Monday Reminder – Life Is Short

Hello and good morning, friends. I always marvel when Monday morning rolls around so quickly as it has done this week.

Weekends are never long enough to pack in the things that need done and what we want to do. This weekend seemed especially short. It was spent close to home and was a nice balance of fun, relaxation and work around the house.

Mondays always remind me that life is short. We have a finite number of hours in this world and it’s important to use them wisely.

Do your job and do it well. If you aren’t happy, go find something you like better. Take pride in your work and in the things you do for yourself and your home.

Just remember not to get so caught up in what has to be done that you have no time to accomplish what you want to do and what makes your heart happy.

Scout didn’t wait for permission to commandeer this shelf. He seized the day and moved in the minute an opportunity presented itself. He knew what would make him happy and he took it!

Obligations are just that. You may be obliged to do them but don’t allow yourself to live such a life of servitude to other people and to the things you own that you have no time for yourself.

Go forth. Work hard. Play harder. Be the master of your own life and never stop searching for what will make your journey fun.

Your Monday Pep Talk

It’s Monday. It’s cold. The weekend was short and the week ahead will likely be long. Odds are you’re feeling at least a little tired, perhaps somewhat broken and overwhelmed. In the interest of not wishing our lives away by hoping the days will move quickly, I offer you this quote:

“You are worn and cracked and dented. And that is okay because I have never heard of a clean and shiny sword that won a war.”

Erin Van Vuren, Writer

Go forth, my friends. Do what you must to find joy in each day. Go to sleep every night satisfied that you did your best. Remember that tomorrow is a beautiful new day and one waiting to be discovered. You can do this – despite those cracks and dents.

Appreciate This Day

It’s Monday. For many of us, those two words mean just one thing: there are five days to survive to get to the weekend. 

It’s like we’re wishing our lives away.

I’m certainly guilty of this. The workweek can be busy and tiring. I like my job but have a rich and fulfilling life outside of work and look forward to living it. 

This week I’m committed to focusing on appreciating each day – even the long and frustrating ones. After all, we aren’t given many days in this lifetime and it’s best to not squander them wishing for another.

So, friends, I wish you the very best this day and the rest to come. Happy Monday!

Good Morning!

Good Monday morning! I hope you woke up on the bright side of the bed and are ready to conquer a new week!

Remember, plan your work and work your plan. Just don’t let that work consume your existence. You get just one life so be sure to live it and find ways to be joyful.

Did We Make It?

Four day workweeks are often the hardest. In this case, it has felt like four Mondays in a row and they have been the Mondayest of all the Mondays.

I think it’s finally Friday (right??) and, for that I am grateful. Whatever day it is and wherever you are, I hope you make the best of it! The weekend is just a few hours away so be sure to enjoy that too.

Back To Reality

Vacation is over and I’m headed back to work today. Luckily, I like my job and enjoy earning my own way in the world. All the same, I will miss the leisure time and having the opportunity to get stuff done during the week.

Scout has enjoyed it too. Here he is luxuriating with his favorite blanket and my book. If he looks irked, it’s because I woke him up taking his picture. I hate to tell him that we won’t get to relax with a book and a blanket today!

Happy New Year and Happy Monday. Here’s to new beginnings.
