i love sundays. they are the perfect day to rest, to comtemplate, to nurture and prepare yourself for the week ahead. i don’t go to a traditional church on sundays, but i always ‘observe’ in my way and give thanks. sunday has always felt like a very spiritual day to me. i don’t know why. it could be all in my head. but i don’t care. sundays feel great to me. they feel like a deep sigh after a rushed day. they bring you present. i like to think last week is behind sunday. next week is ahead. sunday, feels out of time. this feels just right. a place to dive in and just be. i love sundays!
so, on sundays i like to make a sunday list. it’s not much different than the other days, which i generally make a list of things i am grateful for first thing in the morning. hey, oprah winfrey does this too! anyway, i guess the only difference about a sunday list is the ritual surrounding it. more than any other day, i am going to take the time to sit down somewhere beautiful and comfortable, likely with a steaming warm cup of tea beside me and likely a sleeping warm cat. i take the time maybe to put on nice music, or light a candle, or sit outside under the sun and trees for it. sunday lists are a great way to take care of yourself. make it a date. every sunday we can romance ourselves just a bit, take our notebook someplace magical and write into it whatever is causing us to ooze joy in that moment. it is very simple, very immediate. and honest. so honor sunday just a bit. and honor yourself always!
here is my sunday list:
