Yet Another Monday Morning !

It is true, the older one gets the faster time goes.

Just seeing how fast one Monday appears after the last one, is rather scary. Is time actually accelerating, or is it only our perception of it ? There is still the memory of my childhood, of how extremely long it took from one Father Christmas to the next...!

Of course from the start of the weekend to its close is just a finger snap...here today, gone tomorrow. Now and again you get those Sundays that are rare but precious. Those where time crawls along and even when you think it is around bedtime, it is only six o'clock.

Monday mornings can be one of two things. It somehow depends on who, or rather what you are, an optimist or a pessimist. I for one get excited ( obviously not all the time ) because another week has started and opportunities are so much more closer. Should I look forward to an or any event, then Monday morning means that it is a bit nearer. For example, Christmas is now less than two months away...7 more Mondays !

If you are one of those " glass is half empty " types, then today is not a day to speak to you, because I am sure you are grumpy and bemoaning the fact that the weekend is over. Ideally you should have an extra day of weekend as your view of Mondays most likely makes you slightly less productive. Oh, but that would make Tuesday your new Monday...

I stumbled across an interesting video clip of Oprah ( in the Huffington Post ) , where she talks about having kept a gratitude Journal for the last 16 years. Everyday, she writes down 5 things she is grateful for. Having decided to start my own Gratitude Journal, my first entry for today will be :

Grateful that I can experience another Monday.
