What Makes Weekends Special?

A large part of being a homemaker involves finding special moments in the everyday routines.

I have come to find such moments on weekends, especially in the morning. While I am an early riser on any given day, I find a different kind of peace in waking up early on weekend mornings. When you know that you have leisure and do not have to rush through the morning, it gives a beautiful and relaxed start for the day.

I love the solitude of weekends when I am the only one awake in the house. I love the silence that has come to indicate a weekend, a silence that is interrupted only by the lazy chirping of birds. It feels as if the world around me is sleeping and basking in the feeling of leisure and holiday.

While everything about the weekend is special, the tea and coffee are a whole another vibe! I don't know what it is about the beverages on a Saturday morning, but they feel extra - extra-relaxing, extra-delicious and extra - soul-nourishing. I absolutely love my tea and coffee on the morning of a weekend. 

And perhaps this is what life is all about - finding the weekend after a week-day,and finding the special in ordinary moments!
