3 Best Things About Mondays
By Kevin | June 23, 2009
It’s actually Tuesday now as I’m writing this (just barely). I can’t sleep, and I’m thinking about why people dislike Mondays so much. As if I’m one to comment on that, as an avid disliker of the work-week re-entry myself.
However, there are a few things I do actually like about Mondays. Here they are, in no particular order:
1: rest day – that’s right, in all my marathon training, Mondays are typically a rest day, after a long-run Sunday. It’s not that I like it because there’s no run workout. I like it because it means I’ve earned it.
2: refresh button – like the one you hit when web surfing, Mondays are always a fresh shot at another week. Possibility hasn’t yet been tainted by cynicism or haters. It’s there like a ripe banana, ready for you to peel. What you do with it is up to you, of course. Try peeling it from the bottom up this week…just because.
3: reflection – I find myself reflecting more about the previous week on Mondays than at any other time. That reflection serves me well as I enter another week of the crap that makes me crave the weekend in the first place. My anticipation and readiness are primed and ready, and my patience and tolerance are at their peak. I’m focused and determined, and dreaming with passion…
…then comes Tuesday.

Sorry to see you did not get the New York Lottery in your favor, but like you said, you’ll be there next year! Also, Mondays are great for many reasons. I for one, find that any day I’m able to get up and face a new day, I realize God has given me another chance to not mess up, that I’m given a clean slate.
Enjoy your Mondays every day. Look for the positives or something new and beautiful that you haven’t seen before and share it.
See you soon!
