What’s nice about Sunday is you can relax to your heart’s desire.
I wake up early during Sundays so we could attend the 6:30 am mass at the town proper. I prepare breakfast first before leaving the house. When I am not in the mood to cook lunch or dinner, we just order from outside. One thing I do like about Sundays is that I am not obliged to labor near the stove…haha! After watering the plants and cleaning the house, I am free to read or make an advance post here but making advance posts seldom happens nowadays. Oh, I get lazy too thinking of what to write about. Not all days are inspiring ones.
Our Lady of Light Parish is busy preparing for the Canonical Coronation of the Blessed Virgin Mary. The Patroness of Cainta will be crowned on December 1, 2018 after receiving the Papal Bull more than a month ago. We celebrate our town fiesta every December 1, the official feast Our Lady of Light. Looking forward to the event.
I am done with 28 books since January 1, 28% of my Goodreads reading challenge. I am presently on my 29th book entitled In the Midst of Winter by Isabel Allende. Allende is a Chilean-American writer. The book speaks of life and growing old. This is just my second book of her although I have another one on my TBR list called The Japanese Lover which is set during WWII. Come Holy Week, I would have to stop reading fictions and memoirs and concentrate instead on my inspirational books by St. Therese, Henri Nouwen, and Thomas Merton. They are my reading companions during Lent. I am in charge of posting the daily Gospel readings on our web page, a very helpful task for my spiritual growth.
Our friendly neighbor came by a while ago bringing with him a pot of a red Shanghai Beauty. It would be a lovely partner to my pink ones. They are good planted as borders. My bottle gourds are doing nicely. I planted them from seeds two weeks ago. Josef and I made additional trellis on top of the existing one at the back of the house. It is really nice to see them all – the tomato seedlings, eggplant, Thai chilli, okra and water spinach. Even are jackfruit trees are bearing small fruits again. Looking forward to harvesting them in a few months. The fulfillment one gets from gardening, so priceless.
Dance in the rhythm of life.
Happy Sunday everyone!
Have a happy Sunday too

Haha, I’m still in my overnight trackie, and haven’t done a thing all day, but definitely feeling rested and relaxed.

I read a book by Allende titled ‘The House Of The Spirits’. It was very good, and the film adaptation was good too. Sunday is much the same as any other day for me, except I usually make a cooked breakfast.
Best wishes, Pete.

That was the first book I had of her. It’s been a long time since I read it. I didn’t know about the film adaptation, good thing you told me.

My husband is head usher at the 11:45 Mass, so our mornings are peaceful before that. I like to pray the readings for the Mass before we go. I also do the laundry which is also very peaceful.

It is always nice to know how fellow Catholic friends spend their Sundays Elizabeth. I did the laundry too late in the afternoon.

Yes, the technician (who is our neighbor) just changed a wire which was broken inside and all is well. Thank God we won’t need to buy a new one. My son paid him P300 pesos. T%hanks Elizabeth!

We had a neighbor who could fix anything. Before he died, he taught my husband to fix many things which has saved us money too.
