What is it about Wednesday

For those who work it is "hump day" and all down hill from there. You know half the week is gone and there is still half a week to go. Hmmmm one could almost relate it to whether you see the cup half full or half empty scenario. Are we happy because half the week has gone or disgruntled because there is still half a week to go. For all of us who claim the title of Domestic Godess it is of course just another day in the week.
If you research Wednesday you will find lots of interesting and forgetable facts but basically it boils down to being referenced to the Norse God Odin (who was also know as Woden or Wotan). There is some conjecture about him being the same deity known by the romans as Mercury thus we have Wednesday also known as Mercury day (Mercredi in French, other languages also have variables on this theme).

Of course who could forget the inevitable reference to "Wacky Wednesday". Wacky Wednesday is a book by Theo. LeSeig (aka Dr. Seuss). A quick synopsis of the book is that a boy wakes up and realizes that everything is not as it should be ie it is all "wacky". From shoes on hands to bananas in apple trees to airplanes on the road. A very wacky scene for sure.

So whether you are having a "hump day", a wacky day or just another day of the week have a wonderful day and remember a smile is a gift you can give everyday.

  1. Wednesday is my favourite day - Wonderful Wednesdays I call them.

    There is no hump day to define the middle of the week for me and how much I love these "ordinary" days - how I ached, cried and yearned for them in the days when life was out of control and I love them.

    Thank you Cheryl for reminding me that even ordinary days are special.

    Love and hugs,
    Linda.
