I enjoy "hump day". No real reason why other than it is the middle of the work week and once this day is over - it's all "down hill" to the weekend. But I don't want to wish my life away either. I like the Geico commercials with the camel - especially the one of it going through the office yelling "Mike, Mike, Mike.... what day is it?" I smile every time I see it. Of course there are numerous pictures on the internet as well. As I sent out my reports this morning I had to add the one of the two 'donkeys' talking to each other. One is saying "Hey, Mike, Mike, Mike, Mike, Mike.... guess what day it is....guess what day it is...." and the other responds "Bruce, you are NOT a camel. You're an ass. We discussed this." Cracks me up every time.
But today IS "hump day" however you choose to think of it. Other than the past couple years when all the jokes became prominent, I guess I didn't really think too much about it other than it being the middle of the week and once past it I only had two days left of work. I kind of enjoy the rhedoric about it.
What about you? How do you view Wednesday? Do you just not think about it and view it as another day? Sadly, that is what most people do. It is just another day in their life.
One thing I've determined, each and every day needs to be celebrated in some way. I don't care if you just take two minutes out for yourself in that day, celebrate being alive. Celebrate family, those things that mean something to you. Celebrate YOU.
You may think you aren't much to celebrate - but you are. You were created in the image of God. Yeah, I know, you have heard 'that story' before. But you were. And so am I. I may not always behave in the way I should, or say things I shouldn't, but that doesn't mean I wasn't created in His image. I was created to bring God glory - and so were you. We both were created to worship God. How do we worship Him? By the way we live. Are we honest? Are we caring? Do we treat others as we want to be treated? Do we care about others as much as we care about ourselves? These are things we do to worship God.
God has blessed us with another day - each one of you reading this - God has brought air into your lungs and opened your eyes this morning. Every morning when hubby and I pray together, we always thank God for the night's rest (even if it is a rough night) and for awakening us that morning. As much as I dislike getting up early, I'm grateful that I can get up. I'm thankful for my job. I'm thankful for my health. And I tell God so every day, 'thank You'.
Another big meeting today so it will be a busy day - but it's 'hump day' and will go quickly. Tomorrow we are having our 'Thanksgiving lunch' here at work. I'm bringing deviled eggs. It's still a lot of work, but much easier to transport than some things. I'm trying not to offer to bring so much as I have in the past. I don't need to furnish everything just because I love to cook. I can let others supply the rest. So deviled eggs it is for me to bring.
Hope that you have a great 'Hump Day' and get a lot accomplished. Two days to go until the weekend! Keep Smiling. ;-)
Blessings!
