Many people (including my family) get jittery on Sunday night and stressed on Monday morning.
Sometimes I think that's our mind's way of waking us up, that the weekend's relaxation is waning, and the new week is calling us to be alert and engaged for the tasks we are called to do, for the fresh opportunities, and even the unknown challenges, waiting for us.
It's easy to be thankful when all goes well in our lives. But even when all is awful, I believe hope lies beneath the muck, waiting to be uncovered.
Each coin has two sides.
Each mistake brings fresh knowledge and wisdom we can apply to "next time." But so does each effort we accomplish well, that effects the goal or at brings us closer to attaining it.
If you can't be heard, you can at least be kind and sincere and leave a trail of positivity in your wake.
Not everyone will like you. But you can always like yourself and no one can take that away from you.
If you're struggling with loss of any kind (job, finances, health loved ones), be gentle with yourself and pursue those things that bring you joy, even if joy is fleeting.
Night always follows day. But day follows night, too. Both have their charms, if we are discerning enough to see them.
Our way is not always the best way. It's OK to let go. But it's also OK to stubbornly hang on until we're proven otherwise. Sometimes, we actually are right.
Just because someone serves up poison doesn't mean you must drink it. You can always refuse the cup.
Besides, dark roast coffee tastes so much better.
Happy Monday!
