Mondays.

I have never figured out how people can hate Mondays. After all, if we didn't have "Monday" some other day would have to start the week.

Mondays. A new start to a new week. Stretched out fresh and ready to fill with whatever the week throws at you. We enjoy New Years because it gives us a fresh, new, unblemished year ahead of us. In the same way, I enjoy Mondays...my "Mini New Year".

Weekends are great, especially when the kids are at home and still in school. I always loved my weekends so I could spend time with the girls. Now that they are grown, I don't need to look forward to weekends unless we plan on getting together on a weekend.

Sure, it is a work day, but really...many people work weekends now, so big deal. It is the beginning of the work week--for some. For others, it began Sunday.

You can have your weekends...those couple of days you dream about at the start of the week, that never quite live up to what you think they will. I will take Monday and every other day of the week as it comes.

In my book, every day is a day to look forward to. It is another day of life. Another clean slate to write on.
