Make Monday Memorable!

 "Monday, Monday... Can't trust that day...." - Mamas & Papas

Mondays have always been a "heavy sigh" kind of day for me. You know,  (heavy sigh) "Tomorrow is Monday..." or  (heavy sigh) "Is it Monday already?" Uh huh, thought you understood.  The Mamas & The Papas sang about Monday. Cartoonists have cartooned about Monday. We all gripe about it. Nobody celebrates Monday or gets married on Monday.

Well, times, they are a changin'. According to the New York Times, couples are opting out of budget busting Friday and Saturday weddings and choosing, yes, you guessed it, even Mondays. For a fraction of the cost of a weekend wedding, brides and grooms can marry mid-week, even Monday. With the average cost of a wedding being $28,427 according to theknot.com, many couples are opting for weekday weddings and saving thousands of dollars. Some couples want to choose specific dates to marry, like the day they met, or became engaged. December 12, 2012 wasn't a weekend, but it was a huge date to marry.

Okay, so Monday has gotten a bad rap. Maybe Monday can be happy. Maybe it's not just, "Four days until the weekend"-day. Maybe Monday is...Memorable.

Ask yourself this, Reader, "What would I have to do to make my Mondays memorable?" (Now, be nice; this is a family blog.) Decide. That's it. ALL you have to do is to DECIDE to make Monday memorable.

Think about this:

Monday is a fresh start.

Monday is the first day of the rest of your life (I know it's trite, but true.)

Monday may be the day to announce, "What a great day! It's Monday!" as you walk into work, or talk to your BFF.

So, what are you going to do today to make Monday Memorable? Ponder it. Envision it. Determine it.

MAKE Monday memorable.

Post a comment about what you did to make your Monday memorable. Now, I'm going to go clean the frig.

Won't that be fun...
