I was at the grocery store today and while checking out, the clerk asked me how my day was going so far. I gave a positive review and tacked on the statement that generally I like Mondays. He gave me a funny look and said, “Well, you’re alone in that!”
Mondays have gotten a bad rap. For many people it’s when they start their work week again. For students, it means starting up with a new school week. I guess if you hate your job or hate school, you’d have a good reason to hate Mondays. Even if that’s the case, it may be the attitude that needs adjusting, not the day.
Monday isn’t the first day of the week – that position is already filled by Sunday. And when Sunday is a day of worship and rest, it can prepare you to hit the ground running on Monday with renewed energy and a cheerful heart even when the task ahead is unpleasant and daunting. At least that’s how it often works for me.
I’ve had hard Mondays, crabby Mondays, tedious Mondays and bluesy Mondays, but whatever kind of Monday I’m having, if it follows on the heels of a day of worship, good fellowship and a rest from my usual labors, I feel prepared to handle it, come what may.
How about you?
I’ll let you know in the morning if I’ve gone through with my plans to delete this post. But until then, assume nothing.
