monday monday


Every other day
Every other day
Every other day
Of the week is fine, yeah.

But whenever Monday comes
But whenever Monday comes
You can find me crying
All of the time.

Many have sung or written about Monday blues.

Last week I heard the principal of my daughters’ school speak and she said they have just released a study on the success of children from families who get up loving Monday morning v.s. those who get up cursing it.

Ok I know Mondays have  brain cobwebs that other days  don’t have and the house looks like a bomb went off from the weekend and you overdid the fun and underdid the work all weekend (or the reverse and now you are bitter) but …

let’s face it

she makes an excellent point

what is not to love about a beginning?

filled with every possibility

every chance to re invent

try harder

do better

and live

Don’t just have a great Monday, friends, make it a great Monday.

It can be anything you want it to be.
