As you may remember, one of my 'themes' in the letters for my push ups is 'u' which stands for 'understand the day'. That has a lot of meaning for me as I look at each new day in a unique way as well as as having a place in a week and month. There is a lot about the days of the week that repeat time after time, as well as each day being special in itself. I have the hardest time figuring out my Fridays. I do see a pattern to them even though they also differ from one another the most. But Fridays do feel different to me. There is this end of the work week thing, plus the anticipation of the start of the weekend. I have come to see that I am really tired on a Friday. I believe that it is because of the 4 work days that I have just worked my way through and I am getting tired of it all and looking forward to sleeping in a little bit, and usually Saturday is the only day of the week that I can do that. Maybe it feels different because there is less pressure to work, but Saturday is the best for that. There is no pressure to work on a Sunday, but it comes with its own special kind of pressure. But back to Friday: we have tagged it as time for ourselves day, and our date night, or go out to dinner night. And as much as we do have time to ourselves a lot throughout the week our Friday nights have become our own because we have made the choice to have it that way. Each day does come with its good things, and each day does have a down side too. I have learned that I need to live one day at a time, but I have also learned to always understand the connection the each day has with all of the other days. One day can have a major impact on our lives, but it takes hundreds, and even thousands of days to define ourselves totally. I figure that I am about 2/3's of the way along with lots and lots of days to go. I wonder how good of a guesser I am.
