Today…is…Friday…and…I’m doing the TGIF dance…looking forward to 
the weekend…and…all that it will bring…
Two weeks ago…Friday…meant nothing…it was summer break…mostly I didn’t even keep up with the days of the week…they were pretty much equal…but…going back to work…changes all of that…
Monday…and…Friday…become…gatekeepers…to the work week…to the weekend…and…I suddenly know…exactly what day it is…and…quite honestly…Saturday and Sunday…are my favorites…
I felt a little guilty for admitting that…what if my boss sees this post…what if they think I hate my job…what if…what if…what if…
Bertha…just laughed at me…reminding me…that…I love my job…and everyone knows it…but…then…she tells me more…she tells me the real reason that I love my time off so much…
She says it’s not that I don’t enjoy my work…it’s just that I need the time off to…play…recharge…fill my tank…so…that I will have plenty to give…come Monday morning…
She further says…that when I am looking forward to…Friday…it’s because…my tank is getting empty…I’m running on fumes…which just means…I need to take a bit more time during the week…to do the things that fill me up…prayer…contemplation…meditation…affirmation…exercise…
And…if I’m dreading…Monday…she says…I just haven’t gotten full on the weekend…so…I’m going in…half-tanked…so to speak…
Hmmm…Bertha…not sure I like that phrase…but…I get the meaning…and…it makes sense…
And…I realize…I haven’t taken…enough time this week…so…I think…I’ll take some now…
