The Art of Doing Nothing

Lately I've resolved to make Sunday a true Sabbath. And you know what? It's hard! I made the decision several months ago that from now on I'm not working on Sundays. No writing (even though I love it), no promoting my book (I actually love this too), no research (don't love that!), no laundry or housework (I miss these more that the air I breathe... but I'll survive). I do cook (I mean, come on, we have to eat) and I do make our bed in the morning before church (I hate looking at an unmade bed all day!). But, that's it. Relaxing... sitting around talking with my family... watching a movie... taking a walk... reading a book... visiting on the phone with my mom and sisters. There's an art to "doing nothing" and I think I may be getting the hang of it.

I have to say, the less I do on Sundays, the more I like it.
