Saturdays were Made for Nothing

That is not to say that Saturdays are pointless, but rather that every once in a while, a Saturday should be void of chores or errands or commitments of any kind. Simply enjoy the day.

Most Saturday mornings are anything but relaxing. We have our grocery shopping to do – put the final touches on the shopping list, take inventory of supplies and shop accordingly. If there are projects that need attention around the house, Saturday’s are usually the day for that, too.

Once in a rare moon is Saturday spent quietly. It is only when we make it a point to shut out the rest of the world that is a Saturday made for nothing. Did you know that, depending upon who you listen to, today is National Nothing Day? It’s also the first Saturday of the month – and that’s Play Outside Day. Recently we did just that – did almost nothing (driving was involved) and played outside.

Oh to those glorious days without a care in the world. Naturally, carefree days should begin with a warm, sweet slice of cake and a leasurily cup of coffee.
