Living The Lord's Day Well

I'm a do-er. I struggle with be-ing. Especially when I'm at home on a Sunday afternoon and the dishwasher needs to be unloaded and the laundry folded and the lesson plans prepared for the week and ... and ... and ....

But I'm also a work in progress. So I'll try (again!) to set Sunday aside as a day for prayer and rest and family ... even (especially?) when I am at home.

Today I turned some overripe pears into a cake.

I finished reading my Christmas book and colored for a while.

I took a nap. (So did The Athlete.)

I reveled in feeling like I was in a snow globe 

(for a very few minutes ... the snowfall so far this "winter" has been lame).

I listened to the Vikings win (in overtime!).

I shared a meal and prayed a rosary with the family.

We blessed our home for the new year. (Happy Epiphany!)

I sipped a glass of wine and wrote this blog post.

What's your favorite way to keep holy the Lord's Day?

Need some ideas?
