Live every day like it's Taco Tuesday. -unknown

Tuesday's child is full of grace. -unknown

From the ridiculous to the sublime. That's what life is, isn't it? Yes, there are days of the week that offer rest and social gatherings, but it seems Tuesday has its own special qualities.

It's one of the best days to fly. After an uninspirational Monday, your sleeves are rolled up for Tuesday. Your checklist is ready for this week's goal. Intentional singular noun, btw.

People give the glory to Wednesday or Friday (in the work place), but Tuesday's are underrated, don't you think? Whoever came up with Taco Tuesday is pretty smart. It's the moniker of establishments serving tacos pretty much everywhere in Southern California. Where we live, a regular taco truck provides all the Mexican fare you could want. Especially tacos. On Tuesdays.

I once said in my youth, that I could eat a taco everyday. Back then, Taco Bell and Jack in the Box were my go-to places. Ahem. Fast forward to a more mature digestive system that now parses out whether or when I can indulge in such gastric luxuries. I happen to love spicy food but not so hot that it can't be enjoyed without tears. Fortunately, I can still manage a good salsa.

I forgot to mention that Tuesdays are special to me. All those other days are spent developing and working on materials that I teach on Tuesday. A big shout out to my students! I know how diligent you are and truly appreciate seeing your progress as our calligraphy journey unfolds. Life is good.
