Congrats, we made it through another week. I myself have a busy work day ahead of me, but I'm glad it's Saturday. I've got two days off and it will be a nice break.
I wrote this little poem, if you will, a while back.
Monday looms above me as a great dictator
I climb up my soap box and step on his head
Now the weekdays and weekends
To me, are all dead!
I used to always get a case of the Sunday night blues when the weekend was over and I would have to start my week all over again. Half way through the day I would start thinking about going back to work and getting bummed out. Now, I wont tell you that it doesn't occasionally happen but its far better than it used to be. I realized just how fast the weekends were going by and the weekdays seemed to be going just as fast. Next thing you know I have a beard full of grays and my temples to match. I was spending way to much energy getting bummed that my weekend was almost over, I was missing out on enjoying it all together. I also realized that a Monday, or Tuesday , Wednesday or whatever day doesn't mean life stops. So what, you give up a couple hours to earn an honest living, but there's plenty of time to enjoy everyday. If the weather is nice out and I wanna go for a night time ride on a Thursday, you better believe I'm going. I don't want my mind to be conditioned to do or not do things because its a "weekday". If certain concepts or ideas are going to dictate my path in life I might as well be a robot.
The only way I have found for combating those blues is to try and do my best to be in each moment. It's not an easy task but if you can accomplish that it makes those times more enjoyable and lessens the stress of things to come, or things we "think" are coming.
Don't be fooled by the calendar. There are only as many days in the year as you make use of. ~Charles Richards
Enjoy this day and do the same tomorrow, and the next day, and the next...
