Relax

Usually, the weekend is the perfect time to play catch-up on all of the things we did not have time to do during the week. I do not think I can name one person I know that does not use the weekend for that.  In the past month, a challenge has been issued to me, and now I am issuing it to anyone that wants to think about taking it.  Get everything you need to get finished on Saturday.  Don't stress out, just stay focused. Then take Sunday off.  If God rested on Sunday after creating the entire universe, who are we to say our work is more important and we can't take a break! We know we earned it.  If we spend all day on Sunday resting and spending time with ourselves and our families or friends, we can recharge for the next week.  I read a book last summer that said that Americans don't know how to relax, which struck me as pretty comical.  It said something to the effect of turning the TV on and laying down in front of it to zone out does not count as relaxing, but that we must sit and enjoy just sitting, or do whatever we want and just enjoy it.  Or something like that. Spend your whole Sunday gathering up peace and serenity so that you can use it for the remainder of the week to calm down when necessary.  I have only tried this for two Sundays and it has worked pretty well thus far, so I am going to try it again today and see how it works out! Happy Weekend!
