This is brilliant. Thanks for starting (I originally typed staring, which is how I usually start my days) my Thursday off with a laugh.
ahhh the ode to Thursday, my favorite day as well, firmly planted as the launch pad for the weekend, yet still safely in the week for those not quite so adventurous to treat it as (dare I say it?) just another day.
ORIGIN Old English Thu(n)resdæg [day of thunder,] translation of late Latin Jovis dies ‘day of Jupiter’ (god associated with thunder): compare with Dutch donderdag and German Donnerstag.
No wonder we love it…
Thanks for the reminder Meg
Thursdays are my favourite day of the week too. I feel like I can do more or less in my evenings because Friday is just one more day, and if I have to, I can sit through a Friday bleary-eyed (but I cannot do that at the beginning of a week or it snowballs into utter exhaustion by Friday).
High fives for Thursdays!
Happy Thursday Meg!
Honestly! 5:00 a.m. and were bright, witty and profound. I hate you. :)
Must say I am a Thursday girl myself. All that Friday anticipation and none of the “weekend is already half done” drivel.
I am copying this and putting into my journal – to keep!
With the appropriate credits, of course.
Well put…

Greetings from your fellow lifelong Thursday-lover!
Everyone hates Mondays. But it’s Tuesday I hate. Tuesday is far enough from the past weekend that you feel lost in the droll of the week and so far from the coming weekend that you feel like you’ll never get there. I’m always so happy when that day ends.
Okay. Good Thursday! Happy Thursday! The sky is blue and the sun has come back to Burnaby. It must like Thursdays too. :)
I love this, I put in my wall, for saying thanks to God for Thursday!
