										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sunday is my favorite day of the week.  Aaaahhhh rest is on the list. Sadly, it is the finishing touch to the weekend. For this reason, most of us limit the amount of activity that we may cram into our Sunday. In our daily lives we consistently try to shove  &#8220;10 pounds of &#8220;it&#8221; into a 5 pound bag&#8221;. This usually makes a mess of something, or is it just me?<span id="more-2987"></span></p>
<p>Even I, limit how much of &#8220;it&#8221; I will cram into my Sunday. Which is probably  part of the reason that I so love this day of the week. Somehow saying &#8220;I am not available to take part&#8221; on a Sunday, is easier for us to manage than other days. We don&#8217;t want to miss out on the fun. Is it possible that our Monday through Saturday could use a bit of a break?</p>
<p>Surprisingly, as a social butterfly it is hard to miss out on the many options available  to watch, participate or celebrate. Consequently, all of  us,  could probably use a little more down time. No doubt, defining down time is certainly different for each of us. What does your downtime list consist of and should I add  it to mine?</p>

<p>Hence, downtime for me consists of several of my favorite things which change from time to time. Items consist of solitary and social things to share:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Mimi&#8217;s Downtime<br />
</strong>Reading a delicious book<br />
Porch time with loved ones<br />
<a href="https://www.gulfshores.com/travel-tools/vacation-guide/">Chasing sunsets</a><br />
Creating a dish to share</p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://fairhopepaddleboard.com">Paddle boarding any time</a><br />
Lazy day on the beach<br />
Quiet time with Grill-Man<br />
Laughing with friends in a casual setting<br />
Vegging in front of the TV for a movie</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">In conclusion, my suggestion for this Sunday is to rest. Next Sunday,  will be a  totally different story. Planning a large meal?</p>
