Every Day is Saturday
It‘s Saturday and I‘m hanging out at the local Starbucks with Henry. What is it about Saturday? People dress differently, act differently. Everybody seems happier on a Saturday. Did you ever notice that? And on a SUNNY Saturday…one where the sunbeams dance through the window and paint everything a honeyed gold…well oh my. People seem ready to BURST with joy and aliveness. Here in my little Starbucks, they are having a swell time, hanging out in line and schmoozing with each other, joking and teasing and goofing around. Even the Baristas are getting into the swing and having a ball as well. What is it about Saturday that allows room for this level of play? Is it because it‘s not a “work” day?
I wonder what would happen if we played EVERY day? Imagine approaching MONDAY with this kind of ease, joy, lightness. Or God forbid, a WEDNESDAY! How about hanging loose on Wedensday? Or, gee, why not. ..EVERY DAY of the week?
We are so very important, with so many, many important things to do. What would change if we let go a little and goofed around? Do we REALLY think the world would stop turning or life as we know it would come to a screeching halt? Do we even think that we would get all that much less done?
Nah. I don‘t think so. I think we just forget. We get all tangled up…all caught up in our important, important to dos and forget to look around, breathe and goof off a little. Smile and laugh and SEE the people in our world. Gosh I know I do…forget that is. Okay…I‘m going to hold a new practice for myself for a least a week. It‘s a tough one but I think I can manage. I‘m going to make sure that I goof around AT LEAST five times a day. You heard it here folks. “Where‘s Karen?” Oh she‘s over there goofing around!
