Weekend Warrior

It's Saturday.

& as you know,

I am at work.

Normally very unoptimistic about my predicament,

but today is slightly different.

A Man walked in to the gym,

(a Man I see every saturday at 10:00 a.m.)

and said "Hello Penny," with a smile (as he usually did)

"Hello," I reply.

Then he says something that

surprisingly turns my frown upside down.

" Penny, the weekend warrior."

To my amazment this one little comment

meant more to me than apples in applesauce.

Considering I work every single weekend,

Friday, Saturday, & Sunday;

dealing with who knows what complaints

and angry people, drama, people's current crisis issues,

as well as my own.

Anyways,

the term "weekend warrior" meant not only

that this man notices all the craziness I deal with

& try too handle with extreme caution

 every weekend of my life,

but that I also come out on top.

Sometimes all someone needs

is a little recognition.

& that I did.

..Thank you Man.
