Then she realized how very important that family time around the table was, and it revolutionized the way she thought about cooking. I think this is talking about the same thing.

There is, you know, and once we realize it we can be much more content and grateful for everything in our lives. <br /><br />I'm pinning this post so I won't forget it.
