Each day is different from the day before and the day after, each day different from its counterpart last week or next week. Like each human being, each day is an individual waiting for someone to appreciate for its own merits.

A week has seven days for a reason. Seven days gives each individual enough time to take small steps toward in the journey towards eternity. Each day is a stepping-stone across the river of the present into the pastures of the future. Each day is twenty-four hours, enough time to accomplish something if the individual does not waste time chasing shadows.

Sunday is the first day of the week. It is a day of new beginnings and fresh starts. It is a day to renew spiritual vigor and plan the coming week. Sunday is the time to look at the chores waiting your attack and plan your strategy. Sunday is the day to map out the coming week and assign task to the next six day of the new week.

A week has seven days for a reason. The first day is planning day for the week. Once a person plans the week, then the person has five days to accomplish the plan. The seventh day is to rest, reevaluate, and reward accomplishments.

Sunday is the first day of the week and Saturday is the last day. The rest of the week is sandwiched between the S-Days. Saturday and Sunday are the bread. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday are the tomatoes, cheese, meat, mustard, and lettuce of the sandwich. A sandwich without any of these items is a failure and does not taste very good.

Each day of the week has its own attributes, color, chores (duties), and name. What are the attributes of the seven days? What are the colors of the seven days? What are the chores of the seven days? What are the names of the seven days?
