I wonder how do you spend your Sunday? Do you consider this day just another typical day, or a special day for relaxation and spending time with your friends, your family, or yourself?
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.

All the best Jan
...for me, the week starts with Monday!
ReplyDeleteMost of my life, I considered Sunday as the lst day of the week. Now that I'm back to work full-time, I see Monday as the first day of the work week and week.
ReplyDeletehave always seen Sunday as the first day of the week. back when I was younger and working for the phone co we worked soooo much overtime and never had the same days off or even the same hours each day. to keep my sanity I knew Sunday was the first day of the week.
ReplyDeleteI am old so way back when growing up-Sunday was always family and church day too
I consider Sunday the first day of the week. For us, Sunday always includes church and a day we can just relax without feeling like we should be working on something!
ReplyDeleteBeing in law enforcement, Steve sometimes works Sundays. If he doesn't, we almost always go out for brunch.
ReplyDeleteTen un genial domingo. Te mando un beso.

ReplyDeleteGood question! In the beginning God created . . . and on the Seventh Day {Sunday} He rested. However, as a child I always thought the week began with church on Sunday. It is day two of the weekend, implying the end of the week. So, who knows? One thing I would like to see is continuity of the placement of Sunday on calendars! Jolly irritating when some are printed with Sunday far left, on others it is far right.
Enjoy your Sunday! Yummy biscuits.-Christine cmlk79.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteSunday is the first day of the week. Monday is first day of work week. I do anything on Sunday that I would do any other day of the week. Once upon a time, I went to church Sunday morning and Sunday night.
ReplyDeleteNot being a churchgoer I have always considered Monday the first day of the week.
ReplyDeleteI spent some of mine today in the garden.
I consider Sunday a special day of the week. I usually like Sunday family tables. Have a beautiful dayđ·!
ReplyDeleteTheoretically, Sunday is the first day of the week, but practically, Monday starts the week.
ReplyDeleteThose biscuits look lovely:-)
Week starts on Monday.
ReplyDeleteThanks for all the factoids! Fun reading...
Happy week!
hugs
Donna
The end of the week is Friday, Monday beginning of the week...what happened to Saturday and Sunday - have no idea..lol
ReplyDeleteI don't do much on Sundays sometimes, it can be a family day for me on an odd occasion but that's due to family working on Sundays.
That biscuit looks so yummy. Love your tidbits and look forward to reading them.
ReplyDeleteSo delicious.
ReplyDeleteGreat thoughts , I loved.
ReplyDeleteJan,after a week of hard work, we wait for Sunday to rest, although at the end of that day we get depressed thinking how arduous the week ahead will be.
ReplyDeleteWell we try to get to church, and I do try to meditate a little. But being in a wheelchair limits the weather I can get out in. It looks nice today, but is actually quite cold.
ReplyDeleteI always consider Sunday the last day of the week because Monday is the start of my dreaded work week.
ReplyDeleteFor us Sunday is the first day of the week and we start if off by going to church. We go to Sunday School, Church and we have evening church also. Sunday is church day. :)
ReplyDeleteDuring the afternoon we relax.
Great random facts about Sunday. Sunday is the first day of the week though when I worked full time that day was Monday. LOL! Sundays I enjoy church with my family and then family dinner at my house. That's my kind of Sunday. Hugs and blessings, Cindy
ReplyDeleteFor me, Sunday is the first day of the week. I usually spend Sunday morning at church with family and then enjoy a variety of activities in the afternoon or sometimes just enjoy the rest of the day relaxing.
ReplyDeleteI know the first day of the week on the calendar is Sunday but I have always thought of it as the weeks end. We always go to church, then either go out for lunch or come home and make one, something simple though, unlike my mother who always had a nice meal on Sunday. Then we usually spend the day doing things we enjoy, unless we didn't get the work done we needed to do on Saturday.
ReplyDeleteGreat article! Thanks for sharing, happy Earth Day!
ReplyDeleteI love the cakes.
ReplyDeleteI always think of it as the last day of the week. The wind down day. And my Sundays are almost always the same. I start in the morning with the newspaper and puzzles; make a huge breakfast for Rick and me; catch a couple of news show. Then the middle of the day is open for whatever -- if it's nice a walk or working outside; if not, then maybe reading or tidying or baking. I'll usually make Sunday dinner and after we watch our favorite British shows on TV from 7-11! So routine!
ReplyDeleteSunday isn't exactly just another day, but it is more that it is a feeling. Cause things are about the same, day in and day out...or maybe I should say from week to week is the same. But on Sundays we have a greater chance of see our granddaughter and her mom and dad. When I was a kid, we had the farm animals to see to, and mom did do cooking and dishes, but we did not do laundry or work in the garden, unless it was to go get something specific for that day...we did not house clean. We just did what had to be done.
ReplyDeletesweet post dear Jan
ReplyDeletei think Sunday is special day for all of us for those particularly who have jobs and are free on Sundays only :)
i have some nice treasures of olden Sundays from my childhood too
