Calming effect

The family of a friend of mine is not in speaking terms right now. Actually, my friend is speaking with everyone but her siblings are not speaking to each other. Because she wants some peace in her family, she is trying to get everyone together so they could talk things out. It was already two months since the fight broke out. And do you know that it was because her siblings kids fought over a toy? Siblings took sides and a petty quarrel erupted into world war. In their ancestral house, that is.

So my friend will be preparing a Thanksgiving dinner for the whole family. She is hoping to patch things up in time for the holidays. To make sure that there will be something neutral to talk about at the dinner table, she is putting a lovely flower centerpiece. She got the idea of the centerpieces from a boss who made use of it when several expats visited her at home. What was supposed to be an awkward lunch, the centerpiece paved the way for the ice to break. My friend is hoping for the same effect. And I fervently hope it will work. Somehow.

Flowers have a calming effect on almost everyone I know. I do believe it will have the same effect on them. I know somehow it will all be okay. These siblings love each other. Maybe pride just got in the way. Hopefully, the spirit of Thanksgiving will change that.
