Years ago, when I was living at home......we always sat down at the dinner table together. The television was in another room.
We talked about our day and shared our experiences.

Now, I am living alone, and I read somewhere that it is important to treat yourself well.........you are important.......

Use a placemat and napkin or tablecloth if you have one. Set the table and sit down and eat your meal - enjoy it.

Now I have to admit that lunch takes place over the kitchen sink......a sandwich, yogurt, whatever.......

But I usually try to sit down and enjoy the evening meal even if it might be something frozen that I have prepared in the microwave.
