Sunday family dinner is great because:
My dad's lo mein is the best
I get my fill of mom news - her version of what's important via newspaper clippings
I laugh a lot
We are surrounded by great childhood memories
I get the lowdown - from one brother - on the best movies out now
I get the lowdown - from the other brother - on the most ridiculous viral videos and/or the best new iphone apps
We hear my dad's latest Facebook strategies
My mom and I look through recipes we have been meaning to make. Our conclusion: you can never have too many apple crisp recipes
I feel completely at home, like no other place
Sunday dinners are important - a chance to come back to home base and check in with the people I love. The people who can look at the expression on my face and understand everything with no words.
I heard recently that you can tell what is important to someone by looking at their calendar (and if you can't, then there's a disconnect and you probably either aren't prioritizing that which is important or you are doing things out of a sense of obligation instead of doing things because they are meaningful to you). Sunday dinners are a fixed item in my schedule. Unmoving, for the most part.
What is so important to you that you do it weekly? Monthly? Daily?
