Day 78. What Colour is Your Monday?





I have not always liked Mondays. When I worked full-time, it was wonderful to have the weekend off, but how hard to get back into the swing of getting up early, facing traffic, and settling down to the routine at a desk on Monday morning. I found myself, along with a whole bunch of other people, feeling the blues... on Blue Monday.

Then I heard someone years ago say when we decide to have a Blue Monday, it translates into the fact that we're in actuality spending one seventh of our lives in a state of depression or unhappiness or moodiness.

Oh my, what an eye opener for me. Looking at it from that perspective, I knew that's not how I wanted to spend any part of my life. I changed my attitude and began to look for ways to celebrate my Mondays. I started living my life more beautifully.

Wishing you happy Mondays,
Brenda

  1. I love Monday, it is the beginning of a new week. I always think I have a whole week ahead to get a lot accomplished. It doesn't always happen but I can try again next week

  3. It feels PEACH! The landscape has sort of a soft, golden peach glow to it.

    The air is a gentle warmth, and my mood is well.... peachy.

    It was fun thinking of how to color my day. Thanks for the thought.
