Hey hey and happy Friday.
I remember a time when my calendar was filled with appointments, game days, work trips, vacations, and get togethers with friends and family. Ticking off the days ’til the next bbq or weekend trip gave the week it’s structure. I knew which days I needed to buckle down and get work done, and those I could schedule free time for mani pedis or shopping sprees with my girl.
With a full calendar that took on a life as a living organism and was constantly evolving, my week seemed to flow at a predictable pace, even when time seemed to fly by. My how things have changed. Now, the monotony has taken over. These days, because there are so few interruptions to the day’s structure, life during this weird time seems to both crawl and speed by. Each week I’m startled to see it’s already time to create the week’s list of Friday Faves, but with hardly anything new from my life to report about the same old, same old. It feels like things are just going on, going on…
As we are all experiencing together, this year’s free and easy, lazy summer days have been anything but. Summer fun and traditions are far and few between, with the chance for typical summer vacations, nighttime baseball games with fireworks, and days spent at the pool quickly dimming from our looking forward to summer view. I mean, who else is craving watching a summer blockbuster with a tub of popcorn in a cool, dark movie theater during a hot summer day?
But those gloriously carefree days will be back. I feel it in my bones. Patience my friend, that’s what we all need now—and masks! WEAR YOUR MASKS and wash your hands! Because If we all do our part, the good old days will be back, and hopefully better than ever.
But enough of all that. Let’s dig into this week’s list of Friday Faves.
Enjoy!
