sacred days

When one works from home, taking a day off can be challenging. But over the years, I have come to insist on one day a week that we deem a sacred day, or our family rest day. That means no office work, no "chores", and no extended social commitments. One may chose to spend the day creating in the kitchen or "working" in the garden, and that's ok as long as the decision is voluntary. :-)

Today the rain clouds have gathered overhead and foiled any plans we might have had of spending a pleasant Spring day outdoors. But we are not letting April showers keep us from relaxing and recharging before another busy week. There is plenty of reading and baking and knitting and napping and brunching and planning and pondering and catching up with one another to keep everyone content and grateful for the day.

Hope you are having a GREAT and work-free day, too! :-)
