Praise after salat

Couple of things are on my mind this evening God

tonight i am wondering why when in general we pray but we dont allow time to praise afterwards..
sometimes this is making me dislike group prayers...

maybe its me, because the way i see it, it should not matter at all.
if i want to spend an extra 5/10/15 mins after prayer to sit and reflect and praise and magnify then i reckon i should...

if others dont want to do do then good for them.

but when you are with a group of people, then it may start to feel as if you are holding people back from what they want to do...

This is a difficult one and i dont know the answer to this...

its not always that i sit and praise after prayer, but thete are some times, given the day that my spirit is calling me to do it and i want to but i am conscious that other people are waiting on me bla bla bla....

so how do i reconcile this...????

you know what i miss, that joint praise and exaltation of God, when incongregation as children we used to go, Subhannallahi, wa -al-hamdullilahi, wa la illaha illalahu... and for me i will add Wallahu hamdu fil akhirat, wa huwal akeem -ul-Kabiir.

or siting in congregation to Fa ta a'la llahu mulku -ul -haqqu, and we reply, la illaha illa huwa(anta) rabb -il-arshi - il azeem.

One day dear Lord, me and my family, that is how we will praise thee, after prayer.
one family devoted to thee, committed to thee, praising thee, glorifying thee, as one unit, worshiping thee, with your help and your support, your guidance and direction..
gw one day....
