Monday Once Again
Well, here we are—Monday
once again. Things sure are different since I retired. No rush, no alarm clock, no workweek ahead, just another day in the
good Lord’s grace. I used to dread Mondays, but now they feel more like a
gentle beginning than a jolt. Coffee tastes just as good, the sun still shines,
and hopefully there’s a breeze on the porch.
All’s peaceful here at our little bayside bungalow. The flowers are growing, the birds are singing, and the world feels just slow enough to savor.
We’re on the downside of July now,
and August will be here before we know it. Then come the "ber"
months—September, October, November and December. Even though September will
still be hot, we have the promise of fall on its way. I am so ready.
Retirement has a way of
softening the edges of the calendar. Monday isn’t a mountain to climb
anymore—it’s a quiet invitation to reflect, to putter, and to enjoy what the
day brings. Whether it’s a phone call from one of the kids, a favorite hymn
playing in the background, or simply the joy of a fresh start, I’m grateful.
So here’s to Mondays—not a
burden, but a blessing. Another gift. Another chance.
Living day by day as the
Lord Provides.
Until Next Time
Good morning, Mary! I have always loved Mondays, even when I worked. I love a new beginning and we get one every week! Isn't God good? :) I hope you have a great day!
ReplyDeleteGood Monday Morning to you! I am sitting here sipping my cup of tea and enjoying reading your post and the lovely picture on your porch. It's already almost 80 degrees here at 7:00 a.m., and will be another hot day. Hopefully we will get some rain to cool it off a tad. Yes, Monday's are a lot nicer now that we're retired. I am thankful to be retired, that's for certain! Have a lovely week!! Stay cool!!
