T.G.I.M!
Or any day. It’s just good to be alive. It’s good to have time, thus freedom to appreciate Life. A Flourishing Life beyond walls.
You can tell when it is a Monday in schools. In High School more blurry eyes, slower response time, if any. Or there is a buzz because of a weekend event. Most agree, Monday’s suck.
How sad. I get it. But how sad.
In I.School we will need to change that. Starting with a re-conditioning.
I declare every Monday to be a personal holiday. Take as much time as you want to sort yourself. Sleep in, breathe, enjoy a slow morning with kids, a partner, or just you. Put on some music, if you like. Create the most relaxing atmosphere possible. Get creative.
(By the way, how can you ‘take time’? Is time for the taking? Do we take time or does time take us? Mondays have no agenda- it’s quietly waiting for you to notice her without hostility.)
Because we do not have this ‘luxury’ of time, and you are still probably in school, may I suggest you still slow down. And before you start rattling off reasons as to why you “just can’t possibly do that”, (I can hear you, I’ve been you) fine. Just think about it then, and when you are ready, come on back to I.School.
No hurry, no worries- Monday’s. :) A Sincere Happy Monday to All (and none).
