Sit Long, Talk Much

I grew up with homemade food.  Whether it was a big family gathering, friends and neighbors stopping by, a community get-together,  a church or school event or just dinner at home after a hard days work the centerpiece was always homemade food.  Homemade food brings people together in an incredible way.  A sign that read, "sit long, talk much" hung above our kitchen entrance.  I think as we strive to bring a bit of slow-down into our fast paced lives we can benefit from gathering around a table of food and sitting long and talking much.
