Sundays are my favorite day of the week. To me, they both begin and end the week. What other day can you say you are beginning and ending the week in the same way?
For many years, I used to feel Sunday was “family day” and the kids could not run off and do things with friends and school buddies. I could not commit to some committee meeting or other. All that could be done on Saturday, or any other day, but not on Sunday, Sundays were for sleeping in and then having the kids crawl into bed with me and talking or watching a show or reading the Sunday paper together.
Now it is still a sacred day. No family around but still special. It is still a time to reflect on the past week and put it to an end and think of goals for the coming week and plan on how to achieve them. I think that’s a pretty special way to spend Sundays. And if sleeping in is a part of it, so be it.
I never get to sleep in, but Sundays are wonderful days all the same.
I never get to sleep in either. Maybe when the kids are bigger.
I always have to work on Sundays … the realtor’s curse. For some reason, it taints the whole day.
Wanda, the trick with kids is to find something appropriate for them to watch on TV or on a DVD and stick it in the player the night before. When they get up, they can push a button and give you just a little more time.
David, can you find another Sunday that works for you? Everyone needs a Sacred Sunday. 🙂
