Mondays

I, like many peole, have this thing about starting new projects on Mondays. Starting a new diet? Always on a Monday. Gonna begin working out again? On Monday. Want to begin meditating anew? Uh huh, you guessed it, on Monday.

What is it with our obsession with beginning things on Monday? Are we merely tied to the idea of a new work-week as a starting point, or are we just procrastinators using Mondays as an excuse to delay beginning a project we find less than exciting? I myself have let too many Mondays go by without starting what I said I would, then only to find myself on that Tuesday saying, "It's okay, I'll start next Monday". Embarrassing, but true.

This Monday I decided to take the proverbial bull by the horns. Last Wednesday I made a determination to have two entries a week -- one on my website http://www.yoursingleparenting.com/ (even if only to update some of the articles) and one here on my blog. So here I am, blogging away, and not just because it's a Monday, but because it's time to start making small changes so that the big ones don't seem so big afterall.

I've begun reading Dr. Wayne Dyer's book Change Your Thoughts, Change Your Life. I look forward to sharing what I find in it, as well as my perspectives on how I am processing the messages in it, with you all.

Here's to a wonderful Monday, a wonderful week, and a wonderful start at taking small steps towards accomplishing big things!
