The Importance of a Meal

It seems like just yesterday I was asking if you were ready for the weekend- wow this week has gone by fast!

When was the last time you sat down with one or more people and had a meal? When I was younger before we got involved in everything, the one thing that was usually a given, was a dinner with the family. Hopefully you were lucky enough to have had the same experience. Now that I don't sit down with the family every night to eat, I am able to appreciate how great it was. Those 20 or 3o uninterrupted minutes that we all got to relax,eat a delicious meal prepared right at home, and talk about our day.

If you live at home with your family, or if you are on your own I would like to encourage you to plan a 'family' dinner night. Invite your friends over for a home-cooked meal. Make your children's favorite dish. Turn off your cell phones, take time to sit down, share stories from your day and enjoy a good meal.
