Lazy Sunday's

Recently I have been stuck on thinking about Sunday being the lazy day. It is a day we give our selves the grace to self care, to do nothing, to linger longer, to take our time with everything! Life seems even better on a Sunday. Some of us are up and heading to church, some read the paper and stay in bed, some of us are jogging (why? haha) and some of us are sipping our coffee and lingering on the front porch in our PJ's. Life on a Sunday seems a bit calmer just because it is Sunday. We lay around, we do more together, we make brunch, we do it though at such a pace that it is enjoyable. We take more time to give our family food made with love, not out of obligation to feed them. 

Sunday is the day of rest. The cat in the above photo has the right idea. He or She is enjoying the bed a little bit longer. Cats know how to do life. I imagine this cat waking and then knowing it is a Sunday, rolls over and goes back to sleep. Oh the life of a cat, don't get me started. Seriously though Sunday has us taking deeper breaths, it allows us time for contemplation, soul searching and re-connection to our loved ones.The time clock even seems to click slower, tick...tock...tick...tock. Life is relaxing in the hammock on a Sunday with a lemonade in hand. Sunday comes once a week like a gift. It is ours to open and enjoy ever so slowly.

Monday through Friday we rush through the week at work. Saturdays are soccer games, racing to store after store for toilet paper, clothing, shoes, grabbing a coffee at the drive through. Sunday is magic. It holds us tight and whispers that all is right in the world. It tells us to relax, enjoy, open the house windows and enjoy the jasmine smell coming in. Stare out the window, watch the birds, have that second cup of homemade iced tea,but through it all, do it slowly and with purpose. This is your one life and it is racing past you the other six days a week.

Sunday is your day! It is for you a gift. Take the gift and do what you want with it. You can do anything you want, when you want, and with whom you want. If you want a day alone, then make it so, if you want to gather friends, do it!! If you want to lay about lazily, well enjoy it! Sometimes peace is the greatest gift of all. Enjoy your one life. Like I said it is short, make it sweet!

    Sunday is a busy day for us, seeing people at church and getting involved with grandchildren . It's also restful in a funny sort of way. I enjoy the daqy of celebration. Not really one for cat like resting.

Sunday Stories, Crazy Love Coffee Shop

So Crazy Love Coffee in Roswell Georgia has been on my list for years to visit. This weekend I got to go. I bought my son and myself an iced coffee and giant blueberry muffins. This coffee was smooth. The service fast and friendly.  There was a considerable line; I was not in a line long. The staff hustled to get everyone's orders done. They asked what you wanted and listened. They recommended products based on what their customers were describing. They had books for sale, cards, bags, toys, all sorts of note cards, and cute stationary. This place did not disappoint.  I must have been the 20th person in this long line, but 15 min later, coffee in hand, I was on my way out the door to give my kiddo his coffee. I had an iced coffee and the flavor of the coffee was smooth and sweet and tingled the tastebuds. The atmosphere was relaxed. The light was on point in this big area. See those bags in the photo, I had to fight the urge to get one.  Crazy Love coffee is family oriented, perfec

Sunday Stories: Time Spent Well.

Us At Cathedral Coffee This is the coffee shop   Yesterday was a day well spent. We drove thirty miles to a local church, with a coffee house in it. The coffee tasted so smooth and wonderful dancing on my tongue. I was told about the breakfast biscuits that were almost sold out. We, my husband and I each ordered one. We got the last two biscuits, and they did not disappoint and were only $4 each, so for  $12, we got a great breakfast and coffee. We spent an hour sitting, sipping, eating and chatting. It was a great slow start to what was quickly going to become a busy day. Thank you  Cathedral Coffee  for fueling our day.  Secondly, we hit a local convention. Spend $7 to get in and $7 on things we bought. It was full of artists we love, with jewelry and hand-drawn art. We spent maybe an hour at this convention, which was local, and we walked through it a few times. Since we are not going to Dragoncon this year, this little convention was perfect. Another hour was well spent.  After thi

Third Place on a Sunday

  If you have been following me for a while, you know I am in love with the third-place concept. Don't know what it is? Let me fill you in. You need a home place, a workplace, and a third place within the community where you can go and chat, read, have a beverage, and feel safe. For me that is always a coffee house. A few years ago I went around to some of Georgia's coffee houses and I wrote about them. Always seems to happen in the Summer. Seems the perfect time to travel and see the coffee houses of Georgia.  This summer we start with Labrador Coffee House in Kennesaw Ga. This cute house is turned into a two-story coffee house. The smell of intoxicating coffee welcomes you inside, but have a poochie? No problem, there are bowls of water all over the porch for puppy doggies. They are welcome on the porch, but not in the cafe. Gotta keep that fur out of our food you know. :)  The Labrador is dog friendly. The doggies are welcome everywhere else. The tiny fire hydrant to sniff a
