Last Monday started out with one can call, a terrible case of the Monday's. Though it was Monday morning fresh out of a weekend I found myself feeling very tense, & not at all like I had just finished a relaxing weekend away from my work life. Last Monday, however had a beautiful surprise waiting for me. It started after my workday at my "day job". While on my way out to my Monday horseback riding lessons I stumbled upon some very beautiful yellow lady slippers in the ditch. Of course I took the time to "stop & smell the flowers". This was step one of the surprises Monday held for me. Time around horses has always found a way to bring a calm to me, & last Monday was no exception. While out Monday some extra time was given to me by my riding instructor to just let everything go, & relax. This was probably the best thing that could have happened that day for me. After my lesson I felt very refreshed, & knew that I just wanted to keep this relaxing state going.
So after I got a bite to eat I set out to get some fishing done. One of the most calming moments in my life is when I am out casting a rod. Fishing will always be one of my favorite forms of personal therapy. To be outside, next to the water (perhaps in it), & flicking that line out just slows my life right down. Mother Nature was a beautiful helper that night as she gave me a beautiful show of birds & sunsets to keep me entertained while I just relaxed. For the first time in a couple weeks I just slowed down to enjoy being outside. I didn't think about the 101 things I had to do, or the 100's of pictures I needed to go through. I just breathed the calm air in, enjoyed my surroundings that had limited people, & let myself be amazed by the changing light around me. Sometimes Monday's can be the best weekends. I hope this Monday finds you well, & if it doesn't at the start I hope that it finishes on a good note like my did last week for me.
