Monday, a fresh start!

Believe it or not but not everyone dreads or dislikes Monday. I have a young lady, Megan, that I coach who absolutely loves Mondays. She is always excited at Sunday practices for Monday to get here. She enjoys flipping the page in her planner to a new week and all that lies ahead. While I'm sure most of her team mates and I looked at her like she had things growing out of the top of her head when she first announced her way of looking at Monday's this past fall I've come to try to embrace Monday's with the same attitude. I call it my Monday Morning Megan Attitude or Megan Monday's!

Looking at the week as a fresh new start is not an original way of looking at things. Being positive is the first step to making any day, week or month good. It's a step in the right direction. Everybody likes new. Clean and fresh gives you positive way of looking at life. How YOU deal with each day and what comes your way is YOUR choice, regardless of what happens.

Megan Monday's are my new, fun way of dealing with a not-so-enjoyable work place and the people who come with it-the negative attitudes-the I'm pretty important people-the students who are trying and the ones who are not. It's just life.

I've found that having successful Megan Monday's depend a great deal on how prepared I am for Monday or the entire week. If I'm not ready to roll I'm setting myself up for a not-so-great start to my day or week. But regardless my attitude and outlook make a world of difference.

So having my calendar in order, my lunch packed, clothes laid out and whatever else I need to take care of on Monday or any day makes life go a while lot better. I'm more prepared to deal with the negative and the people don't look at Monday's as great!

Having a Megan way of looking at life, not just Monday's, makes life a while lot happier. I'm sure Megan will be successful where every she goes in life as long as she keeps her attitude of Monday's, or any day, as a fresh start and clean slate! The lessons you learn from kids, who knew!

A positive thought: RAIN! It may be a dreary, wet, rainy Monday but the sound of the rain coming down and the thoughts of the green that will come after the rain stops and the sun comes out makes me smile. New life, new day, new week!
