Family and Friends

Sometimes things are sweet when you least expect them to be sweet or memorable. Tonight, I sat on the sofa next to my wife, watching Rachel Ray demonstrate how to make a wonderful Thanksgiving meal in only 60 minutes. I don't know exactly what it was, but I felt particularly good about sitting there, listening to Rachel Ray explain how to make a marvelous quick-meal for a special occasion. I'm not into celebrating Thanksgiving or Christmas...I'm not a "believer" who finds deep meaning in those holidays. But tonight, listening to Rachel talk about how to have quick, enjoyable, tasty feast with family and friends, I felt glad to be able to hear her suggestions. Getting together with family and friends is meaningful. It matters. So I'm thinking good things about it tonight.
