Sunday Mornings are my Favorite

I miss the days of having the newspapers spread out around my chair on Sunday mornings.

These days I binge watch the morning political shows but it’s not the same.

In the winter I still enjoy a big breakfast or the smell of something good in the oven or crockpot.

Oh, yeah! In Washington DC I had the huge Washington Post to read, and then in England it was the even bigger Sunday Times. I would read almost every word and it took me the entire day.

These days we don't take any newspapers and only my husband goes to church since it's now too strenuous for me.

I still like Sundays though. Quiet morning to myself, online movie in the afternoon, PBS Masterpiece at night.
 

I leave around 9 AM for church, then go out to eat with a group from church afterward. I've mentioned in some other thread it's the only day I eat out. By the time I get home, it's 1:00 - 1:30 PM, so not much of the day left, but that's okay, since I never make plans for Sunday afternoons. It's just a relaxing day. During the week, I feel guilty if a day goes by when I don't accomplish something, even if it's small, but I never get that feeling on Sundays. And I love it that the phone seldom rings on Sundays.

I'm the same way, Mack, the other 6 days i have to feel productive beyond daily tasks like feeding the dog and 4 cats, cleaning up dog poop in the yard and cleaning the three litter boxes 3 times a week. But Sundays i can cut myself slack.

Actually as long as you're not eating things that will make an existing health condition worse (glucose impacting foods if diabetic, alcohol if kidney &/or liver issues), one day weekly of 'less healthy' food choices is not likely to do serious damage.

Glad to hear someone else uses flax seeds. They've been a big help for me. I still eat the same 3 high fiber cereals i have for years (oatmeal, shredded wheat and granola) rotating them on 6 days of week. I add a teaspoon of whole flax seeds, but have discovered that at least to me they are so small and bland i barely notice them. So now i add them to Sunday French Toast too.

This summer has been hotter than our usual here, and i have been craving berries, so i add blackberries, raspberries or blueberries to breakfast or to midday yoghurt several days a week.

My breakfast consists of 3 cups of oats, 2 heaping spoonfuls of flax, 2 dashes of cinnamon, 1 cup almond milk. Microwave for 3 minutes on high. Add a handful of frozen blueberries, a bloop of maple syrup, 1/2 cup of water or so just to loosen it up. 1 handful of organic pecans and a sliced banana. This makes 2 servings. After 6 days of that I deserve a decadent Sunday delight.

Absolutely.

My brother lived in Vermont for many years, Christmas gifts of half gallon jugs of Vermont maple syrup hooked me. No more maple flavored syrup. After a few years i started using it as sweetener in rice pudding and egg custard (which i make frequently in fall and winter) because so little is needed to have the little bit of sweetness i like.
 
I enjoy Sunday mornings. Wife and I go to church, stop for breakfast and if necessary, pick up a few groceries. Going to church for the early service means very little traffic on the roads to contend with. It’s a break from dealing with the people on the roads that shouldn’t have a license.
