My favorite Sundays are the ones where I get some time to rest and relax along with time to do some chores and some things I want to get done.

My least favorite Sundays are the ones where I accomplish nothing and count the hours till bedtime. Yesterday was not a good day.

My entire body ached and I was too tired to motivate myself to do much of anything. This is the worst feeling too. After a workweek of looking forward to all the weekend could potentially hold, it’s a sad feeling to know you’re wasting that precious free time.

All I can say is that maybe next weekend will be better.

Meanwhile, this is your Monday wake up call and reminder that we can’t wait for the weekend or for the perfect conditions to get things done or to be happy.

Let’s all look for ways to make today as happy as possible. If nothing else it might take the pressure off the weekends!

To start the week off right, here’s a photo of my house panther enjoying the new mattress pad I bought last week.

He thinks it’s perfectly divine and is pleased that his staff would think to buy him such a lovely gift. Scout knows how to live each day to its fullest!
