Food Is Not the Main Event

One thing I’m being reminded of on vacation this week is that food is not the main event — people are.
Tony and I met our sons and their families at a park yesterday and later went out to eat together. We’re meeting more friends and family for meals this week too, but the focus is staying on the relationships, conversations, laughter, and time together — not the food.
Pictured here are a few of our grandkids playing kickball while waiting for the next player to come up and kick the ball.
Yes, we need to eat.
But we do not need to overeat.
We’ve also been enjoying other things besides restaurants:
❤️ Attending church while on vacation
❤️ Spending time with family
❤️ Relaxing at the hotel pool
❤️ Making memories together
Sometimes we unintentionally build an entire vacation around food. But there is so much more to enjoy in life than constantly thinking about what we’re going to eat next.
Basically, the point is… freedom grows when food stops being the center of everything.
