Sundays Are for Sunshine, Laughter & a Little Bit of Journaling

May 18, 20251 min read

There’s just something special about Sundays. The pace is slower, the coffee tastes sweeter, and the world feels like it’s pressing the pause button—just for a moment.

This morning, I sat on the patio, wrapped in a light blanket, sipping my favorite drink, coffee (of course), and listening to the birds hold their own little concert. That moment reminded me of something important: joy doesn’t always come in grand gestures—it often tiptoes in with the morning sun and a grateful heart.

Sundays are sacred—not just spiritually, but emotionally. It’s a day to reset your mindset, refill your joy tank, and remind yourself that laughter is medicine and journaling is therapy. I wrote in my journal this morning: “I give myself permission to rest, laugh, and dream today.” You’d be surprised how freeing that one sentence can be!

Whether you're curled up with a romance novel, cooking something cozy, or watching an old Western (you know I love me some “Perry Mason” after church), don’t forget to add YOU to your to-do list today.

So, here’s your Sunday soul prompt:
What’s one simple thing that brought you joy today? Write it down, cherish it, and share it in the comments—I’d love to celebrate it with you.

Wishing you a Sunday filled with sunshine, belly laughs, and a little bit of grace.
