We\u2019ve all heard the term \u201cSouthern Hospitality\u201d but what does that really mean? In my mind, I envision a home-cooked meal sitting around a dining room table. There is genuine conversation and no one is in a hurry to meet their demanding schedule. Traditionally, the South has been known for showing hospitality, but sometimes I wonder if it\u2019s a forgotten art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It seems that no one has dinner parties anymore. Everyone is on the go, and restaurants have taken the place of inviting guests in for a home-cooked meal. It takes time to practice the fine art of hospitality. It is an intentional act of kindness. Often, it\u2019s around the table breaking bread together where the seeds of relationships are watered and the roots begin to grow. It\u2019s where people can freely be themselves without fear of rejection. I\u2019m seeing more and more in my life that friendships take time. Yet, time is not often an abundant resource in today\u2019s microwaveable and disposable society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As I researched the meaning of \u201chospitality\u201d, I found that it means extending a welcome to travelers or offering a home away from home. The word is derived from the Latin word \u201chospes\u201d meaning visitor or stranger. You might guess that the root word for \u201chospitality\u201d is \u201chospital\u201d because, at the heart of hospitality, the host is caring for her guests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019m happy to report that hospitality is alive and well in a certain home in Atlanta, Georgia.\u00a0 My daughter and a few of her friends recently invited a group of ten people to their home in the well-established Garden Hills community in Buckhead.\u00a0 The charming home where they live was built in 1937 in the heart of Atlanta.\u00a0 It is full of character and I can only imagine the history the walls of this house have seen over the past 85 or so years, and what they would say if walls could talk!\u00a0 85 years of true Southern living\u2026. 85 years of laughter, tears, wondering, thinking, coming and going, and just plain old living life!\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
