Oh Happy Day
July 31, 2009

What if every day was Friday? What is your favorite of the week?
Is there a favorite day really, or do we need the balance and variety of all the different things the days bring.
Everyone probably know the song, 'Thank God it's Friday'.
Friday indeed is a great day but so is any day, if you have that perspective.
I know all us know people that almost everyday they stumble in from the night try to make do with 3 hours or less of sleep.
I love the phrase a friend of mine used, 'That dog don't hunt'. It kind of fits with the person who stumbles into work half eye open and kinda grumpy.
Let us for a moment focus on kids, almost any age under 7 what is their outlook on each day. Everyday is Friday! Wide eyed and smiles abound, endless energy, climbing trees, running, kicking, playing with great sounds of joy.
So what happens?
They turn 8, 9 and they change? Or do we as parents and society change them.
How many times does a parent say, stop, or no you can't do that?
Some experts say 1000's of times before the age of 18. Do you think that effects how they look at a Monday.
If we take the time to have joy, gratitude, happiness and wear a smile how will that effect our kids?
If we take the time to pray with them, share quiet moments with them, laugh, and think with them, how will it effect our kids?
Growing up that way, I will go out on a limb here, it will mean everything!
So take the time to explain before you just say no to that little one.
Take the time to share joy, share a laugh, and pray with them. Give them the gift of giving a smile and watch how that gift will keep on giving.
Happy Friday everyone! Hope your day is great, filled with laughter and joy! Take the time today to look for that person who needs a compliment, needs a smile and make that difference for them.
