Never underestimate the value of a home cooked meal

I like to think of myself as a grown up.  I can get myself ready in the morning and get myself to work, feed myself, and pay bills.  Yesterday I planned on grabbing a salad at home and then something quick while I was out grocery shopping.  I felt like I had a million thins to do in 3 hours and I had to get all of it done!
As soon as I walked in the door I heard my mother-in-law, "yoo-hoo!"
"What?" I thought to myself.  "Who?  Oh, Roseann!
She had come to our house as a surprise and had a whole home-cooked meal ready for us. Lasagna with veggies and meatballs, salad, wine, the whole nine yards!  It was so delicious.
My point in sharing this story is that in the midst of all of our rushing around and keeping ourselves busy, is that sometimes we forget to nourish ourselves.  Don't get me wrong, I wasn't going to just grab a box of cookies for dinner and call it good, but sitting down and enjoying my family's company is something I find nourishing on a different level. 
I know that not everyone is close to family, but I think we should all have someone; be it a friend or relative or someone you meet at the grocery store, to sit down with and enjoy a meal.  Slow down!  People are interesting, so take the time to open up to others.  I highly recommend it!
