Feast Or Famine And Autumn Has Come Again...

Fall...

~Falling for Fall~

There is just something so inviting about seasonal wreaths!

Decorating for each season is a very easy way to keep your home

Interesting and homey.

I found some beautiful, rich burgundy and gold swirl placemats to use

for my dinner table. I love to use tablecloths and placemats in my kitchen.

And if you use a formal dining area, it is just so beautiful.

The leaves are changing and falling off!

But they do not seem to be the least worried over the change.

When all your children have grown up and have left home,

To start their own families it is what we hoped they would of achieved.

So when you have those special times when the whole family comes together;

It is always what we call a full house ...

We have full beds and makeshift beds on the floor.

We have large quantities of food and goodies.

We are either feast or famine!

Learning to adapt and to overcome all changes is so important!

I know longer spend my time micro managing others...

I have seen over the years we are in these two modes

The Famine is the most common;

Everyone is busy working or unavailable.

They days of families getting together for a family meal often is

not so common any more.

The nucleus family dynamics have changed!

You may even feel lonely, as you miss the family closeness.

The Feast mode comes during holidays

Birthdays

Seasonal get together's

Times of transitions

There are so many things you can do to enjoy each mode;

Set your heart and mind first of all!

Choose to enjoy each mode!

Enjoy the famine time to rest and to enjoy quiet things

Enjoy the feast mode, with all the business and laughter and messes!

But always allow for yourself and your spouse a bit of space!

We need that, but I can say when everyone leaves:

The house is way too quiet!

As Always...
