a case of the Mondays

[No caption necessary.  Even dogs try to hide from Mondays.]

Let's be honest.  Who really likes Mondays? Unless it's the 3rd day of a three-day weekend, no one honestly looks forward Monday rolling around each week.  It's like something gets slipped in drinks during dinner on Sunday nights, making people grumpy, sleepy, and late on Mondays.

After the weekend, I don't want to workout on my way home from school.  I eat less-healthy [a.k.a. the delicious food I wish I could eat everyday] on Saturdays and Sundays, and it's always challenging to make the healthier food choices on Mondays.  I compile my to-do lists on Mondays, but I lack the energy to start them.  

Somehow, though, we have to look on the bright side that must be hidden within Mondays. We know that the silver-lining is not waking up early to return to work or the pleasant Monday morning traffic.  Mondays are, however, the beginning of a new [work] week and a chance to set the pace you want for the rest of the week . . . get it started on the right foot and accomplish the things that are important to you.

My Monday Accomplishments:

- Early morning walk with Bridget

- Spent some good time in the Word and in prayer.

- Vacuumed.

- Washed and vacuumed my car.

- 3.5 mile run.

Maybe next Monday I'll wake up with a better attitude and outlook than I did today so I don't have to write another post telling my self to get it together!

And remember:

This is the day that the Lord has made.  We will rejoice and be glad in it. 
Psalms 118:24
