Cherish time

The other day I was trying to figure out how to schedule the next couple months of our life. It's hard to divide the days equally. It's hard to do everything you want to do when you want to do it. But what I have realized is that days mean nothing. Time means everything.

It shouldn't matter what day you see a person. What matters, what really matters, is the time you spend with them. Maybe it's only a short lunch or a quick coffee, but if that's all you can do then why not make it time well spent? Cherish it. Enjoy it.

Memories can be incredible no matter what day they happen. Usually, it's the unexpected days that turn into the best. It becomes this beautiful memory you weren't even trying to make.

Concentrate on giving time to someone you love. Even if it's a little bit at a time. It shouldn't matter when it happens. What should matter is what you do with that time. So do something with it already.

True that

"What most people need to learn in life is how to love people and use things, instead of using people and loving things."

written or spoken by someone, no doubt, very wise. Sadly, most people will never learn this lesson.

Friday

I woke up this morning at 6:15. What? I got up. Ate breakfast. Got to work on time. I felt rested. I was relaxed. I was ready to take on the day for one reason and one reason only...it was Friday.

Everything is easier on Fridays. It's like the last 100 meters of a race. No matter how tired you were with 150 meters left, somehow, somewhere you find the energy to sprint to the finish line. (And then you die, but that's not important.) Right now, what's important is that it's Friday.

And it's pay day!!! Bonus. (Well, no. No actual bonus. Just the same paycheck I get on the 15th and the last day of every month. Do bonuses even exist anymore?)

I think Friday is like a drug. It makes everything seem ok. It makes everything seem possible. Maybe it's the fact that tomorrow I get a rest. Friday - sure, I'll put in my time. Do my work. Get done what needs getting done. Tomorrow? I'm the boss. And being the boss is sweet!

Happy Friday! What are you doing to celebrate?
