One night in October, I sat down to right an encouraging Monday post in my Facebook group…and, well, it basically turned into a blog post. 🤣 Oops. So, I decided to copy and paste it over here and save it for a draft post.

Today, Oct 12, 2020, my daughter actually went to school on a Monday! Monday’s have been one of my favorite days for quite some time, until recently. You see, I get a little overwhelmed by all the people and activity and noise over the weekend…On Monday, everyone goes back to school and work…and I get a little quite time. And, it’s generally when I am the most productive…until recently. Well, you know. The past few months have been…well…can we say CHALLENGING? My Monday’s are back, at least for now…and I made it a point to do some of the tasks that I put off and put off and put off until they just don’t get done!!! It’s such a weight off! Before this pandemic, I was getting into a lovely rhythm of doing certain things at certain times of day and it was working well. Now, if you’re a parent, you KNOW that no week is EVER the same…I have finally, after twenty years of parenting, learned to accept that. So, I have my little lists in my head, and on paper, and on apps, and calendars…and know that they may not all get done…and that just has to be ok! I’ve been forced into the place I had been trying to get to on my own…being JUST ENOUGH AHEAD on my work and, um…LAUNDRY…that’s it’s OK if I DON’T get something done. And it’s SO FREEING! And now I can spend more time on the things that I enjoy the most about my work! Well. I just sat down to send you all a little Monday cheer, and this has now apparently turned into an entire blog post…so, I guess maybe I’ll just copy and past this over to the blog as a draft for a bad Monday? So, if you see it come up on the blog…you can skip reading that post…I hope that your Monday has been good to you, as well. Much Love!

And, here we are on a late December Monday, back to being way behind…emails to reply to, plans to make, laundry piled up, fridge packed with leftovers. To say it’s been a rough couple of weeks, with no end in sight to the current situation and dynamic of our household would be an understatement. SO, it’s nice to find this draft post that fits so well into this Monday that, already at 9 am, is very different than anticipated. And, so, I take my own advice and accept what is. I’ll go to the shower now, and do my best to do the things that need to be done…and if they don’t get done, they will still be there on Tuesday.

It’s all about perspective! I pray you find that your Monday is fruitful and that you have a smile on your face today!

Much Love to you and yours!
