Manic Monday

Ahh, Monday. Last week, I announced via Facebook that I have your back, being my only day off. Today, I plan to take full advantage of you! Don't worry, I'll be gentle...

Normally, I use my one day off a week to relax and simply do... well... nothing. Today, however, I feel anxious. Anxious to do something with my day. Anxious to do something with my life. It's been an interesting week, to say the least, and I'm craving some ever so delicious progress in my life. So, let's eat!

My day has already started with some Buster lovin' and music. Pretty good start, I'd say! Now, I'm thinking a good stretch is in order. Not only does my broken-down body need it, but there's something really beautiful about a good stretch. It's like telling your body and mind, Relax... focus... this day is yours... and it most certainly is.

I have a list of activities I'd like to complete today, and I'm diving in head first. Today, for me, is a wonderful, new day. Every week, I see a mountain of complaints posted on good ol' Facebook about Monday. Being the one day I look forward to every week, it's only natural for me to feel the opposite. But, why can't we all look forward to today? Why does it have to be such a terrible day? I think it's all a matter of perspective. Yes, it's easy for me to enjoy Monday, since I'm off all day. However, I look forward to every day. Every day is a new chance to do something new, be someone new, create possibilities and conquer goals. Whether you're starting your work week, or ending it, it doesn't change that fact. It's still a bright, blessed, brand new day.

So, let's ALL dive in with a new perspective! Today doesn't have to be horrendous, it can actually be a wondrous day, filled with joy and love! Change your mindset, and you can change your attitude. Change your attitude, and you can change your perspective. Change your perspective, and you can change the day's outcome. It's really all up to you. Choose to be happy, and happiness will choose you. It really can be that simple. And on that note, I'm off to conquer today, with a smile on my face! And the next day, and the next... because I choose to. What will you choose?
