I recently enjoyed a jammie day; no places to go, no people to see, no chores to do. Sure, jammie pants have become everyday wear since March 2020, but a free day with no required log-in or check-in is a rare, beautiful gift. Too many such days strung together would make a dull person, indeed (hello 2020). Rest time is essential to one’s well-being, but jammie day is not to be spent in bed dreaming of what could be. Imagining in the horizontal position will not make things happen. Nor will binge-watching, although I’m a fan of the occasional “powering down” for an hour or so. My recent jammie day was filled with music and reading to feed my creative senses, brain churning in the background. Sabbath time is one of the Ten Commandments, to be honored and followed to the same degree as the other nine. So here’s to scheduling some weekly jammie time; a half day or so of curling in my reading chair with a stack of books to my left, music cranked and favorite beverage to my right. May it be a cherry on top of a productive week.
