😳 Wake up, wake up, wake up... it’s Thursday

"Wake up, wake up, wake up, it's the 1st of tha monthhhh!"

I know what you're thinking, and yes, "tha" is not the proper way to spell that word. But that's how Bone Thugs-N-Harmony spelled it back in '94 so that's how it's gon' be spelled. At least on days like today. Every 1st is special, often times new beginnings hatch, your mindset shifts, and some people even get paid.

It's typically one of my favorite days of the month. But, TODAY? Today is also my favorite day of the week. Thursday. And maybe like once or twice a year or so, they fall on the same day. Which makes today, Thursday, September 1st, super duper special (trust me).

For Lack of a Wetter Bird, today is one of the best days of the year.

From the archives, here's a thing I wrote about Thursdays way back when we first started Grits & Gospel in early 2018. Also, here's the "1st of tha Month" video. Consume them both and you'll be one dangerous MFer today!
