Focus On What's Important

---

Those DC daughters of mine…

Decided to have a little pre-Thanksgiving feast…spend a day in the kitchen…cook up all their favorite holiday foods…

Send pics!..came the request of their mother…she living vicariously from afar…enjoying those texts detailing the menu…

Chicken…stuffing…mashed potatoes and gravy…Mac and Cheese…cranberry jelly…homemade mini pies created by that youngest chef of hers…

Pumpkin bread…green bean casserole…all those favorites from Thanksgivings passed…

Touched base early that morning for updates on the prep…and then…the phone went silent…for hours…and hours…

Until almost bedtime…those feast photos coming through…an homage to days gone by…to family…to love…

And so it is…in life…get swept away in the fun…the joy of being together…take this time…this very special time to unplug…be present…and focus on what’s important…

Each other…
​
And those daughters of mine…agree…
