Why Monday is My Favorite Day of the Week

I have said for years that Monday is my favorite day of the week, and it never fails that I get some crazy looks. So, why would the world’s most hated day rank as my favorite? It all started back when I was teaching. I hated Mondays just like the rest of the world..

But one day, it dawned on me. I was automatically hating 1/7 of my life.  That’s 14% of the days that God gave me that I was waking up grouchy. Y’all if that number doesn’t shake you to your core I just don’t know what will.

After discovering this unfortunate statistic, I set out to find reasons to love Mondays.. and it WORKED! In fact, I found lots of reasons to enjoy Mondays and my entire attitude changed.

On Mondays, my students always learned our new topic for the week. It was fresh and exciting, and they were always engaged.

I began recycling my church clothes for Monday morning. I would wear a nice outfit to church and immediately change when I got home. This same outfit became my Monday outfit, saving me 15 minutes of picking out what to wear. Monday became my best dressed day, and I always received lots of compliments.

Monday was also my chance to see my students and coworkers whom I had not seen in two days. I was always greeted with hugs and smiles.  In fact, looking back, I am embarrassed that I did not see the GIFT in Mondays before.

These days, I am no longer in the classroom, but Monday remains my favorite day of the week. I get to the office early and check on all of my clients. Lots of showings and offers happen on the weekends, so Mondays are busy and it truly reminds me how BLESSED I am to be in this profession.

Thanks for joining my little corner of the internet. I hope this makes you rethink your attitude about Mondays. May your coffee be ever in your favor. Much love.
