What did you do this week?  What are you proud of?  What was your gift?

Did you create something?

Did you inspire someone?

Did you make a difference?

The way we answer, I think, determines how much Friday at 6 p.m. really feels like Friday at 6 p.m. (or 5:00, or 11:00, depending on your work).  We all have a gift to give, and the knowledge that we have just given it is what makes the weekend feel so good: we have given our gift, in however big or small a way, and now we can rest.

The reverse is also true: if we haven’t given our gift, the arrival of the weekend doesn’t feel so good.

At the start of every week, set out to make the weekend feel great.
