Make it a Great Monday Lucy May

Lucy and her camp friend Emma Isenhart
Morning Sunshine,

Here is what I had to say to Sally on the first Make it a great Monday - September 6, 2010, also a Labor Day:

Hey Sally. "Make it a great Monday." I like that expression. Some people might say, "kick Monday's ass." Same thing. The point is, it is always up to you to start your day, and your week, with a great attitude. It is up to you to take what God is giving you today, and turn it into something good.

And how about this one from Monday, September 10, 2012 - Emily's first day of classes at SCAD. Check out those faces on 'Goose and Georgia'!

Lucy, try to always remember that Mondays are no different than any other day of the week. Oh sure, they may feel a little stressful when thinking about what is ahead. And lots of people will say, "I hate Mondays" but that is a self-defeating, negative-energy way to start the week. Why not Make it a Great Monday, by simply staying positive and saying things like, "I got this!" or "Bring it on world, I am ready." You will be amazed at how that simple 'shift' in attitude / self-talk will help you get your week off on the right foot. Or, if you are left-footed (like Kyle and Sally) on the left foot. Ha!

(For the record, our football teams went 3 and 1 this weekend. Aggies rolled Direction U on Thursday night, Westlake started the season with a nice win on the road, Dawgs destroyed the Governors of Austin Peay (I can only imagine what was said about the name of that opponent on the Dawg Deck), and the Tar Heels rallied late, but could not beat Cal on the road.)
