Mondays can be...well just ick

I know Mondays get a lot of bad rep. I mean, you have had a glorious weekend now you have to get back to your routine. It can be mundane and just plain no fun. BUT, that doesn't excuse a bad attitude. Trust me, I know it is hard, but there is always always a silver lining--a blessing or two or more that God has in store for us. Sometimes...or most of the  time we are too selfish to see those blessings, so lets write down things we are grateful for on this wonderful Monday. :)

I know Mondays can be rough, but it is all in your perspective. Choose to find the good and also remember that tomorrow is coming. And to quote from one of my favorite series "....isn't it nice to think that tomorrow is a new day with no mistakes in it yet?"
