Just think: one day a week where the only thing you have to do is get out of bed, feed yourself, and go to the bathroom. No dishes, no laundry, no mowing the lawn, no picking up, no cooking, NOTHING. Just rest.........
And with 52 weeks in a year, that equals 52 days out of every year to do NOTHING. That's like having a month and a half off!

Yes we do!!!
... I remember when NOTHING was opened for business on sundays.... Very rarely you might have a gas station opened. But those were VERY few & VERY far between..
.. no stores, no malls, no bars, no restaraunts, were opened..
We all got what we needed sometime during the other 6 days of the week. It wasn't hard to do..
It was nice. Everyone had atleast ONE DAY to be with their family & go to church, & come home relax & watch the football games, enjoy the day or what ever they wanted
.... Nobody was forced to go out & work on Sundays just to making more pocket change & stuffing the pockets of the big wigs running the companys!
We actually refuse to go to stores, restaraunts, ect.. on sundays.
For 4 years I worked every stinkin' sunday waiting tables, I hated it.
SO we don't go out shopping or go out to eat on Sundays! Because it is just wrong to go make someone wait on us when they should be home with their family, at church, or taking a much needed day off!
The other thing that really irritates me is... these businesses that stay open on Holidays, Christmas, Thanks Giving, Easter, ect.
What even irritates me more is the people who actually go out to these restaraunts on such holidays with their whole family.. mean while the people who are there working would give almost anything to be home with their familys!
WE SHOULD MAKE A STAND & DO NOT PATRONIZE PLACES THAT MAKE EMPLOYEES WORK SUNDAYS & HOLIDAYS!!!!!
I do know Dennys Restaraunts forces their employees to work Christmas & if anyone calls off THEY ARE AUTOMATICALLY FIRED! That is BS! So even though I do like their food, I no longer go there at all!

Add to that... walk to church... I like in an area where Jewish people are sprinkled throughout the 10 mile radius and are very faithfully keeping the sabbath. They can't and don't carry anything or drive these days. It is really something to see. I do wish we call could and would do it. I read a book once where the writer talked about recommitting to sabbath in your family. It may have been by that Sarah Breathnact Brea.... I forget her name.

What is preventing you from doing just that?
I read your question 3 times trying to decide what you were longing for.
And still am not sure. Do you mean the government should force someone to give you the day off or what?
I routinely take as much time off as I want and do what I want.
