Sundays are my favorite day of the week
It is the day of rest
the day of reset
It's the one day of the week I allow myself to sleep in
no alarms blaring at 6am
no need to jump out of bed and get ready
instead, a slow morning
filled with coffee, TV, reading and cuddles with the dogs
a day of relaxation
of doing what I please
no burden of "I should do this" "I need to do that"
a day of freedom from the demands of the week
Sunday afternoons consist of nature
A long walk breathing in the scent of Spring
strolling through wooded paths
leaves crunching beneath my feet
No destination, nowhere to really be
just me and the trees
keeping me company as I allow
my brain to wonder
breathing out the stress of the week
giving my mind and body time to reset
Sunday evenings are spent cooking a cozy dinner
No need to involve vegetables
Carbs and comfort food only
to be eaten on the couch
in front of the glow of the TV
wrapped in fuzzy blankets
my furry children curled up by my side
waiting for a crumb to fall
none of us moving from our
ball of snuggles until
it is time to move to bed
slipping asleep
a full Sunday's rest,
a rejuvenating reset
a gracious re-occurring restart
for us all to take advantage.
