I always feel more productive on Fridays...I think it might just be because everyone else is nicer...a kindler, gentler type of work...you can just feel the weekend upon you and it's all that 'catching up' that you're trying to do as opposed to starting new projects..I can definately say that I have never started something major on a Friday....or a Monday....Monday and Friday are the antithesis of each other..not only do they fall on either ends of the week..the attitudes are completely different...don't talk to me on a Monday...and don't critique any project I'm part of...or offer advice on how to make things better...just let me be and talk to me on Tuesday...don't ask me to stay late on Monday...cause I will have lost all my motivation and energy by 4 pm anyway that it will be a piece of crap...whatever it is you're looking for me to do...on the other hand...say anything you want to me on Friday...let's brainstorm how to fix things that are going wrong in specific areas of our department...let's share ideas about how we can all improve our work skills...and if i'm a couple of minutes past 5 pm...who cares!...I'm only a couple of minutes closer to two days off...so the secrets out...Friday is a day to get stuff done...guess I should stop rambling here and go to it...

My mother is the most beautiful woman I know..It's not just her looks...it's just the way she is...you know that person who always can make anyone feel like he/she is the most interesting person in the world? That the stories they're telling are the best the listener has ever heard? This is my mother. This is why she's beautiful. She is genuinely interested in what other people have to say..there are not a lot of people I have met in this world who are genuinely interested...It comes from imagination...always so inquisitive...finding interesting things in everything she sees...she's a firm believer in continuing to dream...she has a dream...and she doesn't let life squish it...she still works towards it...like it's attainable, even if it never is...guess that's the point of dreaming...can you think of anything more beautiful than a dream?..than believing in something?....that's what I mean about her being interested in everyone....she vaildates their dreams....she believes in them, even if it's only because she knows that dreams make the world go round...her smile is so warm...her large laugh fills a room and is contagious....and you know she's listening...
