Some days are Wednesdays

There's frequently no way to know when you'll run into a day of the week that is difficult. Unless of course you can plan your difficult days in advance. There is a lot to be said for planning.  Wednesdays are sometimes called 'over the hump' days for those people challenged with the soul and scheduling constrictions of a nine to five job, Monday through Friday.  Wednesday, just like Tuesday and Thursdays are those days not considered significant enough to be mentioned every time someone mentions Monday through Friday. Often called 'the grind', Monday through Friday or M-F, clearly doesn't even acknowledge Wednesday.  This is the part about the culture where your day is invisible - so how could anyone know your story? Wednesdays are only known as 'over the hump' day by those people living the grind.  Is there not anything to grind on these other days?  Are they so insignificant that they can't be considered equally?  What is your Wednesday like today?  I hope it's filled with promise and connection.  If it's not, consider the fact that in just one more day you'll get to Friday and there's a lot to be said about that.

Coda: Everyone has to live through a Wednesday. It's a universal law.
