Having a four-day weekend then coming back to a four-day work week followed by another four-day weekend and then another four-day week is a bit confusing. Yesterday felt like Sunday, Sunday felt like Sunday, Saturday felt like Sunday and Friday felt like Saturday and Thursday felt like a Friday! Confused?! So am I!
So today feels like a Monday and I've had to remind myself and others around me often today that it really is Tuesday-YAY!! And tomorrow is Wednesday-hump day!!!! Woo hoo the week will be over half over by the end of tomorrow! YES!!!
Which brings me to my whole thought process today with tomorrow being hump day and all...I ran across the coolest saying-"Be a hill seeker! Most of us avoid hills, but what's so good about flat? Think about it: flat tires, flat hair, flat returns and-the ultimate-flatlining. Life happens on the hills. They're opportunities to prove to yourself that you're stronger than you ever imagined. If you never attempt the ascent, you'll never know the thrill of swooshing down the other side." When I read this earlier today I found myself thinking about where I live in the physical aspect-I live on a big hill-and how I have the swoosh down the side as I start out rather than the ascent. Things are a bit backward here! It's always uphill going home for me, whether I'm on my bike or I'm walking or driving-going home is all uphill. Then I started to think about my life and if I approach each day or week as an uphill climb and am I so busy wishing and hoping that I'm all about the swoosh downhill what am I missing? And because none of us knows when our downhill swoosh will literally begin is it always uphill or do we plateau and then the swoosh and life is over? Regardless I think life and each day, some times several times a day, is a series of uphill ascents and then the swoosh or decent. Looking at a week it seems Monday and Tuesday are the ascent. Wednesday is the plateau. And Thursday and Friday are the swooshing decent! And well my day is still ascending. I'll plateau here after school and start the decent after I'm done with my after school stuff, dinner, clean up, getting ready for another day and sit down finally to relax. So as this wacky week gets rolling and we are already heading towards hump day I'd like to slow down, just a bit, and make the most of the ascent and be as excited about it as we are about the swoosh! But in all honesty I really could get used to the four-day weeks and four-day weekends! I know, I know-it's a scheduling thing! I'm going looking for a hill or two before today is over! And then savor the swoosh!
Positive thought of the day: So far so good! The week has started out pretty good for the most part. The weather is finally spring like and I think all the snow if finally gone! Amen! I was afraid we'd have a day or two of spring then go directly to summer but things look fairly normal! Here's to great ascents and descents!
