On Waking Up and Realizing It's Monday

When I was working, Monday came too quickly.

I would drag myself to work, and if I found a friend who was just as cranky as me,

I would commiserate with that friend about the evils of Monday,

and everything was out of joint.

And then came Tuesday!

It finally occurred to me that maybe being this down about Monday was affecting my life and my attitude.

Duh!

About this time, I also stumbled on articles about happiness and gratitude.  It seems that if you are a grateful person,

you are also a more happy person. 

So I tried it out.

Less complaining, especially on Mondays,

and

more gratitude, even for Mondays.

I finally decided that if I could wake up on any given day, and find 2-3 things for which I could be grateful, then I went into my day with a much more positive attitude.

The world really became a better place, 

even on Mondays.

The same goes for the end of the day.

I tried to find 3-5 things for which I was grateful.

I found myself becoming a happier person.

The evening tied into the morning gratitude, 

and

the morning gratitude tied into the evening.

Have you ever tried keeping a gratitude journal or simply acknowledging the things for which you are grateful each day?

I'd love to hear what you think about this?

If you feel up to it, please leave a comment.

Thanks.

A Moment in Time

A friend of mine and I were enjoying brunch today at a local restaurant.  We enjoy each other's company and spend most of our time talking.  As we were busy chatting, and our time together began at 10:30 AM and ended at 1 PM, our waitress came up and said that our check had been paid, and she nodded to the rough looking gentleman behind us, wearing a leather Harley jacket, accompanied by his, obviously, adored little girl.  They got ready to leave and my friend asked him if he had paid our bill.  He smiled and said. "Yes," and he walked out the door.  We tried to thank him, but he walked out very quickly.  

Can you imagine being the recipient of such a kindness?

Wow!

What a day!

 

Three Beautiful Things This Week

Three Beautiful Things This Week was inspired by a wonderful blog that Clare writes called Three Beautiful Things. Everyday, Clare writes about 3 Beautiful Things that happen each day in her life. It's a wonderful blog! I can only hope to imitate her in a very small way.

1) I'm having a wonderful supper of linguini with clams and shrimp!  I can hardly wait!

 2) I'm home again, and loving it!

3) We had unbelievable weather this week.  We reached a high of 70 one day which is unbelievable for Minnesota in November.
