Just Another Magic Monday

 Hullo!

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?
Thatisall. That's the end of my thoughts and it's my challenge to you. Find one thing - just one - that was Magic about your Manic Monday. It could be that you got the last blueberry bagel at your favourite coffee shop, or you didn't trip on the piece of wonky concrete you usually trip on. It could be that they played your favourite song on the bus to work, or you just finished reading an incredible book, or your hair isn't as mad as usual.

Whatever it is, look out for it, identify it, share it with everyone else. Make everyone else's day a bit sunnier too.

Together, well, we might not change the world but we might make the corners of someone else's lips twitch upwards for a brief moment in an otherwise stinky day.

And that's a bit magic, isn't it?

That's a bit lovely.

~ Love, Miss Cackle.

PS: My Magic Monday thing? Tiger and I did a big cleanout of stuff, in preparation for the leaving of the candy pink house. It was stuff we didn't need; stuff that was cluttering up our home and our hearts. We don't need stuff. We only need each other. With less stuff, life is simpler, and there is more room for the lovely things.

Well- I went for a walk over Dooley's Hill with one of our dogs. That's a fairly regular occurrence, but it made a nice Monday.

We used this public holiday to go the beach. It was a very magic monday.

A wonderful idea!

Magic Monday moment: Bubba grooving and clapping along at Miss A's dancing lesson making me and all the other mums smile :)

Thank you, Sally! That sounds like a lovely thing to do. I really wish we had a dog to walk - when Tiges is older!

Looking forward to taking Tiger to the beach. She'll probably eat sand but she'll love every minute of it!
