Mondays

Monday is my least favorite day of the week. I love my weekends, as most of us do. Sunday evening I begin preparing myself for Monday. I used to dread it. I used to be "down" on Monday. Dragging myself into work, usually with a headache..barely surviving the day and LIVING for 5:00 to go home and start preparing myself for Tuesday. Does it sound like I hate my job? I don't. I actually love it and love my coworkers. So why do I dread going to work on Monday? I've pondered that for some time now. A verse keeps coming to mind, "THIS is the day the Lord has made, we will rejoice and be glad in it." Wishing for another time, another day, another place, another person, another life causes me to miss the opportunity I have today. In the words of Drs. Minnerth and Meier..."happiness is a choice". Being happy with today is a choice. Being happy on Monday is a choice. Looking for the opportunity God has for me today is where my focus needs to be, especially on Monday.
