Today is a wonderful day. There is no particular reason it is a wonderful day - it just is. It's getting warmer which is great as the winter has seemed to have dragged on and on. A few weeks ago, I made a promise to myself not to do any work on a Sunday. It is very easy to fall into a trap of spending the afternoon marking or preparing work and I am just not going to do it. I would rather spend the time during the week making sure that everything is done so that I can have one day when I don't do anything.
Instead, I spend the day doing my favourite things: I water all my pot plants (and talk to them) and then I sit and read a book. It's wonderful. I love that feeling of 'just one more chapter', that real delight in reading, rather than a feeling that I have to read.
I really believe there is much to be gained from relaxing and just spending the day doing what you want. There is always so much to do, so much to organise and complete and sometimes it is nice to just push all that aside and say, 'Wait!'.
