Reflection
Mondays. Ugh, Mondays. The alarm jolts me awake, dragging me from the comfort of dreams into the harsh reality of the workweek. The weight of a to-do list a mile long settles on my shoulders, and a familiar wave of dread washes over me.
But then, a friend sent a sweet message this morning – a Monday blessing. It wasn’t a grand gesture, just a simple “thinking of you” with a prayer for a good week. And let me tell you, it made a world of difference. In that moment, the pressure eased a bit.
Maybe it’s the power of shared experience, of knowing someone else understands the Monday blues. Maybe it’s the reminder that I’m not alone in facing the week’s challenges. Whatever it is, that simple Monday blessing felt like a warm hand extended, a silent pep talk that said, “Hey, you’ve got this. It’s going to be a good week.” So, thank you to everyone out there who shares Monday blessings and prayers. Your kindness, however small, has the power to make a big difference in someone’s day.
