When I was growing up, Sunday used to be the best day as it was the only day off in our school. We had half days on Saturdays. Also, in India, the concept of weekends off is relatively new. My father was a senior professor at a college and there was only one weekly off on Sundays.
With a change of jobs scene and many MNC’S that came up, the concept of Saturday and Sunday off started.
Why am I Thankful for Weekends?
My daughters also have a 5 day school with Saturday and Sunday off. As a mom, I feel the weekends are hectic and busy with everybody at home. But, there are many reasons for me to be thankful for the weekends-
On weekdays, I wake up at 5.30 am to get snack and lunch boxes ready. Kids leave for school around 7 and after that, I run around handling different chores. So, weekends give me a break from the normal schedule. I am thankful for weekends for the break I get from my hectic schedule.
Weekends also means fun outings with family. We make it a point to go out for a family lunch or dinner or just a movie outing every weekend. I am thankful for family time on weekends.
As an entrepreneur, there is no difference between weekday and weekend. But, there are ways to have fun and also handle our work effectively on weekends. I make sure to schedule my work in such a way that I don’t have to miss family time.
Weekends help us to be prepared for the week ahead as we are refreshed after the break. I am thankful for these two days which help me to recharge and unwind.
The weekend is just 2 days away, are you waiting for the weekend too? Let us know why are you thankful for weekends?

I am also thankful for weekends! Saturdays my husband usually has to work, but Sundays he’s off and that’s usually when we have family time. We either go out to eat or see a movie.

I’m signing under each word! Weekends really are wonderful! Although I’m a freelancer and most of my “weekend” days I’m still working, they give a nice sense of a different schedule 🙂

Weekends are great. I overextend myself often, so I don’t have that much time on the weekend, but I always enjoy the time that I do. Recently, I have had son success with splitting my weekends and having Fridays off instead of Saturdays.

I am definitely thankful for weekends! It’s my chance to sleep on a little bit, reset, and catch up with things (and people) I didn’t have time to during the week.

I am thankful for my off days. They do not fall on the weekends as I have Friday and Saturday off but I am thankful all the same. My free days are often those of fashion adventures, rest and opportunities to choose to go to work and work some overtime. I am free do to me!

Yes weekends and off days are fun..Thank you.
