What is this horrid thing called Monday but a cruel joke perpetrated by whichever of the gods the days of the week were named for? Actually, the Greeks named the days after the sun and moon and planets - which were all given the names of Greek Gods. Monday is Moon's day - hemera selenes. Makes sense. I want to sleep when the moon is about.
Friday, on the other hand, is the day of Aphrodite. Freya - the Teutonic godess of love. There must be something to this. I love Fridays. I adore Fridays and live for them.
Saturday is hemera Khronu, day of Cronus, who was worshiped as a harvest deity. Makes a little sense...We toil all week, hemera selenes through day of Aphrodite. The harvest most of us reap is Day of Cronus. Oh, how i long for it this instant!

How interesting! J
Never noticed you had another journal until today. I love Mondays but then if I had a job I would probably like Fridays too. I just like the feeling of a fresh start every week not that one Monday is that much different then any other Monday in my life. I'm not saying that is bad either. Paula
