What's With the Empty Table?

It is the time of year again for resolutions and...refinement.

It may seem strange that I would post a picture of an empty table, but that is actually one of my two New Year's resolutions (the other is to blog more).  I have resolved to have a clear table EVERY day before each meal.  For those of you that do not know me do not realize the magnitude of this.  It is just so easy to put something on the table until you can get to it, my problem is that once it is on the table it may take a while to get to it.  

I knew this was the correct resolution this morning when my 9 year old son, Corwin, pointed out that now there was enough room for all of us to eat at the table together.  The happiness and possibilities that a cleared table brought touched my heart.

We then proceded to have a wonderful lunch together with both boys and I sitting and chatting together.  We had "The Taste of Arby's" for lunch: curly fries (the off brand ones from the grocery store), deli roast beef, and left over Arby's packets from a previous visit (I always get obscene amounts of the sauces to keep in the drawer).  Both boys commented on what a great lunch it was.  Thanks clear table!

For those that noticed the lack of fruit or vegetables on the table, we do have a "fruit table" in the corner that is always stocked with fruit to snack on.

And yes...the table is cleared!
