General Discussion Thread 04.04.2025​

How are you doing, dear GrayViners? I hope you're having a wonderful morning!

There’s just something about Fridays, isn’t there? Even if there’s nothing special on the agenda, they bring a little spark of excitement—like a fresh breeze at the end of a long week. I always feel a burst of energy on Fridays, as if they come with a built-in promise of rest and relaxation.

But enough about me—what about YOU? Do you live for Saturday mornings, when you can finally slow down and savor the weekend? Or do Mondays give you a sense of fresh start? Share your favorite day and why in the comments below!

As usual, I look forward to reading your answers!

I enjoy Saturday’s because it’s the only full day myself, and Paul gets to spend with his youngest son. He’s off to Oklahoma University in the Fall. So we cherish the time.

I actually liked Mondays when I worked. Now that I'm retired, sometimes I don't even know what day it is lol

I enjoy Fridays. Probably vain but that has always been the day i get my hair done. That is a treat to myself. Raised 2 boys alone ,worked 20 hr days and that was all the money i allowed myself. And in summer we camped from Friday to Sunday Eve

Being retired every day is great. But we really love Sundays so we can visit with our friends at church while worshipping our Lord.

Do you have any Sunday traditions? I have a friend who always made a point to dine out after church on Sundays—it was their way of winding down the week! I'd love to hear what you like to do!

That sounds so special! Saturdays must be a treasured time for you, @Indygal462! May I know who Paul is? It must be bittersweet knowing his son is heading off to college soon. Do you have any fun plans for your next Saturday together?

That's a rare one, @NIBOR0! It seems like most people try to shake off the "Monday blues", but you’ve got a different take! Does it feel a bit like every day’s the weekend now?

Wow, it sounds like Fridays have always been your special day, and you absolutely deserve that treat @Arkie98 ! It’s so important to carve out time for yourself, especially with all you've done. Raising two boys and working those long hours—what a superhero you are! Camping sounds like a perfect way to unwind. Do you have a favorite camping spot, or did you enjoy exploring new places each summer?

That sounds great, @Ivanhoe! Keeping busy can really help make each day enjoyable. Do you have any favorite activities or hobbies you’ve been able to focus on lately? Maybe reading your favorite newsletter or playing TGV games?

It's always nice to have everyone gathered together. What kind of flowers are you planting, @Gibb? Will you send us a photo once they have bloomed? I'd really love to see!
