As a kid in high school, I would pay attention to the days the farmer’s market was open downtown. It was open every day that had a “T” in it. Monday, i was bummed because it was Monday. Tuesday, I noticed the market open and knew there were three days left. Wednesday was hump day and it was closed. Thursday, I was glad to see it open because it meant one more day. Friday, I barely paid attention, because after all, it was Friday.
I’ve worked jobs where i couldn’t wait for the weekend. Monday through Friday seemed to drag and then the weekend would fly by.
Eventually I decided that I didn’t want to live my life dreading five-sevenths of it. I did two things. First, I started enjoying anything I was doing regardless of what it was. Secondly, I set out to try to do what I wanted to do every day. Times when that wasn’t possible, I reverted to number one.
Every single day of my life, I get to wake up and do whatever I want to do with my day.
It sure beats dreading every Monday and biding my time until Friday.
One man put it this way, design a life you don’t need a vacation from.
