Quote of the day:
"We act as though comfort and luxury were the chief requirements of life, when all that we need to make us really happy is something to be enthusiastic about."
~ Charles Kingsley (1819 - 1875), English novelist and clergyman
What a timely quote for a Monday morning! Let’s face it, most of us face the end of the weekend and the start of the work week with less than joy….. Granted it is tough disliking a full 7th of your life. Granted it is a day of promise and kicks off a new week – although Sunday is properly the beginning of the week it has been identified with the end of the weekend, and indeed, many “week counts” start with Mondays these days. This particular Monday kicks off Holy Week and is significant as Christians around the world follow the last week of Christ’s life.
In any case, the week stretches out before us – may it be a good one for us all!
