i love sundays because they are generally (not always) quite relaxing. for example, this is what i did today:
*slept in, because i was planning to go to genesis (therefore, making church in the morning a no)
*baked some muffins
*finally finished the puzzle i've been working on (and i'm only missing one piece!)
*read the living section of the paper (the only part i read -- i love miss manners :))
*postsecret!!! (one of my favorite parts of sunday)
*watched part of a movie
*hung up my laundry (and realized i'm several hangers short from what i need when all my clothes are clean!) *while watching gilmore girls
*spent some relaxing reading time
*went to genesis/ reunion
*barnes and noble -- bought a book, got some hot chocolate, and sat outside to write while the sun was setting
now, i realize that while that is a relaxing day (for me, at least), it isn't the most exciting day in the history of the world. but i have come to realize that my life is not always (or even a lot of the time) going to be "exciting." and while i love going out with friends, having big plans, going on trips and doing "exciting" things, i'm just as content to do what i did today. every now and then, i get restless for something more than my daily routine, but mostly, i'm ok with being "boring" in the eyes of the world. i have also come to realize that "exciting" (as with beauty) is in the eyes of the beholder. what's exciting for one may not be exciting to another. for example, one of the highlights of my weekend was finally getting to see a friend i haven't seen or talked to in awhile. now, meeting someone at starbucks to talk for a little while may not be exciting to someone else, but i absolutely love going to coffeshops (generally starbucks, because that's all we have around here) and talking with friends. to me, that's a great moment in a day. another example: watching gilmore girls while doing laundry may not make someone else feel good/productive/relaxed/etc., but finally getting my laundry done gives me a sense of accomplishment and gilmore girls will always make me happy -- they're like good friends that will always be there.
so, while my life may not be exciting or anything out of the ordinary on a daily basis, i'm good with it.
