From the Desk of Phaedra G. Saunders - New Blog Posting - Living in Atlanta - Misty Sunday
On
this misty Sunday morning my eyes opened when they wanted and lazily
closed again for another two and a half hours of uninterrupted blissful
sleep. I dare say that waking a second time was a blessing as someone
in this world on this morning had not awakened the first time...Continue

Misty Sunday
On this cool, misty Sunday morning, I watch my favorite Sunday morning television
program. It fills my mind with useful
information and it appeals to my trivia side.
Tidbits of knowledge can go a long way.
I drew a hot bath of lavender scented bubbles with a hint of eucalyptus healing
my mind and my senses as I forgot about whatever it was that was on my mind
prior to that point. In my kitchen, I
prepared a meal that was only to my liking and tried a new wine, a blend of
Syrah and Merlot. It’s what I like to
call a “grown” woman’s brunch.
On my misty Sunday, the Grantham family and I spent the afternoon
together catching up on what was happening at Downtown Abbey, I just love the
Edwardian period with all its grandeur and social graces…the life of Aristocracy,
all the while completing a craft project of my own that prepares me for the
cold winter days.
On my misty Sunday, sounds of jazz greats like Nina Simone, Stan Getz and
Tito Puente waif through my house.
The melodies and words mirror my life, the joys and challenge’s my
family and I face, yet we get through.
It puts me in the mood to be just like these artists, creative and
working on my craft. So many good things
happened during the course of this day.
I’ll hold that sacred only for me to experience. Of course, I will close my evening with my
love, my passion, my release…my writings.
By now you may be wondering why I chose to write a blog about how I
spent my Sunday. Well, so often the rat
race some refer to as “life” leaves one with little time for self. We spend our free time in different ways,
most spend time outside of the home, others inside. I have a busy life, often times hectic but
always rewarding. But there are moments,
days like this in which everything slows down and I can once again appreciate
the manner in which I like to spend my free time. This day brought me back to who I am and some
of the many things that I love. It’s not
an every Sunday occurrence, so when it happens it become that breath of fresh
air needed to take me to my next breathing
space. One in which I will
appreciate, cherish and definitely enjoy.
So my lovelies, what takes you to your next breathing space? Whatever it
is, take the time to recognize and enjoy it.
Don’t just go through the motions because you are use to doing it, take
the time to be present in that moment, drinking it all in and being grateful
that you are able to experience it…just where you are.
Until next time my lovelies…there’s only love.
Peace and blessings,
Phaedra
