Tuesday, Dear Tuesday….

This morning my contemplation was in regards to Tuesday's…. I don't know if it would be a ridiculous notion to feel sorry or even contemplate the overall perceived thought on a day of the week, but that's where I am at this morning. Let's reflect…

Monday is "special" because it is the FIRST day of the week, it's met with optimism by some and dread by others. It has its own cute sayings like "Does someone have a case of the Mondays?" (OfficeSpace), "I HATE Mondays!", or "It's a FRESH week with no mistakes in it YET". TUESDAY's are a different story… it's as if Tuesday is the middle child of 5 with no particularly unique qualities. The world at large sort of "forgets" it exists and it's as if Tuesdays are a black hole of the work week, month, and year. Wednesday's are humpday, Thursdays are for going out with friends, and Fridays—well, TGIF BABY…. Saturday's are for working around the house, dinner with family or friends, and the VERY best day of the week… and Sundays are for God, Family, and Rest!

Have I convinced you to feel sorry for Tuesdays yet?

My friends and I made a resolve about two years ago that we were going to make EVERY day special… even Tuesdays…. So, we call them "friends drinks Tuesdays"…. There are many pros to this idea… we start our evening out together much earlier, the restaurants and bars are empty, and we get the best specials and service. BUT the best thing about it is that we can spend that time together without the conflict of a million and one OTHER things going on around us. So, my thoughts are….

Instead of forgetting Tuesday exists, make each day of your week count—Tuesdays are not the middle child to forget about, but the day for quiet reflection with good friends, good food, and good times.


 

Happy Tuesday everyone!!

Blogging for Bloggings Sake

I was sitting here at my dining room table having my first cup of coffee this morning and felt convicted to Blog. As I reflected on this conviction I realized that it came from somewhere other than my person—it came from social pressure itself. In addition to drinking coffee I was messing around with my Facebook and Twitter accounts and came across an article written on the importance of blogging. I always knew the importance of blogging as it pertains to web presence and blah blah blah, but I thought I could "squeak by" with some micro blogging posts on Twitter and Facebook. Thank you to Smashable for setting me straight! J


 

I believe my last post explained by renewed commitment to this blogger process and I have let down myself, my readers, and the internet at large—for that I am deeply apologizing to all of those people who are weeping in my slacker absence. I'm back….


 

I don't have much more to say this morning other than I am stoked on the sun shining, one more week of classes, and a productive week ahead! Enjoy the sun, enjoy the calm, and enjoy life. Until I write again….
