Thursdays

Thursdays are my favorite day of the week. I love the feeling I get from Thursday. I am guessing Saturday is the most popular day of the week, followed by Sunday, then Friday. Maybe Thursday is typically fourth most popular, but is possibly challenged equally by Tuesday and Wednesday. I know Monday has got to be last.

So, for me, why Thursday? I think about it like this: You know what it's like to have money in your pocket and you feel like you can buy something if you want? It's the anticipation of being able to buy something - anything. But being Thursday, you can't just yet.

Thursday is the anticipation. Looking forward to the start of the weekend. This is the last "full" workday of the week. You still have Friday to fall back on if you don't get the day's work completed.

Fridays are workdays too, but they are also part of the weekend. Fridays have a dual personality. We have to work, but we are already thinking and acting "weekend."

When Saturday arrives, the weekend begins -- and the money in your pocket gets spent, so-to-speak.

And then Monday comes around again, starting the cycle all over again -- working my way to Thursday, when the money in my pocket returns.
