My friend, Mod Mom Beyond IndieDom, hosts an I Don’t Like Monday Blog Hop. She’s invited me to join the party. The best thing about the invitation is, it’s not necessary to dislike Mondays. Which I don’t. In fact, I rather like Mondays. The way I look at it, Monday is a whole new beginning. A chance to start anew on those pesky things I didn’t finish the week before.
That’s why I’m almost always home on Monday. I try not to schedule appointments or errands for that day. I want my new beginning to be really new. Like having fresh dirt at the starting line in which to dig my heels. . .Get ready. . .Get set. . .Go!
So, because it’s Monday, and I’m busy being all new and getting stuff done, feel free to entertain yourself with this really cool video I stumbled across a few weeks ago. The Scared is scared. A senior project by Bianca Giaever. Music by Alpenglow. It’s a six-year-old’s imagination made manifest – word by wonderful word – in video. Worth every second of it’s 7:52 running time.
Welcome to Monday, people. This is guaranteed to put a smile on your face for the rest of the week. Trust me.
A Wilderness of Words 
Can’t say I love Mondays (weekends go way too fast for me) but now I’ll look at them a bit differently. I like the idea that they are the start of something new. So, hey, rainy days and Mondays won’t always get me down. Thanks for another great post, Mary. Loved the video, too. 🙂

Thanks, Laurie. Maybe if I was more productive overall I wouldn’t feel that way I do about Monday. 😉

Between you and me Mary…I kinda like Mondays too. hee hee. The kids go back to school, the house is mostly quiet, I can get some things done and now that I have this hop, I’ve got all of my terrific bloggy friends visiting and bringing me good things to read. But, for the sake of appearances, I’ll keep singing that Boomtown Rats song. Let’s keep this on the down low. 😉 Cool video!

Quiet house has a lot to do with it. Mums the word, though.

Mondays are good. Get to do all the things I enjoyed the weekend by not doing and am then caught up. Loved Asa’s film.

I know, I have the feeling that young man is going places. Undoubtedly, the woman who made the film is.

I’m usually at home on Mondays, too – for just the same reason. I like getting a jump-start on the week. Though yesterday I made an exception and met friends for lunch, which was wonderful and motivating in its own way. (As are 6-year-olds – we’re lucky enough to have our own right here!)

You ARE lucky to have your own 6-year-old for motivation/inspiration. I used to have one. The problem with 6-year-olds is that they grow up very fast!

I always related to Mondays. It’s the odd man out. Misunderstood. And with a great soundtrack to boot….

Perfect song, Cayman. I’m going to make this my Monday mantra. Thanks for the link.
