Monday's

Usually on Sunday at about 4:00 p.m. I start complaining about having to work the next day. So this new year I decided to try and be a little more positive about the dreaded MONDAY. I 'm trying to look at it differently, I thought, "Now I have a whole new week to accomplish things." Looking at Monday with new possibilities made my Sunday night more enjoyable. By the time my alarm went off, I was ready to start my week on a positive note.

I didn't even let the 3 cars that cut me off irritate me. I tried out my new bluetooth (haven't been able to talk while I'm driving because of the hands free law.) I called my husband twice, my kids once (Jullien's home sick today), and the school to excuse an absence. I actually got some things done on my way. By the time I made it to work, there was no stress, anger or aggression. "Wow...this might work," I thought as I sat down at my desk. One of my bosses was a little edgy, but that didn't even get me down. He was yelling about something someone said and I just felt like laughing. Yep, definitely weird...this positive Monday thing might work! Try it next week and see what happens, you might have a great Monday too!

Hi Lisa. . .in from SITS. I know what you mean. Every Sunday, I get this sinking feeling in my stomach at the thought of going back to work on Monday. I felt better about it when I found out that my Grandma told me that she always felt the same way too. . lol. I enjoyed your blog. There's lots to read and look at! Hope you have a nice week!

Good idea Lis! I think Monday always has a bad connotation to it!

We dont' have the handsfree law yet. I loss my bluetooth a month after I bought it. It hurt my ear though, so no loss.
