Sundays are Fundays
Sunday
is a holiday, everywhere in the world, excepting for the Islamic countries,
where Friday is a holiday. This drives
home a point that everywhere in the world, people have acknowledged the need
for ONE DAY break, at the end of 6 days
of work.
Take
a look, at what you do on Sundays. Do you catch up on some pending office work?
Are your children busy catching up on their school work? Is your wife busy, with her daily chores? If
yes, then don’t you think you are wasting a precious Sunday?
Sunday is a day of rest & recreation. Nothing more. A day to reward yourself for the good work you have put in throughout the week. A day to recharge your physical, mental and emotional batteries, to face the challenges of the week ahead.
So,
now on, when it is Sunday, get up from your bed and shout out loud, Eureka,
today is a holiday. I am going to enjoy this day to the fullest. Think of
creative ideas to make your Sunday’s interesting. Spend more time in your shower. Pamper yourself. Pack your bags and take your
family on a one day picnic. Have a light heart, with a mood for fun and
laughter. Make it a “no rules day”. Don’t catch your children wrong, and spoil
their day. Don’t talk to them about school, exams, marks so on and so forth.
Let your kids enjoy doing whatever they like to do. Allow them to get dirty in
the garden. Say NO to Computers that has been a week long strain to your
eye. Instead, go watch the latest kid’s
movie in town, with your family. Laugh loud
along with the kids, even if you think the joke was too silly. Play a game of
chess or checkers, with them. Allow them to win and make them feel proud. Lose
a bet and buy them their favourite chocolate. Go to the beach or park. Make sand castles and play with your
children. Take them to a restaurant and
let them choose from the menu. Don’t say
no to ice-cream. Just one day let them know that you are there fully, for them.
The ideas are endless. The Sunday can
create the desired bonding your family needs. So don’t waste your Sundays. Make
sure your Sundays are Fundays.
