Sunday Funday........

I really like Sundays.....it is always an easier day, and takes on a flow that is just what we need......we went to church, and it had been a little bit due to the crazy weekend weather we have had, and our schedules....and when we walked in there was a woman who I have known, and been so grateful to have met from church.....and she said Hi very enthusiastically, and was so happy to see me and I her, and she got up from where she was and wanted to give me a hug....and what a lovely way to start the day:) And church was inspiring and lovely as always....another girl I haven't seen in awhile was there, and I was happy she was and we connected too.....and the sermon was about forgiving, and helping our enemies, or the people who do wrong to us.....a pretty big message to bite off.....but I do believe that.....I don't believe we need that to rob our peace or let people pollute us.....but I do believe we are called to not be bitter and angry and rejoice in the suffering of those that have harmed us......and there are ways to be helpful or kind from afar, or with distance if need be......but it was a powerful thought provoking message indeed....and then the kids and I planned to hit up Child's Park.....but soon discovered the parking lot was gated and I did not want to risk parking in front of the gate.....so we headed to Raymondskill.....and the woods in winter may be one of my favorite times to be in them....the air is so clean and fresh......and it is just beautiful......it was icy....we need to get spikes...... and we had to go up from above.....we couldn't go the lower way......but we made it and got a glimpse.....and it was just gorgeous.....and I love that my kids love it as much as I do....they have missed it too amid the arctic freeze......and we frolicked for awhile and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Being stuck in with the arctic temps making it that much sweeter:) We then came home and just chilled out.....I did some laundry....there is always that right lol:) But cozying with them is my favorite....and I did not put too much pressure on myself to do very much of much......the weeks at work have been intense as of late....so I have been doing my best to utilize the weekends as a time to regroup.......and refresh! I cooked a pork loin and we had some comfort food, and then went to bed kinda early and it was just perfect......the time we spend giving to ourselves is the time that pays off in dividends for sure! Hope you had an amazing Sunday too and are ready for the week ahead too:) Happy Monday:)
