I Love Sundays!

I absolutely love Sundays! I like the general laziness that comes with Sunday. I get up later then usual and the first thing I do is make a twelve cup pot of coffee and I put a pinch of cinnamon in the grounds to make it special. You can taste the slight cinnamon in every delicious cup. While I'm doing this I thank God for all my many, many blessings including being able to enjoy a great cup of coffee! It's the little things that really mean the most in life if you think about it.

Next, out the front door to retrieve the newspaper. My paper is always by my screen door. I have a GREAT carrier. I never have to search for it.

I fill my coffee mug with the delicious steaming liquid and retire to the living room to my recliner and start to take the paper apart by sections. When I have the paper in the order I want to read it on my lap, Molly, my tortoiseshell female cat, hops on top of the sections of paper and plops her butt down for the Sunday morning ritual.

Every time I read a different section I have to lift her butt slightly and pull that section out. She blinks at me lovingly while she's purring. This is quality time for her and I. When I get to the coupons and I start cutting them out, she swats at the scraps and I tease her with them. She'll continue to swat until she's bored and then she hops down. By that time, I'm ready for a refill.

I don't turn turn the television on until Sunday evening. I like the peace and quiet that Sundays bring. I like meditating on good things and reflecting on life. It's my time with God. He and I have the Sunday ritual just as Molly and I have one.

Excuse me, I think there's one more cup of coffee left ................
