Hello friends and fellows bloggers,
Happy Monday to you.
It's almost like every Monday we have the chance to start our lives all over again.
Do you ever feel that way?
I remember when I was working. I really didn't look forward to Mondays. I always wanted the weekend to last at least a day longer because so much of my weekend was filled with catching up to housework, grocery shopping, church and friends and family. I never had time to really rest.
Now that I'm retired, Mondays still signal the start of a new week and a new list of things that need doing. But Mondays are all my own, not my employer's and for that I'm eternally grateful.
I've always been slow to get myself moving in the morning. I'm the same way with the days of the week. I'm 'warmed up' by Tuesday, lol. But these days I choose to view Mondays more positively. I use the day to take inventory and transition into all my weekly appointments and more. These days I still structure my time and try to accomplish and enjoy as much as I can each and every week.
I wish you all a wonderful Monday and a blessed week ahead.

Yup. Monday is my first day of the week!
As an old retired lady (who still remembers working days) I can relate completely to all you say. We had a brother-in-law who retired a few years before we did and he said he loved being retired because it was so relaxing and 'every day is Saturday now'. And I thought (but didn't say out loud) that if every day was Saturday I'd be working my fingers to the bone when we retired, because for us Saturday was the day for chores and errands and weeding and cooking and, and, and ....
(I really liked this brother-in-law, but couldn't help thinking that you could tell he had been spoiled by Bill's sister).
I'm grateful now that any chores we have to do can be parceled out over any day of the week!
