Do you consider Sunday the first or last day of the week? I was always told it was the first day… and apparently, it was originally the first day of the week rather than the last, in a calendar derived from Hellenistic astrology!
Although some people may be working on Sundays, this day is usually the time for most of us to rest from work. What makes Sundays great is that you can actually do a lot of things like going to church, strolling with the family, day out with friends, or perhaps go shopping.
Of course you may not want to go outside! You may choose to stay in – do some yoga, or meditation, even watch a movie, or just sit down and enjoy reading the papers, magazine or good book! I have known some friends catch up with their housework!!!
However, you choose to spend your Sunday, I wish you a great day and a good start to the new week.
