It says שבת משוש לבנו נהפך לאבל מחולנו, gone is the joy of our hearts, our dancing has turned into mourning.

That is, many people get so accustom to what they do during the week that when Shabbos comes, they feel like it interferes. They can’t look at their phones, they can’t earn money, they can’t smoke, they can’t drive and the like. We must realize what a special gift Shabbos is and do specific actions each day in anticipation of the coming Shabbos.
