Friday JohnKu – AKA TGIF

 

Friday

Friday is always a welcome sight. It usually comes in the nick of time (so to speak) and is the capstone to a very busy week. I suppose that’s why we all like Friday it gives us permission to take a break. I know I speak of Friday as if it is capable of giving us welcome praise or a pat on the back. Sometimes it does feel like Friday has some personality and substance. I think when we make it to Friday that in itself is a reward.  It’s a little like crossing a finish line in a race. The line is there pure and simple. The act of crossing it adds meaning to the line’s purpose.

Not to be overly focused on the weather I am happy to report some sunshine showed up  this week.

This week’s JohnKu (A term coined by Words4JP) discusses Friday as a symbol rather than just another day of the week. I hope you like it.

Friday is but one,

The rest of the week is six . . .

Yet we love it so.

    Hurray for sunshine. As for Friday, it’s all about the work week. The day didn’t have the same flair when I worked weekends.

    Yes, when Friday comes, I often feel like I’ve managed to finish a week-long race. I don’t care if I make first place or last, as long as I finish 😉 Happy Friday, John!

    “Yet we love it so.”
    Even now that I am no longer in the workforce for many years, the end of the week signified by Friday, has that built in ‘time-to-put-my-feet-up feel.
    Old habits are hard to break?

    Perfect JohnKu. ⭐

        I get tired of the same old hearts and flowers and anyway, a star now and again is a wonderful thing. ⭐

    We do! Though it’s a bank holiday today in Sweden (Labour Day) so it’s kind of Saturday for me which is all kinds of confusing!!
