It's still pretty darn early here on a still pitch-black Sunday morning at the "old homestead."
Last night was one of the first real decent periods of sleep I've had in quite a long time. I generally have no problems falling asleep, the issue I usually encounter during the night is staying asleep. And then staying asleep especially if I have to work the next day.
Lynn is more of a night person, as where I'm way more of a morning folk. The problem I have is that I wake up 3, 4, or even 5 times during the night and often don't fall back to sleep very easily or quickly.
Anyhow, yesterday at a Framer's Market in Moncton, I picked up some loose-leaf tea produced locally in New Brunswick. It was labeled as "a great tea to sip before bed to relax muscles, encourage drowsiness, quiet the mind, and calm the nerves." It is an all-natural botanical containing - hibiscus, rosehips, chamomile, lemon balm, bee balm, and valerian root.
One thing that I am very careful with is anything that contains caffeine and consuming that later in the afternoon or evening. Caffeine taken at those times results in little to no sleep at all.
But, last night is gave this stuff a go.
And I must admit, it did work overall pretty darn well. I can't pinpoint the exact feelings, but it felt like there wasn't the same level of anxiety or nervousness when sleeping.
But, this post isn't necessarily about that.
What is your routine on Sundays?
Are Sundays that day of rest? Isn't there some old saying out there, that Sunday is a day of rest?
Do you usually work on Sundays? Perhaps Sunday is church in the morning, then followed by something else in the afternoon.
Sunday is a big....real big brunch event in our area of the country. Likely is that way all over.
Do families still do the traditional Sunday evening dinner? We did growing up.
Or perhaps Sunday is now just like any other day of the week.
For Lynn and I, now it is more or less like any other day of the week. It wasn't always like that and Sunday for us has gone through a variety of iterations over time.
I'd be interested to hear what your Sunday typically is like.
