The sun is shining. My kitchen plants are growing like weeds as the sunshine and warmth it brings seems to have broken them out of their winter slumber. I’ve broken out the sandals and am refusing to believe it’s anything but sandal weather even if my feet get slightly cold from time to time. Today it just feels like the world is filled with growth and wonder. I know it’s Monday and some of you probably hate Mondays but I have always found Monday to be one of my more enjoyed days. I love the feeling of a clean slate. Mondays bring opportunities for action and preparation. Mondays are great!
I’m weird, I know but I believe that each day has possibilities for good. Even those hard days we cannot even look at have moments within that keep us going. The trick I think is how we view it. If we look at Monday as the first of five days to get through until the weekend it’s going to be a long road. On the other hand, if we look at Monday as the first of five days where we can work at living well, impacting others and truly engaging in life we begin to see each day as a gift.
Let’s not wish our lives away but instead embrace each day fully with whole hearts. When we do that we impact the world in a positive way and can’t help but shape our communities as we go. That’s a good thing, right? It would seem that Mondays aren’t so bad after all…
