Just Another Monday

Is Monday morning really the beginning of the work week? I don't think so.

Quite frankly, Sunday afternoons should be considered the beginning of the week. You wake up, go to breakfast or church or whatever your normal Sunday schedule is. Then, the thoughts of Monday start creeping in. The heart rate picks up with each thought of the phone calls, emails and whatever else normally happens at the start of the week. Just enough to basically ruin a perfectly good day off from work.

I would much rather be thinking about what time my flight to Miami leaves the following morning! Or, what time do I want to go to the beach tomorrow. Or, I wonder if we have enough beer and cigars on hand? Positive thoughts!

It seems like my clock runs about 30 percent faster on weekend days than it does on work days. I swear that a Saturday or Sunday does not last anywhere near as long as a day during the work week. Friday comes to a close and the next thing I know, it's Saturday afternoon and rolling quickly into Sunday. Somebody put the brakes on this weekend!!

Well, all we can do is put the nose to the grindstone one more time and muddle through another week and pray that we come out on Friday afternoon in one piece.

Distracting yourself from such depressing thoughts is one of my favorite pastimes. The only way to do it is to think of something else, something tranquil, escape oriented, fun, ....... visions such as walking out the door at the Miami airport into the warmth and humidity of South Florida, walking on the beach, of good coffee at a sidewalk cafe, of warm sunny days, fine cigars on a balcony overlooking the beach, mixing icy martinis, palm trees blowing in an ocean breeze........

Keep on dreaming.......................
