I am grateful for weekends! I have realized how grateful I am for them as I have worked a lot of weekends in the current job that I have, and most recently, I worked every day this past weekend. I am grateful that (in most normal work schedules) there are weekends set aside to take a break, recharge, get things done, or just do nothing if we so choose! Plus, they are always something fun to look forward to, because good things happen on weekends.
That's pretty much it for this post, remember to enjoy your free weekends, or busy weekends, or whatever they may be!
And even if you hate this song, it always makes me think of FRIDAY and it's catchy despite it's stupid factor, and is usually in my head every Friday. Plus, you'll enjoy this little gem of a performance, because Jimmy Fallon and Stephen Colbert make anything funny!
I am grateful for the "Just Because" moments in life. Let me explain... I think they are the things that people do, what they say or how they show you they care about you, appreciate you, or are just thinking about you in life. Someone could send a card saying they are grateful for your friendship "just because". A friend, boyfriend/girlfriend, husband/wife, etc. could send you flowers "just because" they care about you, and want to brighten up your day. Someone could bring you a treat (my first thought was a Jamba Juice!) "just because" they were thinking of you, and thought you might like it. Someone could write a little note telling you to have a great day "just because". Someone could smile at you, or make way for you during traffic "just because" they were feeling friendly that day. There are so many, many ways that you could, and I could, show someone I care about them "just because". Whether they are struggling with something in their life, or they just need a pick me up on a certain day, or whether they just need to know someone is thinking about them, those "just because" moments can be the best thing to brighten up anyone's day. I know I have always been grateful for these little expressions that people show me, and even a smile can brighten my day, "just because". So as you go about your days, (and I am letting this be a reminder to myself, as well) don't forgot to keep in mind those "just because" moments, take advantage of them, and let others know you care. It might make you feel better too!
