Fridays always haven’t been the end of my week. Many of my Army Fridays were just another day to put on a flak vest, helmet, 21 rounds for my .45, and 360 rounds for my M16. In graduate school Fridays started before sunrise and 3-day weekend shifts working in the emergency room to cover family expenses. I had a ritual to stop in a park before I went to the hosptial, and take a short walk around the playground watching and listening to my kids that weren’t there, but in my own way spending time with them. We create simple rituals that help us through times when life disconnects us from those we love. What rituals are important in your life today?
