Kitchen Table

There is just something wonderful about seeing a table in the kitchen.  It's home.  It's inviting.  You want to  sit down and take a sigh of relief.  Not that you need to, no, it's not that, it's just a sign of welcome.  Welcome to my kitchen.  And if there is an offering of a cup of coffee,  cup of tea, ice tea, etc, well then, you have come to the right place.  Even if you didn't have something on your mind once you sit down with that beverage in your hand all of a sudden you are ready to spill your guts.  Well, maybe not your guts but I bet something will pop out of your mouth that you didn't even realize you wanted to talk about and believe me they want to talk about it too.  It's a feeling of companionship, belonging, knowing someone want's to hear what you have to say, maybe even your opinion on some important issue or not so important but they want to know how you feel about it.  That's a good feeling.  That's a feeling you  can't buy that's a feeling that comes from having a close family, close friends and even meeting a new friend.  You know how that is, you just seem to click and you know without a shadow of a doubt you are going to become friends, close friends.  That's what a kitchen table does not to mention the many discussions you have had about life at the table.  The, " I'm so sorry",  "I can''t believe I did that".  Or, I have some exciting news or sadly, I have some very sad news to tell .  Maybe you don't really have any good, bad or ugly news, maybe you just need the closeness of another human.  You need to hear laughter, see smiles and feel that  life is good and only going to get better.  Well, my friend this is it.  Get yourself a kitchen table and  invite people in for a cup of coffee and piece of cake and just see how you have opened up the flood gates of friendship and kinship.   Tootles
