Monday's

Monday’s are always a challenge. For me, it is a period of change that comes every week, but is somehow also filled with so much routine.


It is day of change. I change from the relaxing spirit of setting my own schedule to the schedule imposed by commitments from work and school.

Monday’s are now, for many, considered the first day of the week. Don’t we all seem to refer to Monday’s as the start of a new week? When did that happen in the world? Monday’s begin differently for me as it is the first day of the week that I need to set an alarm, pack a lunch, or have to check my email.

Even those that don’t have the same commitments that I have to the office, probably have routines that change because it is Monday. It is a change from the rest of Sunday into a day when doctor’s offices are open, insurance agents and financial counselors will set appointments to meet with us, and the list goes on and on…..

What is it about the change and routine of life that we are to learn?

Routine is such a blessing to me as sometimes I just can’t take another minute of not knowing what to expect, but where I mess up is in getting caught up in the desire to control my situation. For me, it is in changing that I’ve learned the most. With that said, I’ve needed the routine of school and of life, to gain the confidence and wisdom to handle the change.

Interesting, how it is all connected.

Wow, I really love Monday’s.

Talk to you again soon,
