The Hosting

Normally we have a social life comparable to hermits, but this past week I found myself hosting one event and attending two others.
There is something about creating food, a mood, and an environment for guests that coaches our creativity. For my evening it was the elements of the dinner, having it  mesh into the evening of garden tables and art projects.  As a host I just wanted to focus on welcoming friends to a comfortable place. In the past I may have got caught up in the details, but age has led me to keep it real, and keep it me ...and host too can enjoy the event!

 
As a guest I found myself taking notice of the details that my hosts had created and that created a gratitude and appreciation…. and a realization I should party more!
