The evolution of Sunday from a day set aside for special treatment to just another weekend day is one I lament. Not that it would be fun to have stores closed and activities shut down. But it would be nice to have a day that is marked by doing less and reflecting more. A day devoted to gratitude and taking stock.
Some would say we can get by with a few of these a year; we don't need one a week. But I think we might be happier and healthier if we could make slow Sundays the rule instead of the exception.
