There is something special about Fridays

Thankfully the end of the working week for most folks

With a whole weekend to follow

Friday nights are usually fun nights

Time to relax and unwind 

You can stay up really late if you do not work Saturdays

It could be a night out with friends

Exploring a new bar or restaurant

Or an exciting date night

Perhaps a relaxing evening at home with your partner

A nice meal with wine then a Netflix movie

The possibilities are endless

Some people call it Friday Funday

Some say TGIF

Many cultures embrace Friday as a day for fun

I have enjoyed many Fridays in my lifetime

2014 brought retirement from my full time employment

So in theory all days should be the same for me now

But I still get excited on Fridays

Weekends are fun filled with social activities

Especially with our friends who still work

I used to get depressed on Sundays

Knowing that the work week was looming

Not any more

Monday morning blues are a thing of the past for me

I wake up cheerful on Mondays

In fact I wake up consistently cheerful virtually every day of the week

Except on Fridays

When I wake up ecstatic

Go figure?
