Weekend reset, getting ready for Monday....

🔥

Hey hey. What is something that happened for you this weekend that helped you reset and be ready to face Monday?

Do Mondays bother you? I used to have that sad empty Sunday night feeling when Monday was coming around. This was in my past life a few decades ago when I was working corporate and hadn't found my way into counseling yet. Even though at that time I loved my job, it was someone else's 9-5. Back in those days you just got a job. I was taught admin/business (from my mom) so I got a corporate job instead of following my heart into teaching, counseling, and mentoring. Derp.

When I finally took a soiree into my vocational fields of service - mentoring, counseling and teaching did my Sunday blues go away. For one thing, my calendar went berserk with working overnights in residential treatment, etc, but my love of work became something that fed me, too, even though it was someone else's 9-5 (or 12-12, as the case may be).

This weekend something that happened for me that made facing Monday easy - my mom, who has needed 24/hr care for over a year since she had a stroke, spent the weekend in respite so me and my siblings could catch a break. Usually I go to mom's on Sunday night and stay until Tuesday morning. I felt a little sad that I was happy I was not with my mom on Sunday so I could wake up Monday in my own bed. That is something that has only happened twice in over a year. It's the little things. And, sometimes they are bittersweet.

Happy Monday everyone!!
