A Welcome Weekend
I remember back in February, I had been “set free” by my former
employer for about two weeks. I was well on my way to getting my
consulting practice in full swing. I dreaded weekends. Nobody worked.
Everybody partied. It was a constant distraction. I loved “geeking
out” and ramping up during the week and building my business. A little
coding, a little marketing, and a lot of planning. Monday's were the
days when everyone went back to work and I could too. Well, a short
six months later and I too look forward to weekends. A time when I
can, like everyone else, relax a bit. Don't get me wrong – I still
like Monday's, but oh how I relish the weekend.
Today started out a perfect day. The weather finally cooled off this
week. (although this year has been relatively cool for Texas) The sky
was blue – the air was cool. The wife slept in and I had a chance to
pour through some mailing lists I had been neglecting. I took a ride
on the Harley to a little taqueria for some breakfast tacos. Oh, how I
love to ride my
Harley. It's such a great feeling.
Anna and I are headed out to Emma Long Park for a quick camping trip with Anna's
family. We're in charge of dessert – marshmallows, Jiffy-Pop Popcorn,
and Smores.
I know I'll come home tomorrow fully rested and ready for another
exciting Monday. Whatever you do this weekend – make the most of it.
You only get two days to recharge for the following five. Life is too
short to let them slip by. I'm going to make the most of mine. I hope
you do too.
