While there is a list longer than my arm of things that I love about Germany, one of my very favorite things is the respect that is still held for Sunday. Not many people still attend church, but few businesses are open and there aren't many cars on the road. Especially when the weather is beautiful, like today, people are out with their families going for walks, bike rides, paddle boating the canal or just sitting on their balconies enjoying the day. It's quiet and peaceful, like a long smile.
I love that people take a day for themselves and forget about the worries of the week. I firmly believe Sundays are for reflection and spiritual preparation for the coming week. A day to stop, smell the roses and appreciate life. I encourage you to do the same and see what happens!
