Sunday Therapy

I am beginning to enjoy sleeping these days and it gets a bit scary. I used to only sleep in the day time if I was ill but these days especially on weekends, I appreciate sleep like it's running out of fashion. Well, I do tend to sleep very late on weekends but it's amazing how much I prioritise my alone time now, sleep time over other forms of leisure. And as I sleep, I hear the words of a song that advices 'don't sleep all you want' tee hee hee. I am loving it though.

So much so that I now attend evening mass which was something I never used to do. The reason being that I may want to go out in the evening. But what happened? I went to evening mass one evening and that was it, I was hooked. I used to go for 8am mass and then 9.30am mass but then that all changed late last year, it began with me no longer even feeling like going to church and so I didn't and then I decided to go to the evening mass one Sunday and I found it very soothing. I wasn't late because there was no traffic like in the mornings, I got to sit inside the church and I quite enjoyed the sermon and in 45 mins it was all over and I felt like I had just breathed some fresh air! This is how church should make you feel. Rejuvenated.

Now, as a result of this new routine, I have some outfits I haven't worn in a while. I don't have to dress up any more to church, there is no formality about evening mass, every Sunday for the last couple of months it appears like I wear the same pair of jeans but it feels very liberating and therapeutic, free from all the hula baloo and social obligations that comes with morning masses. I enjoy good company but sometimes I just want to be alone, especially at church.

I am quite looking forward to the weekly Sunday therapy sessions now. I cannot say I was really at church for all those years I sat outside the church lost in thought and self conscious of the huge number of eyes that watch you go by as you head for the offering or holy communion. All that is past tense now.


Oh did I tell you, I love myself again, we have settled i.e me and myself. I have still not found the driver's license but hey 'it's not that serious'.
