Mondays

We should feel bad for Monday, because everyone is always looking forward to Friday. We always hear “Thank Goodness its Friday”.” Or we hear

“Can’t wait until the Weekend”. We never hear “ Thank Goodness its Monday” or “Can’t wait until Monday”.



Now take “Wednesday” for example, everyone lovingly calls it “Hump day”, since it’s in the middle of the week and getting us closer to the weekend.

How about the “Weekend”, Saturday and Sunday, everyone is so excited its finally the weekend. Until Sunday evening that is, then the weekend blues hit, all you hear is “Great the weekend is over already, here comes Monday”.



No one ever really stops and gives Monday its credit.

You would think that Monday would have such a low sense of self-worth, with everyone complaining about Monday’s all the time.

If you stop to think about it, Monday is your best day, Monday is a great day. Monday never complains when we start over on our diets, because of the weekend fun we had. Monday, never

Complains, when we get a nice long Holiday Weekend that includes Monday. Monday never seems to mind that we use it for excuses to start something over or to stop doing something. You always hear “ When Monday comes, I’ll start over” or “ When Monday comes, that will be the day I quit”. Monday should be lovingly called “Start Over day” .



Perhaps instead we should see it as the “New Beginning Day”. When Monday comes it is a new beginning of the week, a new journey is how we should look at it. Every Monday, we should think about these Four things and answer them on “New Beginning Day” morning.

On Monday morning, we should stop and think, what is one thing that I am thankful for in my life, this New Beginning Day.

On Monday morning, we should stop and think, what was one good thing that happened last week that made me smile, that will brighten my day when I think about it, this New Beginning Day.

On Monday morning, we should stop and think, what is one thing that I am looking forwarded to in my life, this New Beginning Day.

On Monday morning, we should stop and think, what do I want to accomplish in my life this week before next New Beginning Day.
