ENGAGE #3


inˈɡāj,enˈɡāj/
verb

  1. occupy, attract, or involve (someone's interest or attention).
            participate or become involved in.



    One thing that I have really enjoyed since we have become a multigenerational family is DINNER TIME.

    ENGAGE

    It is a time almost every night we all sit at the table and have great conversation while we share a meal together. My grandpa (by marriage) was in the military and served in 2 different branches. Being 82, he has so much wisdom. As I listen intently to him, I soak up all there is to learn. 

    It seems the days rush by and we sometimes forget to stop and take the time to engage in the moments. 
    Thankful for these precious moments at dinner time.
