Sunny Mondays

I like Sunny Mondays. It's hard to wake up on Monday mornings and think anything positive or pleasant. Not impossible, but somewhat difficult. But sometimes there are little things that can help make that transition from a Weekend of great friends and memorable experiences to the start of the weekly grind of commutes, Clients and time sheets. Sunny Monday mornings can be just the ticket.

When the work week is kicked off with dark clouds and rain drops, you feel as though your head is suddenly Velcroed to your pillow. You need to literally rip one from the other just to get up. And even then the weight of a crappy morning weighs you down, forcing your body back to the bed and your head to the Velcro pillow.

However, when the Sun peeks through the shades and tickles your face, all that weight and Velcro seem to disappear. Your body rises with ease and feels refreshed for the start of a new day, a new week. At least that's how I feel on a day like today. It is beautiful and sunny and even though I'd rather be waking up to the smell of beer, bacon and (Buddha?) the fresh air of the middle of nowhere with some of my favorite people, I'll take a Sunny Monday in Baltimore.
