"We can take a part of every day and consciously give ourselves over to a grateful celebration of the abundant blessings of our life," Dr. Joan Borysenko.
Dr. Borysenko writes that we in our current times have lost touch with celebrating the rhythm of the seasons and the week. The Hasidim, a mystical sect of Jews, celebrated in joy and song the Sabbath Day and the changing of the seasons, according to Dr. Boryensko. Where we live, I believe we still acknowledge (perhaps not celebrate) the changing of the seasons, because they are so definitive. But, as a culture, we pretty much treat Sunday like any day. Perhaps we cannot treat Sunday as a day of to give back to God as in times past, but we can set aside time every day to notice and be grateful for the many blessings in our lives.
