Friday's Child

Have you been working on your gratitude journal, seeking out things you can be grateful for on a daily basis?  Have you noticed a difference in your mental attitude as you head out the door for your job?  Have you had time to spend on yourself, even if it’s simply taking a lunch time walk around the block and feeling grateful for Canada’s clean air and safe environment?  I hope you’ve had some positive experiences this week and that you will continue to keep up the good work.
       Let’s share some of my moments this week . . .
Monday I went slip sliding my way in to work due to a minor snow storm Sunday night and I had my first experience with being set off the train and waiting for 12 minutes for the next one (due to mechanical difficulties).
Tuesday I had a snow day at home because of more snow that ended in a plugged driveway.  Mom and I enjoyed the day, she making homemade soup while I battled with a failing internet connection (“working from home”).
Wednesday the day was hectic at work, I had continued with my gratitude journal and enjoyed my drive in to work by asking my muse “should I call it day”?  going home I experienced a second train incident; who knew that when a C-train runs a red light the mechanical contraption causes it to come to a full halt and then an investigation ensures?  Yep, 15 minute hold up while the train ahead of ours was investigated for being naughty.
Thursday I wrote in my journal that I appreciated the gift of Sarah Ban Breathnach and Oprah Winfrey, guiding me into my path of gratitude.  I also watched a classmates U-tube on the passion of sketching and again asked “am I doing what I really am born to do”?  Third incident of the week, inebriated aboriginals on the train being raucous and obscene.  People studiously averted their gazes and sighed in relief when they offboarded at the Stampede grounds.
Friday, ah, Friday only begins now but hey, LottoMax is 50 Million Dollars and our pool is definitely riding the Positive Wave.  Oh yes, I am filled with gratitude, bliss, humour, contentment and just plain good old Friday Fever.
Mondays child is fair of face,
Tuesdays child is full of grace,
Wednesdays child is full of woe,
Thursdays child has far to go,
Fridays child is loving and giving,
Saturdays child works hard for his living,
And the child that is born on the Sabbath day
Is bonny and blithe and good and gay.
