“Time isn’t a straight line. It’s
all… bumpy-wumpy. There’s loads of boring stuff. Like Sundays and Tuesdays and
Thursday afternoons. But now and then there are Saturdays. Big temporal tipping
points when anything’s possible.” ~Dr. Who
Every week needs a day that’s full
of possibilities. A party? A concert? A day at home with countless options? A
day where you can stay up late or go to bed early, do absolutely nothing or go
on a fabulous adventure, get deep into a craft project or binge watch a
favorite tv show. The day is there just waiting for you and the choice is all
yours what you do with it. It’s a “temporal tipping point when anything’s
possible” as Dr. Who says. And for my family, and many others, that day tends
to be a Saturday.
Saturdays have always been special
for me. Most weeks they fill up fast, but it’s always good reasons. It’s when
we have birthday parties or family adventures. It’s usually when my craft sales
end up being or a musical event. Then sometimes we have the rare occasion when
we have absolutely nothing planned and we get some house work done, take on a
project, or play games. No matter what we end up doing, Saturday tends to be
full of laughter and celebration, of one kind or another.
Saturday is an interesting day.
It’s the end but also the beginning. It can salvage a bad week or set the tone
for the new one. It truly is a tipping point, full of possibilities and
opportunities for change. I think it’s important to have a day of the week
where anything is possible. A day when we take time to celebrate life. Whether
it’s at a party or enjoying the quiet of a day unplanned, take some time this
week to believe that anything is possible, especially on a Saturday.
