Spring is here.  Yesterday officially marked the start of a new season.  And it could not have come soon enough.  I think we are all looking for a little relief from the struggles of winter.  And we can all be thankful that it is Friday once again.  But today is Good Friday, so some of you may already be enjoying the beginnings of a long weekend.  If so, good for you.  But I am here to remind everybody that every Friday is Good Friday, and this is why!

TOP FIVE REASONS FRIDAYS ARE GOOD (I WOULD SAY GREAT BUT THAT DEFEATS THE PURPOSE OF THIS THEME)

1. Tomorrow is Saturday.  Call me Captain Obvious, but this is a big plus in my head.  Knowing that the next day I can sleep in and wake up to do whatever it is that I want to get done is an incredible feeling.  And although some of us work on Saturdays, it’s never a bad time for a weekend.

2. The Ride Home. Whether you drive, walk, run, train, or bus to and from work, the commute home on Friday has got to be amazing.  It is like the weight of the world is lifted off your shoulders for the next 48 hours.  You can relax and unwind, mentally preparing yourself for the great weekend that lies ahead.

3. Paychecks. Though the pay schedule varies depending on where you work, I think it is safe to say that Friday is Pay Day.  It’s the day when all of that hard work finally gets rewarded, and the bank account gets a well deserved boost.  Now you can pay off those bills, go out to a nice dinner, or just save up from something a little bigger down the road.

4. Casual Dress. Now this may not go for everyone out there, but who can ignore the classic Casual Friday dress code on a discussion of Friday perks.  Depending on where you work, who you work for, and what your schedule is like, maybe you can get away with jeans, or at least get out of that suit today.  It makes everything that much easier to deal with.

5. The Friday Five.  Last but not least, how can I leave off the best part about every single Friday, at least for the past 23 weeks.  The Friday Five, keeping your work week exciting now for 6 months, has to make the list.  And I hope you continue to enjoy it for another 6 months and beyond.

Happy Friday, Happy Easter, Happy March Madness…catch ya next week!
