Sunday's a beautiful day to relax and be with my family. It's a day to go to church, or say a prayer at home privately. Then spend the day watching tv, or listen to music or read a good book. Or just sit around and talk about the events that happened during the week.
I call this familism, and catch up time.....
It's a time to sit down to a family dinner.. To laugh and joke around. Talk about local and world events, but never dwell on politics or religion too long, because as we know this always leads into some heavy discussions, and yelling and screaming at one another, which would defeat the purpose of being together..
Or maybe we'll get into a car and go for a long ride to no where. That's right. NOWHERE.. Who says you have to go to a movie, or to a shopping center, or to a restaurant. Why not enjoy the beautiful scenery of trees, a grass, flowers, mountains, birds and other animals. Take delight in the things that don't cost money.. okay gas does cost money, but if that's all we have to spend, why not, because the other things would cost a lot more....
many times while raising my children, I didn't have money to spend, so as a family, we would go to the local beach, or just buy an ice cream cone and take the dogs for a long walk in the woods. We would have snowball fights, or play games at home... and watch talent shows on tv and guess who would win or not... etc.. those were the best days.... but kids do grow up, and sometimes that's hard to accept, but t does happen, and that's why I enjoyed every single moment that I could with them..
But of course we weren't the perfect family, who is.. we just made the best of what we had, and hoped for the best outcome..... that's all a parent could hope or wish for...
So for me Sundays' will always be FOREVER YOUNG
