Good morning, Member

Hey, hey, dear GrayViners! We made it to the weekend. 🥳 I don’t know about you, but I’m ready to kick off my shoes tonight, pour something cold (maybe a little pink moscato), and ease into a quieter pace. Sometimes I journal, sometimes I just curl up with a good read and let the week melt away. Tell me—what’s your usual end-of-week routine? Do you go out, stay in, order takeout, call the grandkids?
