Hump Day

Every week people look forward to "Hump Day". Now some of you may not know what that is; so let me explain. Hump Day is Wednesday when you're half was done with the work week, and "over the hump" onto the weekend. Now, I get it. I love hump day just as much as the next guy, however it's gotten me thinking lately.

Each week majority of the general public: hates Mondays, doesn't mind Tuesdays, Wednesdays get us "over the hump" to the weekend, Thursdays are just there, and Fridays we count down the hours to the weekend. Everybody loves the weekend. It's our time to relax, get things done around the house, and visit with friends and family. The year goes by and next thing we know it, we're all celebrating New Year's Eve. Everyone looks around and wanders where the year and time went. Well I know where it went; we all wished it away. Every Monday we begin looking forward to the weekend and just praying we make it through the work week. My mother told me not to wish my life away because next thing I'll know I'll be 80 years old wondering where it went. Well she was right. She was right about a lot of things. My mother passed away on New Year's Even of 2010, and to me she was teaching me one more lesson before she passed, and that was to cherish our time here on earth, and to not let the years blow by us. Nobody know when it's our time to go, and so we should all enjoy it.

So here's my challenge to you: Do something fun during the week. Don't wait until Friday,Saturday, or Sunday to hang out with friends and family. Have a game night on Tuesday night and/or cocktails with friends on Thursdays. Join a bowling league during the winter and softball or volleyball during the summer. We all need to start enjoying our lives more because one day they'll be gone, and we'll all wonder where they went.
