I make so many mistakes, slack off, or get tired and barely scrape by, that I’m always glad for a second chance. Yesterday, as I was journaling about my fatigued zombie-like state of last week and my lack of a productive weekend, I was struck by how many new beginnings I get. A new day, a new week, a new month, a new season.
Most of us don’t look forward to Mondays, but this week I see Monday with new eyes. It’s another chance. Another chance to start the week off strong, on the right foot. To get a flying start on math and spelling and reading. To make inroads into the history of the ancient Greeks. To brainstorm new scenes for Kai’s book, to make my world more robust and detailed. To finally get back on my cleaning schedule.
To start creating good habits to carry me through the times I’m tired, down or harassed by how much I have to do.
Happy Monday!
Happy Monday to you! I always say I love Mondays ’cause they’re the last day of the week I’m ahead of schedule! 🙂
Thanks for this positive reminder. Every day is a new start. 🙂
I just figured out *why* I’m so perky today. I actually slept all night through for the first time in days. So, prescription #2: Get enough rest!
🙂
Amen, sister!
I like the idea of establishing good habits when the going is easy so they’ll be firmly in place when the going gets tough. That’s what I’m trying to do on a number of fronts, not just with writing.
Going to bed at a reasonable time is in there too!
Happy Monday 🙂
Mondays, mornings, 1st of the month, Solstices, Equinoxes, when school starts, when school lets out, when Mom goes to sleep, when DH leaves for work. Yep–life is full of fresh starts. Huzzah!
