Making Men Sunday Edition

From the Editor

A happy Sunday morning to you all! For a lot of people, Sundays mean going to church, having dinner or going on an outing, and relaxing in general. For me, it’s always a time of relaxation, and that relaxation never feels better than after a hard day’s work on the Saturday before.

Yesterday was one of those Saturdays filled with hard work for me. It started when I went to my job at 5 am to check on a few things, but I was out of there by 8 and ready to get on with the real work of the day.

Bushes were dug up, new landscape boxes were put in and filled with mulch, a storage unit was emptied, multiple trips to the dump were made, and a grill got a heck of a cleaning. It all made for a very tiring day, but once the work was over, a hot shower and a tasty dinner were consumed, it was so nice to just sit on the porch and consume an adult beverage while listening to music and enjoying the view of a new landscape.

As I talked about in the post Ways to Get More Out of Life, leisure time should be a sometimes thing, not an all-the-time sort of thing. If you spend all of your time relaxing, is it enjoyable? What are you unwinding from if all your time is spent unwinding? Relaxation is truly enjoyable when you’ve earned it. And I deeply enjoyed relaxing yesterday evening.

Some of the highlights of my week are putting together the posts for this newsletter. It’s strangely relaxing for me to write and share things with you that I think are important to the growth of men, both young and old. So I’m enjoying putting together this week’s Sunday Edition, and hope you enjoy reading it and checking out the interesting links I’m supplying you with today. Check them out, and arm yourself with even more interesting things to talk about when you find yourself in your next conversation.
