Sunday

How is your day going today?

Today, my Sunday, has been restful and peaceful which I feel its been long coming after doing my taxes and working on my online closet plus attending “live shows” of friends and mentors. Also, working on my finances to payoff my vacation to suburbs of NYC. I feel like I’ve been going nonstop for sometime now.

Growing up, my parents considered Saturday a day of rest and Sunday’s were home project day. Usually, Sunday was family project day such as clearing out the woods in front of our home, chopping/splitting wood and other things. Although, I feel fortunate that I got out of staining the wood deck at our home.

Afterwards, depending on my motivation, I would take care of chores and projects on Saturday and leave Sunday to actually rest. During graduate school, I would simultaneously clean my house and work on my weekly paper on Saturday. When I went back to church on Sunday’s, I would clean and do laundry afterwards. Now, it seems that I clean most of the time over the weekend and sometimes after work on Mondays.

This is my reminder for you to take care of yourself so that you feel rested and relaxed. Most of our peer group have grown children who are out of the house and have children of their own so our responsibilities have changed. Some of us are retired and some of us (like myself) work full time with a side hustle of my online closet with my love to write.

Thank you for your time,

Leslie Elizabeth David.
