I love Mondays~ Don't get me wrong, I don't love seeing the weekend end, but I do love the possibilities that Monday brings. It is like a fresh start every week. Each Monday I take stock of what I still have sitting on my "to do" list and that goes at the top of my new list for the week. I then look at what has inspired me over the weekend and try and add a few things that I can do to give me a sense of growth, or accomplishment, or improvement. Sometimes they are indoor things (especially when the weather refuses to behave in a spring-like manner). Sometimes, there are things in the gardens that need work. Sometimes there are run-around errands. And sometimes, I need to encourage myself to simply slow down, enjoy the here and now, and, perhaps, just sit with one of my boys, enjoying their company. Once in a great while, my handsome husband and I book a "date night", which I always look forward to. After we do take the time to spend an evening focusing on just us, we always wonder why we don't do it more often.
So, I am off to start my day, and will be back later, in search of more inspiration from each of you!
Have a lovely week my friends,
xo

Beautiful thoughts...I love Monday as well for all that the week might hold.
You are AWESOME! I love this and might try to put it into practice myself. Thank you for "inspiring" much!
Happy Monday to you!
wonderful thoughts indeed! i don't usually feel quite so hopeful on mondays, but for some reason, this week i do. perhaps you've had a small part in that. thanks!
I love Mondays too...fresh starts, new lists, a little bit of quiet around the house...
Love your blog!
What a great way to start your new weeks. I, too, love the promise of Mondays...:)
I love your attitude about Mondays. I get so overwhelmed so easily and I wonder to myself "why"? I think I'll try today to look at Mondays through your eyes and see what I come up with. Thanks for the encouraging words :)
we are the same! i love mondays too! a day to begin our steps to create what the week-end gifts inspired us to do...
You always have a fresh, up-beat way of looking at things. I too love Mondays~ the house is very quiet, I can plan out my week, get things done and look at the possibilites for the week ahead. My husband leaves tomorrow for two weeks- so lots of projects on my list.
I like this monday morning mantra! So inspiring and so perfect! I have to admit I don't like Mondays, it means that start of a new work week, however, I do like your spin on it and I think I need to change my attitude! thank you!
LOVE THIS!! But you MUST know that your blog is one that inspires me the most! Happy Monday!
Lovely to stop by for a visit via French Blue. You have a wonderful blog and I like Mondays too. You can never tell how the week will go on Monday, or can you? Hope your week is great.
i like the "slowing down a bit" & "enjoying the here and now".....so true.
it's very nice to meet you...
and a Happy (belated) Mother's Day!
