“The thought is harder than the deed.”


H,


There is this sting in Mondays. All things are mostly repetition on this plane, but Mondays feel like the height of the disease. The thought of it is harder than the living it out, though. It is more like any other day than we would like to imagine. It turns and spins on this idea that there is little joy in the drudgery of daily life and work. This is not true, of course. Like most things, it is a matter of perspective or the state of the heart.

I know I am guilty of always trying to rush through the most unpleasant parts of my day. I am trying to stop this. I want to dwell in everything. I am not saying look for pain but when something is unavoidable, to find the joy in it. Joy is mostly the realization that the worst moments will pass and there is an eternal sunrise to come. Seen in this light, Mondays are not the terrible and awful ordeal that they seem. They are just another day to tick off as we march toward that blessed renewal to come.
