Hi, Tess. I’m so behind in my blog reading… Look how late I am to this party! I don’t care; I’m commenting, anyway.

I used to absolutely DREAD Mondays. Sundays had better be spent at home, just so I could soak up every nnnth of the comfort before heading into “the world.” What a horrible awful icky feeling, to be that needy, that focused on what I didn’t want to happen: a Monday.

Now? Now I just love every single day! Mondays are no different than Saturdays or Wednesdays or birthdays! EVERY day is wonderful, and I awaken to each and every one of them with happiness and joy in my heart. Granted, I might awaken s-l-o-w-l-y on some days and a little achy from creaking bones or a little over-tired from the days before, but I’m always always always happy.

Being grateful is one of the best ways to make your life better. I had to force myself at first, but now it’s second nature. I give thanks almost every day.

I've instituted "Me Time Mondays" over here. Things like reading a book, rather than the computer, or using "pampering" skin care items like scrubs on my face and hands, etc. were longed for and always felt like they were put off because I was busy doing stuff for others. So, after a weekend spent being "completely there" for everyone and after the first day of a five day workweek, I take care of me on Monday nights.

Tess -- Well, I'm really late for this party, but I loved your thoughts about Monday. This isn't my favorite day of the week. It always brings a certain amount of anxiety with it. Your tips, however, are an excellent way for me to make my Mondays a bit less anxious. Thanks. Sara B. Healy’s last blog post..Laugh Away

Just being is another way to attune to magic in your life. It is always there, waiting for you to notice it. As you rediscover what it means to be present, you sense the magic emerges from within. Liara Covert’s last blog post..Maharishi Mahesh Yogi & 12 ways to access soul

Wonderful thoughts, Tess.

I’ll be back on Mondays for sure (sorry I missed yesterday, Presidents’ Day Holiday and all. )

I actually quite love Mondays since my darling angel child goes back to school and I get to my “me” time again. So peaceful in my little house and home routine here.

Be of Service. Look for ways you can be helpful to others. When you lift someone else up you’re lifted as well.

Drop Resentments. Call, email or text someone you are in conflict with. Especially if it’s your teenager. Take the weight off your shoulders.

Those two, Tess are just so especially wonderful to me today.

The second one, if only we all could get a little closer to making this our reality. Negative feelings between people serves no good purpose at all.

Boy, I always feel so refreshed after coming here. A wonderful flow of energy. THANKS!

See you soon.

Annie, You have the secret to life. It's never as bad as we think it is. Cheryl, I like your idea of beginning a new task on Mondays. I think I'm going to do that. Stacey, You certainly know how to walk your talk. Monday mornings being free is a great way to begin the week. Alik, You coworkers are blessed to have you!

Tess,

I love your point about dropping resentments and the specific suggestion to do that by calling someone I’m in conflict with.

Mondays are magical for me when I have to work because I’m grateful for the blessing of work and income, and magical when I don’t have to work because I know others are stuck in offices. Either way I love Mondays!

It’s also pure magic to wake up and realise I’m alive, and that itself is a miracle. Just to breathe and hear the birds sing… life is magic.

I make Mondays magical by keeping the morning free for me – to write, start slowly, clean house. This is promise I made to myself when I quit the corporate world, and I’m so happy I did. I no longer dread Sunday nights and Monday mornings.
