Saturday is excitement.
It is hopeful anticipation. It is a day of happy thoughts and positive enthusiasm. Its colors are lemon yellow and tangerine and it is the backdrop for warm childhood
memories of early morning cartoons and sugary cereal.
It is the day of white curtains and sunny window sills. It is a day of green fields and endless blue skies. Saturday is hopeful. It is a day for dreaming. It is a day for fun.
Saturday is for friendship and good times and laughter.
There is a certain anticipatory thrill to this day that the other days do not possess. Just the mention of this outstanding day will bring a smiles to most everyone.
Saturdays are for picnics and movie matinees, barbecued burgers and cherry pie ala mode. Saturdays are swims at the lake and walks on the beach.
Saturday is the most cheerful of days.
People have Saturday personalities they save for this wonderful day.
This day of high hopes and the bluest of skies.
and thank goodness it’s here.
HAPPY SATURDAY to you my friends!
