Family Time

Given that I'm working most Sundays, as are my daughters, our customary Sunday brunches have gone by the wayside. So now we're adapting and going when circumstances permit. Today is such a day.

In part I was motivated by a recent podcast from Heart Mind & Strength that talked about how parents sometimes assume that older children simply "need their space". But, in fact, what Dr. Popcak argued, is that they need family interactions (that everyone enjoys) as venues for opening up and talking with their parents. A possible side effect of parents "pulling back" is depression. And talking to people who love you is a surely good for treating that.

And what do we all enjoy: eating. So much for losing weight after Christmas.
