We had a potluck on Saturday. It has become an annual autumn event, and it's fun to have this occasion to mark so many changes we and our family and friends have gone through over the past four years. Last year, there were 8 women pregnant. This year, there were 9 children, 6 of whom were under year old. I'm already looking forward to next year when all those little ones will be running around and having fun with each other.
I like traditions like this to look forward to and I think traditions and rituals are a really special part of our lives. I read an article once about the importance of routines and rituals, especially for kids. Daily, yearly, you name it. Like having a cup of tea on a rainy day. Or popcorn and a movie on Saturday night. Anyone have some to share?
