Sound Of Sunday...!

I wonder if anyone but me has ever noticed that the days of the week seem to have their own feel to them. I'm talking about a physical feeling that is all encompassing. Besides the feel of the day, the very name of the day seems to impart what the day is all about.

If you don't think that is correct, then just think of what the feeling is that you get from the day Friday. Say the name out loud: Friday! Sounds almost like a sigh of relieve, a release of tensions doesn't it? What about Saturday? Think about this...the name Saturday rolls off the tongue totally different than any other day of the week. Again, say it out loud: Saturday! It sounds a little longer, a little slower. Saturday to me sounds like sitting by the pool, lounging at the patio, doing things just a little slower than the other days of the week.

Now to the best day of them all... Sunday! What a special day this is! Sunday has an almost musical sound to it. Try it: Sunday! It comes out of the mouth almost with the same sound as the beginning of a song. To me Sunday denotes a softer and smoother day, almost like a day of rest which it is. A comforting sound, a friendly sound that really wants you to stop rushing around and take the time to enjoy what is clearly around us.

So many times the blessings we have are overlooked and ignored because of busy schedules, life and job pressures both real and imagined, and manufactured crisis situations by ourselves or others. One of the first things you should do in the morning when you first wake up, is to look around inside and outside at the many blessings that you have and say aloud "Thank You".

Other days of the week have their own sounds and feel as well, but today for the sake of expedience, I have only included the weekend days. Why not conduct your own study of these days and notice the sound and feel that you personally get from each one. I think you'll find it to be an amusing and educational past time...and a great topic of conversation for when you are sharing a cup of coffee with friends.

Speaking of coffee and friends...let's go share a fresh cup, and maybe talk about the sound of Sunday!

Morning - I enjoyed reading your blog this am. Sunday - what a good name.
Awoke to a little cooler temp today - so better get my Sunday duties started !! Devotional, breakfast,etc. Sunday there is less early morning trafic so less noise - yes it is more peaceful. Everyone has slowed down a little.
Many neighbours are starting their moves this weekend - as end of the month is close. Don't envy them that job - but one day I will move too. I will not think about that today. Think about positive programs !!
Have a great Sunday !!

Hey Myrna...thanks for stopping by. Yeah, Sunday has always been a slow down day for me. Even though I am retired now, I still get that special feeling on Sunday.

Thanks for the comments and for dropping in for a cup.

Hey Blondie...thanks for coming by. I noticed you were busy in the CIF today. Glad you enjoyed the post.

Is the grass even dry enough to mow? Since you got some rain, I would think it would, but at least you can use that for an excuse if you decide not to.

See ya...

After enjoying consecutively 3 years of great success, Phen375 has become one of the most well-known and trusted weight-loss supplements available on the market. It has successfully helped tens of thousands of men and women to lose weight safely, without contracting serious side effects or suffering any health risks. Furthermore, there are some customers' reviews saying that Phen375 can help you maintain weight after you have lost the extra pounds. Where to get cheap phentermine pills? Hence considering that we've established that there is absolutely no such thing as Phen375 scam, it would be great to discover why the term -scam' shouldn't be related with the Phen375. To start with, the merchandise is manufactured in a lab which is authorized by the Food and Drug Administration therefore making sure your safety when using the item is a certainty. This is incorrect with lots of other tablets whose use is generally to your own risk. The incredible results that led many to come up to consider the pill as a Phen375 scam is as a result of the supplement releasing synthesized hormones that work toward decreasing the storage of fat in the body whilst enhancing the body's metabolic rate, thus ensuring that the excess fat that would cause you to be labeled as overweight couldn't survive there and therefore you would get that slim shape that you want. phentermine pills look like phentermine 37.5 tablets no rx
