is it when all the sports and school activities ran into family time?
- Was it when it is as cheap to eat out as to buy and make dinner?
- Was it when food no longer was for just fueling our body and time to be sociable with family and friends?
I can’t remember what I wanted to say.
- The television has taken over family time and now we forget to communicate “What is happening this week?”
- Sports are more important on TV than having friends over for coffee or a drink.
- When the car radio is on all the time, we never seem to talk about the important things we’d like to do or the places we’d like to travel.
So I am here to help you think about family times and how important they can be to the development of the whole family. I think too, that although we can’t always be together, we can reconnect even doing chores together. Washing the decks, sweeping the sidewalks, cleaning the garage, or whatever. Put on a pot of soup and gather the troops. Assign a job to each person or create teams and use a cupcake as a prize. Whatever it takes, just do it and have fun!
