Fridays are an interesting thing. In reality, it is just another day of the week. In practice, they are the proverbial carrot for each week. It keeps hanging out there in front of us and entices us to finish each work week. On vacations, Fridays is dreaded as vacation is coming to a close. During the work week, Fridays keep us going. At least it keeps me going!
People are happy on Fridays, much more so than on Mondays. There is likely some highly funded bit of academic research proving what we have all known for years: Fridays are a good thing! Fridays and full coffee cups.
I've often wondered if we could extend the Friday feelings to other aspects of our life. The reality is that there are very few things that are so short term (7 days) and so repeatable as a week. We have them 52 times every year of our lives, except the last one (given you don't die on a Saturday). Good food for thought, I suppose. So, take care of yourself and make sure you die on a Saturday so you'll have a full Friday to be in a good mood.
Of course, there is also the "dreaded" Monday syndrome. Quite the opposite from Friday, in my mind.
Have a great, non-working weekend.
