I know this is contrary to popular opinion but I really do
like Mondays. When there is a holiday on a Monday my whole week is thrown off. When I come back on Tuesday, I still think
it’s Monday.. It is such an important
day when you are fortunate enough to have weekends off. I know how many years I
worked two and three jobs and never had a weekend off and used to envy the
people on Friday that leave and come back Monday morning. I used to think two whole days together leaving
on Friday coming back on Monday, what a luxury that would be. So finally when I
was able to just have one job…finally… Monday and thru Friday and had a weekend
off, I looked like my dog does when they go outside and roll in the grass on
their back and look like it’s the most wonderful feeling in the world. Or the
first time you sit on the most incredible mattress in a fancy hotel with a down
comforter.. the feeling of luxury and just complete contentment, you just can’t
wipe the smile off your face and you can’t believe that any one is so lucky to
have 2 days off in a row. I think in the beginning I squandered the time
because I was not use to having that much time, now it seems like there isn’t
enough time to get everything done before Monday comes. How forgetful and greedy we get after having
such a good thing for so long. But nowadays I feel really guilty, I have so
many friends that worked for companies 20, 25 and 30 years who are part of
layoffs across the country and would give anything to have even one job, even
if it was 7 days a week. They find themselves with too much time right now and
through no fault of their own the world has changed so quickly and so tremendously
that we just can’t keep up and fathom why. So this is why I like Monday mornings,
it reminds me that I still have a job, I still have a purpose, I still have a
place to come too that provokes my creativity, keeps me on my toes, pushes my
brain to the limit and makes me want to jump up and down on that highly plush
mattress and comforter and scream YES thank you thank you thank you!
