Thanks to Elisabeth Ellington for the mentor. Also credit to the bloggers from whom she borrowed the original format: Multifaceted Musing and A Day in the Life.
The Way I See It

Ugh I had that same experience on Tuesday–suddenly realizing IT WAS ONLY TUESDAY when it had felt like Wednesday all day. No wonder our weeks felt long: we had two Wednesdays! Your goal for the weekend is also my goal for every weekend: restore. As much as possible, restore. I also like “rebalance” and need to think about how my weekends offer that. Glad you found some inspiration today!
