I love the weekends. Sunday is one of the very best days of the week, worshiping with my church family.Merryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17501893347195105854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2380441245670839923.post-33933684744450984172010-01-22T15:20:36.006-05:002010-01-22T15:20:36.006-05:00Hi Carol:

People make themselves happy. People often use material objects and other people in order to achieve happiness but happiness stems from within. <br /><br />The Greek stoics believed that one should learn to find happiness in the simplest things of life. As such, no one would be able to take your happiness away. <br /><br />There is a classic story about a stoic. Alexander the Great was passing through a village in which a famous stoic was said to live in a bath tub. <br /><br />Alexander stood tall in front of the man resting in his bath tub ‘home’ and said: “If I could not be Alexander, I would be you. I am rich and powerful. I will give you any one thing you want.”<br /><br />The stoic said, “Then please move a little to the left. You blocking my light.”<br /><br />Don’t worry. Be happy.<br /><br /><br />VinceVincehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12707773426729777989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2380441245670839923.post-65920387047523239582010-01-22T14:15:58.187-05:002010-01-22T14:15:58.187-05:00I agree with all of your comments.

But since my kids all have odd work schedules, "weekend" is different for everyone. So to me, the definition of "weekend" is when I take a breather from the 7-5 schedule to do something where I don't have to get dressed and put on makeup. Whether it's a "traditional" weekend or other days, we just need to take time to unwind and refill our energy.Carol Stewardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16560861696543006401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2380441245670839923.post-40732961724847404952010-01-22T12:44:21.394-05:002010-01-22T12:44:21.394-05:00I love the weekend, but actually, for the most par...I love the weekend, but actually, for the most part, work is easier than being home LOLPamela Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05834270662017246137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2380441245670839923.post-52339512525791252542010-01-22T11:25:52.305-05:002010-01-22T11:25:52.305-05:00Carol,

Early on, I realized that, other than church on Sunday, every day was the same. Now I celebrate the end of the five-day work week in little ways that make me happy. :)Debby Giustihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09463321611980242375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2380441245670839923.post-39259756734636112642010-01-22T10:14:26.032-05:002010-01-22T10:14:26.032-05:00I don't think a weekend makes everyone happy b...I don't think a weekend makes everyone happy but it does for most people. A weekend doesn't make me unhappy but for me it's no different than any other day of the week. I'm a retired school teacher and weekends are harder to navigate because there are so many extra people out and about at the stores no matter what time of day. On weekdays I can go out and get my chores/shopping done easier.EllenToohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06114930219445131840noreply@blogger.com
