A few weeks ago, I was riding along with my youngest girl to pick up her babysitting kids from school. Not only was it was hot & sticky…..it was a Monday! The kids jumped in, buckled up and off we went. I was asking everyone how the day had gone when the youngest, Charlie said, "Ahh, it was Monday! I hate Monday's!". I couldn't help but sympathize with the little guy as it had really been a long miserable day for me too. But instead of letting it whip us both, I decided to change things up a bit.
I told Charlie….."I'm changing the name of Monday! It's now only allowed to be called FUNDAY!". He smiled so big and I couldn't help but laugh along with him! From that moment on, we giggled and joked about all the ways Funday's are good! Attitudes, adjusted!
It's all in how you look at it, friends.
