Just Another Magic Monday

Last Monday, I wrote a thing. It went a little something like this:

"I have been having some thoughts. For a relatively new mother, this in itself is cause for celebration (if the thoughts are anything other than "need food", "so tired" and "what is the word for that thing that ... does the ... thing ..."). 

It's even better when the thoughts just happen to be VERY GOOD THOUGHTS.

Well, at least, I think they're good thoughts. And Tiger agrees and she thought I should share the thoughts with you all.

The thoughts are as follows:

1. Mondays can be stinky. If you have to go to work, you may not wish this to happen. You may still wish for all of the weekend things to still be being weekendy. If you are a SAHM or SAHD you may be sad that your little people are going away to school or your big people are going away to work and leaving you to your lonesome self. Whatever the case, for many people, Mondays are, in fact, manic.
2. But what if they could be made a little bit less manic and a little bit more magic, simply be realising that, even amongst the manicness there was, in fact, magicness also?
3. What if simply by identifying one magic thing in an otherwise manic day, things could seem a little bit brighter and happier?
4. What if it was ENTIRELY POSSIBLE TO MAKE MONDAYS AWESOME SIMPLY BY DOING THIS?
5. Or at least a little bit less stinky?"

Many, many people read my little thing. Many more than have read any of my things in the past.

BUT ...

Only three people had experienced something magic in their Monday.

And this made me a bit sad. Because, surely, there is magic in everybody's Monday, isn't there, if they just keep an eye out for it and don't let it pass them by in a fog of to-dos and lists and projects and files and meetings and bad coffee and computer-chairs-that-spontaneously-plummet-downwards?

So, today I'm posting this early, to give you a heads up: Look for the magic thing. Look all day. You might discover you find it at 9am (it might be a yummy apple muffin at your favourite coffee shop), or 3pm (an old lady might smile at you on the bus), or even 9pm (your loved-one might give you a kiss on the forehead and ask you about your day). 

Whenever it is, whatever it is, make note of it and share it here. And make Monday a bit more magical.

I'll start, because my magic thing has just happened. It was watching Tiger rolling 360 degrees around her play mat because she can only roll in the one direction, and then seeing the determination on her face as she tried to go back the way she came. She didn't get there but she tried gosh-darn hard and her courage and never-say-die attitude was enough to bring a huge smile to my face at 5am. She's just lovely.

Now, over to you. What made your Monday magic?
