We moved to our new home about 2 years ago. We are empty nesters with some unused spaces, our formal dining room being one of those spaces. There has only been one time that anyone has eaten at that table. That one time was within three months of move-in.

Our dining room has a serene view of a duck pond, neighbors taking a stroll and the occasional passing car. It has the best view but it was a room we only passed by without any regard.

Last weekend, I went against habit and we ate dinner in our formal dining room. Yes, it was awkward at first but I enjoyed the “people watching”. Dinner had a view and dinner took on new joy.

At times, we disregard that which will make us feel better because we are stuck in our rut of habit. My goal and purpose is to break out of that rut.
