It’s another Monday.

You could look at it with dread as an awful end to the weekend and a terrible way to start the week, or you could choose to see it as just another day in the week.

Or you could view it as one more day you get to celebrate the absolute miracle of being alive.

It’s your choice. You always have a choice.

You can look for the negative or the positive in people and situations. You can dwell in bitterness about how others mistreated you and how you screwed up royally time after time, or you can choose to see these events as opportunities to learn and grow and become a better person.

Maybe you can even choose to forgive others and yourself.

You don’t naturally drift into joy and contentment. You choose it daily in a thousand different ways in a thousand different places.

Even Mondays can be good if you choose to see it that way.

That, and lots of coffee. Coffee always helps.
