Happy Friday Thanks

I am thankful:

For getting to wear jeans to work

For donuts, for Starbucks, for long lunches, for company parties that all seem so appropos that one day of the week

For date night, girls’ night, gig night

For getting off work or class early

For memories of Fridays past: for Urkel and Uncle Jesse and Corey and Topanga. For school dances. For the feeling that anything could happen on a Friday night.


For this one-man a capella medley of TGIF theme songs.

For the anticipation of sleeping in, having a leisurely brunch, watching chick flicks in pajamas on Saturday morning

For “permission” to rest

For all the excitement of a weekend before it has slipped away in as much of a busy flurry as the week -- on Friday we still feel the excitement, still believe a million projects can be accomplished, still believe in weekend magic.

For the feeling, once more, that we’ve accomplished something. Or, if we haven’t, that we get to leave this week behind and start over next week.

For all these reasons, I give thanks for Fridays.

And I hope yours is a very happy one.
