As the years have progress I've become highly aware of what defines progress (aah the irony of such as word) & frankly what has happened to Sundays?? Target is packed, Home Depot forget about it...retail is a buzz. Now don"t get me wrong. I'm not advocating everyone get their rears to pews, religion is a highly personal choice & organized religion even more so, but lazy Sundays, those I'm wondering where they went.
Reading, crossword puzzles, family dinners: just being together at home, even if doing things separately seem to becoming just as extinct as the family dinner. Don't get me started on that, I mean we now have to have PSA to remind to spend time together....horrible.I'm a bit of a traditionalist when it comes to family & its a damn shame that I'm described as one...traditionalist that is. Its not contemporary??? Okay, okay I'm off topic...
So my challenge for a Sunday or two...turn off the electronics, put away the car keys & just enjoy a Sunday slowly.
By the way..I wrote this on Saturday...I'm on the sofa with the NYT puzzle feeling rather ignorant but challenged & my family is laughing at the woman I am swearing at a folded up newspaper....
Sweet Sundays & all the other that follow.

I think that is a great idea...we do all need to slow down and just spend time with each other...

I agree so much with you!!! It sure is so important to have time to sit down with family and sometimes leave the electronic world out! I love calm Sundays! Hope you had one!

Hmmm me too. Sometimes they are just too busy for my liking xxx
gorgeous images! the problem is I'm lazy everyday except on Sundays! :)
aahhh so true. Any day off is a time to run around like a crazy person. It's time we got back to the term "lazy sunday". I never had dinner without my family growing up though. JUST for the record. Have a great week!

I'm all for lazy sundays! Chilling out with family is possibly the best way to spend the weekend.
Saw your profile on another page. Glad I read your well-written and informative blog. Look forward to following you here. Cheers!
Oh, I agree! So often I have to use Sundays for catching up from the rest of the week, and it's a shame! Thanks for the good ideas and inspiration to slow down. Love your blog, I'm a new follower!
