Why I like Mondays

“The privilege of a lifetime is being who you are.”~Joseph Campbell, American writer

I like Mondays.

Today is not the end of a weekend; it’s the deliciously selfish start to my week.

Two scheduled work shift bookmark my day, guaranteeing a defined midday writing schedule. I know how much time I have, so I’m productive during my time. I write in the same Starbucks because of its location to work. I know the baristas here, and they know my order, which is mostly the same cup of Clover-brewed coffee.

I know it’s going to be cold in here, which is why I’m writing in my extra-heavy reddish sweater despite the 94-degree temps outside.

The tables are big enough for my laptop, papers and mouse; I am prepared. The background hum of music, conversation and coffee grinding is peaceful. Today is the day I look back on the week passed and plan for the week ahead.

Routine is not a bad thing.

Is your Monday as complete as mine?

I hope so. It’s a good feeling.
