Monday's Message...
It's a new day. It's a new week, and here in southern New England it promises to be a spectacular one! Let's not drag our feet and bodies out of bed begrudgingly, full of Monday hatred and loathing. Seize the day and all the wonderful and new opportunities that come with it. While the saying goes that the early bird gets the worm, there are plenty of worms out there to be got. I know this first-hand as I was weeding in the garden yesterday!
Many of you voiced concerns last week when you read my posts... I had been meaning to write to some of you to explain. In a matter of 24 hours I went from having two jobs to none at all. I was owed money that I learned I will never see. Things have been tight for me financially and they will get tighter before they get better. After my initial shock and break-down, I managed to pull myself together and do what I do best... look at the best of the situation. Money is important (necessary) for sure, but priceless is the time I have with my children. I have seen so very little of them since Thanksgiving. I have worked every weekend, either one or both days since Thanksgiving. I had been so busy my head and body were quite literally spinning. I was missing my children terribly.
I had my children back all weekend and I had them to myself yesterday, Mother's Day. And I daresay it was the best Mother's Day ever!
So, on this bright and sunny Monday filled with endless possibilities and dreams, let's make our lists. Let's make two of them -- one for things we must accomplish and one for things we would like to accomplish -- and start crossing off items from both lists!
And remember this... Today is a gift. That's why they call it the present.
XOXO Jessica
