A Promise to Myself

I am a bit of a nostalgic person at heart. I seem to long for a bygone era that had more community and was a little less clean-cut. I don't even know if this time ever existed, but I long for it nonetheless. So, I am making a promise to myself to keep a bit of this era in my life: I am going to set an extra plate at my dinner table for an uninvited guest. I don't think that someone will come exactly, but I think it is symbolic that my house is always open to guests.
