Saturday Is Recharge Your " Battery " Day.

Sometimes after any tough week, those days are marvelous.

For so many years I worked six days a week, with just a little bit of time off..small weekend. Now that I don't have set working hours, my days are still somewhat busy and I look forward to the weekend none the less.

But what is interesting, is how everything is geared toward the weekend. It is almost as if a traffic warden is steering us towards our " rest bay ". Here in Austria, all the shops close on Saturday lunchtime until Monday morning. Should you forget that a weekend is looming, just being in any grocery shop will soon set you right. Everyone shops as if they could not get more for weeks.

I must confess, that I usually equate a weekend shop with chips, chocolates and all the yummy foods that I try to deny myself during the week. It would be interesting to see the stats of grocery shops. Do they sell more of these items at weekends ?

Of course the best pointer toward the weekend is the TV. Some stations put nothing of interest on ( maybe they want us to do outdoor things ) while others put all the best movies on, so that those chips and chocolates can be had with glee.

Yet the most important recharge for any of us, is to read what I call " soul enhancing " stuff. You know, some call it self-help while others call it silly. But with our busy lifestyle, we don't get a chance of participating in the old-fashioned way of recharging ourselves...Being with family, visiting friends, going to church or having a hobby such as knitting.

We have forgotten how to stop and smell the roses, and often those books are great at reminding us of how to deal with our stressful life. Yesterday I discovered another gem. As I have told you before, I love reading the Huffington Post, and now they have a new section...the " Oprah " section. It's is a smorgasbord of " Oprah-esque " stuff, that is a delight to delve into. Try it, it is Saturday after all !

I will also put some links to Self-Help books from Amazon.
