The Story
It began with a simple greeting.
Happy Friday!
“But it’s Tuesday.”
“Every day is a good day —
so make it a Friday.”
The weight
“Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.”
There was a season I carried tomorrow on top of today. I woke already tired from a day that hadn’t happened yet. I prayed like I was informing God of an emergency He’d somehow missed.
And slowly I learned what the greeting is really about. Not pretending the week is easy. Not calling Tuesday something it isn’t. It’s remembering that the worst Friday in history was not the end of the story.

Good Friday was the darkest day in history.
And now, every day we live in Him is a Happy Friday.
In his own words
I never set out to start anything. I just started greeting people with “Happy Friday,” and watching their faces do the same thing every time — a little confusion, then a smile they didn’t plan.
The correction was always the same. “It’s Tuesday.” And that was the opening — the only line I needed. Every day is a good day, so make it a Friday. Because Good Friday is the day Jesus died, and Happy Friday is the day we live.
It was never a business plan. It was a greeting that got out of hand, in the best way.
Dylan Raubenheimer — though most people just call him Happy Friday.
