Sabbath

I’m developing a pattern. It involves not forcing work on Sundays.

Now, there is the regular work of getting kids ready for the day, out the door, and off to church in the morning. Washing dishes, tidying what was used, and feeding people, too. But those happen every day.

What I’ve noticed is that writing feels like work, but only on Sundays. Coming up with a topic, writing, editing, and posting is not designed for a sabbath. So I will take Sundays off from writing without apology.

Let me be clear: Sabbath does not give in to Sunday-scaries. Having rest does not mean forcing anxiety out of the way until it hits you full-force at sunset.
