Happy Monday!
Yes it’s Monday and my heart is overflowing with happiness!
I greet this beautiful day eager to discover all the promises it holds.
For me Monday means a fresh start. Whatever worries or trials filled my days or weeks leading up to today, they’ve brought me right here and prepared me for all that lays ahead. I greet this moment with joy… Excitement… Anticipation… Peace.
I jump into Monday energized after a rewarding and fulfilling weekend with my family.
Monday is my day to dream. To plan out my week and choose what to fill it with.
Monday is also the day I get my fresh green drink delivered from Chef V. I love that first glass of greens, when it is as fresh as can be and brimming with wholesome nutrients. I savor it sip by precious sip.
Monday is also the day I get to teach aerial fitness…
The aerial pavilion is such a magical place!
For three hours I get to play circus with kids and adults alike. We defy gravity on silks and trapeze, engaging our mind as well as every muscle in our body. We gain the most amazing body awareness as we move in a different plane. We climb, spin, dance in the air and “fall” in perfectly orchestrated drops.
My little ones, the 2 t 4 year olds, come at 3:30. That hour always goes by so fast! With kids this young I need to keep things moving so there never is a dull moment. We speed things up, then slow them down… We learn new tricks, review old ones, then spend some time exploring… I love working with kids this young. They squeal with delight from beginning to end. They’re open and eager to try new things. And they certainly keep me on my toes! The focus for this class is on having fun. We work on skills and it’s amazing how quickly some of these little ones learn.
My last class of the day is my adult and family class and that is always a blast. I do a lot more conditioning with this group and eagerly join in. I have brand new students just learning how to climb the silks and balance on trapeze, and advanced families perfecting technique or choreographing a partner routine. This class always goes by way too fast!
I come home elated, ready to enjoy a scrumptious meal with my family,give home work help when needed, finish up whatever chores need my attention, and tuck my little angels in for the night.
And as the day ends, I find some quiet time to give thanks for all that I was gifted and remind myself that tomorrow is yet another day filled with promise and endless possibilities…
Wow! I wish I had that attitude about Mondays! 🙂
Oh thanks Susan! What gets in the way? Try to identify that then post a coulpe of quotes that lift your spirits where you are likely to see them frequently and make sure you start your week by reading them a few times and feel energized and ready for the week ahead!
Thank you for sharing your day with us. I love Spring and I feel a lot better since Winter is gone here.
You must live in a place where winter is cold and somewhat uninviting Shannon. I feel blessed to live in LA where we have sunshine throughout the year. It sure makes keeping a cheery disposition all that much easier. 🙂
A very happy spring to you Shannon!
Thank you so much for sharing
You are most welcome Hina! Enjoy your week 🙂
The one thing I like about Monday is getting back into routine after a weekend of chaos. I get to have the whole house to myself again with the kids at college and school and hubby at work.
Oh that sounds delightful Veronica! I love the peace and quiet that returns to my home when Monday comes along. I feel particularly inspired and love being able to focus on what I need to do without the distractions.
I love your positive outlook! I like Mondays because I’m caught up and ready to start again fresh.
Thanks Crystal! I love feeling caught up and ready to start all over! Best feeling ever!
So positive.
thanks Michelle! 🙂
I need to have a more positive outlook for my Mondays! I think my favorite things is that I get to email my son on Monday’s. It’s the only day I can be in contact with him. He’s 18 and serving a mission. So, that is one good thing about my Monday’s!
Oh wow! That would certainly make Mondays special Avry! Those communications must be truly priceless!
My favorite thing about Monday is the chance to do it all over again.
Oh I love that response Raijean!
I always feel like Monday is a fresh start and if I have a good day, the whole week will follow. It’s usually a busy day though!
Oh yes, Mondays tend to be busy around here also Liz, but I love it!
I dont have a lot of favorite things about Mondays but what a great outlook you have on it!
Thank you Cathy! I hope you feel a little inspired. Mondays are a new beginning for me and I LOVE new beginnings 🙂
I am blessed to have Sunday/Monday off. 🙂
Oh wonderful Sue! So you get to catch up on rest, shopping and all that fun stuff when others are at work 🙂
