Fridays are the average persons favorite day because it means the weekend...but I am not average and that is not why Friday is my favorite day. Fridays are my favorite day because I get to wear JEANS! Yes, jeans! The school where I teach allows their teachers to wear jeans EVERY Friday of the school year if we pay $25. Best $25 I've spent in a long time and it is worth every penny. Although I do love the challenge of picking out my "teacher clothes" every morning and trying to maintain the professional look, while incorporating my own sense of style...it does get tiring! I have invested in my professional wardrobe, but it still needs more pieces, so sometimes I run low on pieces and ideas. It always seems that I run low on ideas towards the end of the week, then BOOM; it's FRIDAY and it's time to bust out the jeans, which I have plenty of. Pair my jeans with a nice blouse, my favorite black caged sandals (soon to be black booties), and get ready to finish off the week strong with my students.
Fridays give me a chance to relax in style, renew my outfit ideas, and feel like a 22 year old again with something as simple as a pair of jeans. Being appreciative of this small amenity made me think of other areas in my life that I need to show more gratitude. You never realize how much certain luxuries mean to you until they are gone, so you have to learn to enjoy what you have, when you can, and as much as you can. Remember, there is no blessing to small to say thank you for! I have learned to be thankful for the days when there is no traffic and I can ride smoothly to work, the days when my students remember how to divide correctly and feel proud of themselves, and the days where everything goes wrong, but God does something to remind that the bad day wont last forever, like a smile from a stranger. All small things, but all reasons to be appreciative, just like on Friday's with my jeans. So be grateful everyday, rock your cutest pair of jeans when you can, and have a 'Feel Good Friday'! ;)
