Thought for the day - Sunday morning

Sometimes, it is nice to have a quiet Sunday morning.  It's been a long week in some ways.  i have been depressed....over the usual stuff.  There's no getting around it and i must just work my way through it as i normally do.  But, this morning was refreshing for me.  i woke up around 6:30.  No one else was up yet.  i, as is my routine, started my coffee and went out on the porch to feed white kitty...she's always waiting for me even though 6:30 is late for her breakfast...and she lets me know that.

i sat at the computer for awhile and checked my mail and did my crossword puzzles...listening to Sunday Morning Baroque and With Heart And Voice on NPR...two of my favorite programs.  i sat on the porch and had more coffee and bonding with white kitty.  i sat and read the Sunday morning paper in the living room.  It was all just very peaceful.  No cars running up and down the street yet.  Squirt was still asleep so he wasn't barking at everything that went by.  i found the whole morning rejuvenating. It's nice to have those kinds of days.

Growing up, Sundays had more ritual and routine than any other day of the week for me.  i think it's because, even with school being out during the summer, my Sunday schedule never really changed.  At home, there was rarely ever television on before church.  We ate breakfast and shared the paper before getting ready for church.  Now, if i had spent the night with Grandmother, i got to watch tv until the last possible moment that i had to get ready for church.  That was our little secret.

Then, the rest of the day was and is just as relaxing.  There's always a nap involved...at least for the adults.  Mom and Dad usually took afternoon naps and now i find myself doing the same thing.  Nothing too long, just a half hour or so of snoozing and i feel refreshed.  Today, i have nothing on my list on purpose.  i will just go with the flow.  Hopefully i will get motivated to do at least one productive thing but if i don't today, i'm ok with that.  It's my day off after all...that's how God planned it.

Cheers!
