Why we so often confuse Monday with a small Saturday.

Monday morning. We get out of bed, and in my head one thought: «Again work, again business, and yesterday was Sunday! What if every day was a holiday?» But wait, what if every day is actually a holiday, but we don’t see it that way? Just today, at work, I heard from a colleague: «Today is my day of struggle with the printer – it chewed my documents again.» You see? Even the battle with the printer can be a kind of celebration, especially if you win in the end.

Scroll through the calendar. Oh, here comes the first odd Tuesday of the month. What about making this day special? For example, the day when you finally wash those socks that are hidden in the corner of the closet. Don’t forget, any business can be an adventure if you approach it with humor!

Now about the holidays. After all, what is a holiday? It’s not just a birthday or New Year’s Day. A holiday is any day when you do something that brings you joy. Even if it’s just an attempt to make an omelet, which eventually turned into something between a pancake and chicken.

So, let’s stop confusing Monday with little Saturday. Let’s find something special in each day, something that makes it a holiday. Perhaps it will be a cup of aromatic coffee in the morning, or an evening walk when you meet the neighbor’s cat, which seems to behave more boldly than some people in interviews.

Remember, every day is an opportunity to do something special. And even if you can’t turn every day into a holiday, it’s worth it. After all, as a friend of mine who always confused the days of the week used to say, «Is it Monday? Great, so Saturday is coming soon!»
