I don't believe that I am the only one who tries to recognize the fact that days all have their own 'personality'. In my push up motto the 'u' stands for 'understand the day'. Of course all days are different, but the various days of the week have a uniqueness of their own. After studying them for all these years I have come to recognize and expect different things for different days of the week. I have also learned that one good way to really ruin a day is to expect it to act like a different day. A Saturday can't be a Thursday, and a Tuesday will never be the same as a Friday. The most unique day of the week is Sunday. That is the hardest day for me to make sure I live differently then the other 6 days. I am doing better, but I still want some other-day-ness on my Sunday. When I don't I end up enjoying it for the special day that it is, and when I do that I am able to live the others better as well. Just as I can't be all things to all people my days can't be other days. They have to be what they are meant to be. I don't think that that is really a strange thing to say. I believe that it actually makes sense. So my Saturday, for a Saturday was a good day. For a Tuesday it didn't measure, and tomorrow, my Sunday, will have to be different for it to be a good Sunday. This all may sound a little silly, but I think that it is actually quite sophisticated and wise. Or, at least, I am sophisticated and wise to know it. I am still working on actually doing it as well as I should, but at least I have identified the truth of it, and continue to make progress as I move on in my journey. Being old does have some advantages, just like Sunday has some advantages. But then so does Tuesday.
