I think this is the question that goes through all bloggers minds when they finally sit down at their computer and go to write something. Either because it is a regular occurrence, or because they figure it has been too long between posts and they really should write a blog because they DO want to be a blogger, they just suck at it so far.
For me, I'm a little of column A, and a little of column B.
For the last couple of weeks I seem to be blogging on a Sunday. And I think that if I leave it for longer than a week, I feel bad for those of you who are regular readers (if there are any out there? Holla if you are!), and I really do want to blog and get my thoughts out there on the interweb.
But I really like Sundays. For a number of reasons actually. I think I will share these with you.
1. A day to catch up
A number of years ago when I was doing my undergrad, one of the pastors at my church encouraged us to give up our Sundays and not doing any work or homework on them. I have chosen (to the best of my abilities) to do things that otherwise get neglected: like washing, blogging, cleaning, etc. So I love Sundays as days to catch up on neglected but important things.
2. A day for friends
And since I choose to take Sundays off from study, it gives me the time and brain space to catch up with friends. For me it is important to set time aside for friends, otherwise I become a recluse who likes to watch too much tv.... Also I know that it takes brain space to engage in other people's lives, so I choose to use it! Sunday's are a great day to catch up with friends!
3. A day to just blob
If I have had a pretty big week (or just a big weekend!) I can just chill on Sunday knowing that I have done enough work in the week. I allow myself to relax. I think it is quite important to allow yourself to do nothing, to take a moment, even go so far as to have a cry or a laugh or a walk or whatever and do it for yourself. For your sanity.I am a big fan of taking time for sanity. Otherwise we would all be crazy! Or, well, more crazy than normal!
So my question to you is:
Do you have a day that you purposefully don't do much? Would you if you could? How do you attempt to keep sane?
