Who really needs Sunday?

            There is the age old question, Sunday you should rest, it is a commandment from way back, people would get stoned to death in some places for “working” on Sunday. 

            I have found whenever I go out on Sunday people are not as pleasant, the clerks are more sharp and the mood is negative.  I have noticed that I don’t get the enjoyment I normally have when shopping during the week so the experience is not very good.

 Next time you go out shopping on Sunday see if you notice a difference in yourself and others, I mean really put yourself out there and observe.  Keep in mind if you are out shopping you are making someone else work on that day so they don’t get to rest.

            I have also realized if I don’t rest on Sunday the rest of the week I am more tired and the week doesn’t go as well.  Take a Sunday and rest, I don’t mean just lay around all day although that might be something you need, and if it is do it.  I am saying don’t mow the lawn or clean the house but relax that day, spend it with your family, reading something uplifting, meditating or go to church.  Maybe you just want to make some plans and look at your life in a different perspective.   Then notice how the rest of your week goes, I think you will be pleasantly surprised how much better you feel and how much more you are able to accomplish.

           Sunday is important for me; I work very hard and need the “break” from my everyday schedule.  Try it for a month, you should notice a difference and accomplish more the rest of the week..
