The family is the smallest unit of the society. We all have a family we come from. There's no best feeling as being around family members. They joy, the happiness and the comfort we find when around family members can be compared to non. Most times, we hardly have time to all meet as a family due to work and other schedules. Sometimes the only time we get to meet is when there's a special family occasion like weddings or child dedication. It's usually more like a family reunion on such occasions as we get to meet with our cousins, uncles and aunties, nephews and nieces and other family relatives.

When you have dinner with your family, then some feeling comes

For a long while now, I've not had dinner with my family because I've been away from home due to work and I stay alone. The last time I had dinner with my family was during the Christmas period. To be honest, I've really missed this part of my family; having dinner together. Mehn, the feeling is always on another level. My Dad has good old memories of the sweet years past. We reflected on some past events, the current economic challenges faced, the fate of the next generation, the future ahead and the general welfare of the family.

We shared a lot of ideas over the table. It seems having dinner together brings more wisdom and inspiration cos I was amazed how we all brought in ideas for the betterment of the family. I can proudly say that it's the ideas we shared while having dinner that I'm currently using to build myself right now. I'm looking forward to be home again and get the chance to have another dinner with all family members around.

What kind of talk should not be discouraged in the family while doing dinner

A family is a place where everyone should be comfortable to express his/her thoughts and feelings. If an individual can't freely express his/her emotions, then I don't know where else he can.
While having dinner, everyone should be allowed to air out his thoughts. Talks like having a new boyfriend or girlfriend shouldn't be discouraged, talks like career choices shouldn't also be discouraged. It is from such discussion that one gets to be guided on the right path to take. Also, personal hobbies, daily experiences and current events shouldn't be discouraged in the family while having dinner together.

How to spend time with family after having dinner

Another way of strengthening family bonds and creating long-lasting memories is when we spend quality time with our family members. Being away from my family, one thing I've so much missed is our indoor games activity after dinner. We often engaged in mind-boggling games like puzzles and board games. Sometimes, we engage in educative gists and debates. All activities we have after dinner are usually mind engaging that will push you to be a critical thinker. Such games have built both my Intelligent Quotient and Emotional Quotient.

I'm inviting my friends @vickyson @deelyt and @tripple-e to also participate in this contest.
