Thought for the day

Today, i am admittedly a bad church goer.  i allowed myself to sleep in today and when i got up, i just decided to have a slow, easy morning.  i think God will understand that.  Lately, Sunday is the only day of the week that i can sleep in.  Monday through Saturday, i'm up by 5:30 a.m.  So, today i treated myself to sleeping in til 7:30.

Now, that may not seem like much, but it definitely is to me.  And, of course, white kitty let me know that her breakfast was late this morning.  Squirt still wasn't ready to get up, so he just got out of bed and went and slept in his basket.  But, it has been a nice morning for me.  i listened to the 2nd half of With Heart and Voice on NPR while i checked my email.  Read the paper.  Worked on laundry.   Did dishes.  Took Squirt out for a few walks.  And now i have the rest of my day ahead of me.

It may not seem like much to some people, but it truly is nice to have one day where i do not have to be anywhere at any certain time or have to get things done.  While i am getting things done, i am doing it at my own pace and that is a glorious luxury!  Now, i do not plan on getting in the habit of not going to church.  i love my church.  Just every now and then a person needs a break.  As we learn in social work, self care is a vital part of life.  So, today's just a day of self care for me!

Now, on to today's other adventures!

Cheers
