Sunday. Exhale.

To me, Sundays are meant for winding down - technically its the beginning of a new week, right?  But to our household its a day meant for being lazy and getting stuff done for the week ahead.  Throughout the week we work, get kids to activities, go through the routine that is our typical week - just to get to the that sacred, blessed weekend.  We rush, rush through the week - trying to get here just to get there and then back to here again.  Its crazy, insane.  Somedays I feel like I am losing my mind - anyone else feel this way too?

So Sunday is the day I choose to exhale.  Take the time to just sit back and relax and appreciate everything that we have.  It's necessary in our lives to release and let go.  Let go of the stresses - is the world really going to end if the lawn doesn't get cut today - nope.   If I don't get to the vacuuming today, will my family love me less - I don't think so.

Don't get me wrong - I do have to remind myself of this when I feel the anxiety and stress kick in.  I calmly tell myself - breathe, exhale.  It can wait for now.  What's more important to me right now at this moment is all I can handle.

Enjoy your Sunday :)  Take time to exhale and enjoy your family and friends.
