I must confess (if you haven't heard me harp about it yet) that I hate Mondays. So considering how foul-mouthed and foul-mooded and foul-just-about-everything I am on Mondays, I thought getting some perspective would be good for the soul. Starting this, what will hopefully be, a series on the blog.
Things that I’m thankful for at this point in my life:
Couple of things I need to get done:
Have a good week, y’all :)
Edited to add: The gratitude bit was inspired by dear Elly S, I'm sorry I completely forgot to link.
P.S: Linking to Open Slather and I Must Confess
Things that I’m thankful for at this point in my life:
- The stability - financial and emotional (hard won but totally unappreciated because I seem to have easily forgotten what it was like to be otherwise)
- The rains - yeah, they are messy and make my shoes dirty and inconvenient to commute to work and back but I don’t care, I love the weather, they make me happy
- The company - my brother and sister are visiting this week and going back home at the end of each day to them is lovely, to say the least. I hope they are liking it here as much as I like having them over.
- The elephant-printed top - I got it from my favoritest store in Bangalore and I love it, it makes me look good :P
- The friendliness - Gypsy (my cat) is in a good mood these days, I woke up to her fast asleep on my tummy which is surprising considering how independent she is.
Couple of things I need to get done:
- Visit the craft store to get supplies for projects
- Complete my 30-by-30 list
- Get a handle on my laundry which has grown at an alarming rate
Have a good week, y’all :)

P.P.S: If enough people want to take this up, maybe I can host a linky party.
A lovely idea! It is indeed good to count your blessings on the not so good days. I hate Mondays too! But not today. Reason? Done with my internship. Back home for exams and I won't start studying until tomorrow. So I am enjoying the feeling of being back home :D
ReplyDeleteHaha :D I know the feeling, have fun Reems :)
Deleteshow us the elephant top :D hey I got a 30 by 30 list too :D
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your time with family :)
heehee, I might :P Really? I'll go check it out...
DeleteThaaanks, will do :)
I like the idea of starting the week being thankful and finding some perspective - I guess that's similar in some ways to me asking people to start with week off with a confession. I hope it has helped you get through another Monday!
ReplyDeleteIt definitely did, Kirsty :)
DeleteLooking forward to being a regular at I Must Confess :)
I think I am the only one who loves Monday. Do share the picture of elephant top and even I want to make a list, of lots of things actually.
ReplyDeleteHappy week to you :)
GAH, really? You do? How could you :P
DeleteHeehee, popular demand and all :D
Make them! I'd love to read..
Thanks :)
High Five. Mondays, I hate 'em too.
ReplyDeleteSo, when you said that this is going to be a series, you meant like every Monday. Because it sounds pretty cool to dust off the monday fever. I mean to say I am in, mostly because I sulk all day and continue that till I sleep. So, this might be a refresher or sorts.
Happy Week to you too.
30 before 30. God, I need to make that before I plan for 40 before 40. :P
Yeah, I realize I must have said feature instead of series -_-
DeleteYou give me company no?
Heehee, I've changed that to 101 in 1001. Gimme company for both.
Sure.
DeleteSure.
Just lead the way. :P
Cuz I'm a little lost in both aspects.
So what's 101 in 1001 ?
Another take on hating Mondays: at least you are alive! :) I hope my gratitude list inspired you to write this and if so, good for you...and if not, good for you too! ;) The next one I challenge you to keep it 100% positive, even on Mondays! ;) Supposedly, angels were with you when you posted this ... <3
ReplyDeleteSO true :) That's the perspective I wanted to get before I whined the day away.
DeleteI'm SO sorry I forgot to link back to you *mentally slapping myself* I meant to, honest :(
Aiming to be more positive :)
Thanks Elly! :)
From your pics, I know you are having a ball with the siblings visiting :) Have a fabulous week, Darling. Do write more!
ReplyDeleteHaha, we are, aren't we :) Thanks love, I will :)
DeleteFriendliness and good company, awesome to have that to be thankful about x
ReplyDeleteSometimes when things are all foul and yuck it is important to take a deep breath and she the good, because it's out there...somewhere (hehe)
