Sunday is a day of rest.

I've always heard that Sunday is a day of rest and today I took that literally. I put a roast in the oven for dinner, checked facebook and e-mail and spent the rest of my day RESTING. It was wonderful. Why is it that we get so busy being busy and trying to accomplish things that we forget to take time for ourselves? I watched 2 football games and one baseball game and yes, it was by choice. I watched my Indianapolis Colts WIN!! and My Man, Peyton Manning with his new team the Broncos (who used to be my team when I lived in Wyoming). Then I watched the St Louis Cardinals lose their first play-off game. :( I made three necklaces and talked on the phone to my daughter and my sister. What did I accomplish? you ask. Well, I did cook that roast. Other than that not much unless you think there is value in jewelry making. I didn't, clean, work on the yard, decorate for Halloween or get things ready for work. It isn't that I don't like working in the yard or decorating, okay you got me, I DON'T like cleaning, I just needed sometime with no expectations and no busy-ness. And I must say it was wonderful. I will still have to harvest the peppers and tomatoes and cut back the morning glories for fall but not today. I will decorate the porch with spiders and spooky Halloween creatures but that will also have to wait. Tomorrow I will be back at work (No, you don't get Columbus Day off in the Mental Health field!)and that is okay because I will be rested, refreshed and ready to spend time with my clients.

But for the rest of today I plan to continue with my self-indulgent pleasure of doing what I want to do and not what I need to do for just a few more hours.
