Greetings to all. Hope all is well. I figured Monday is as good as any to post new blogs. Seems like a perfectly good day. I was born on a Monday.
So I'm learning of Harper Lee's book, Go Set A Watchman. Oh, I'll get it. You can bet. As soon as I heard of it, I immediately put it on my wish list in Barnes & Noble. That will be a good one. One thing I tell people is that I am an ebook hoarder. I collect some as soon as they hit the market. I have over 800 I haven't even had a chance to read. I work with EPIC on the side as a judge just so I can read new stuff before someone else. Not sure if it's a mental illness, but it's one I can live with. I have accounts with Kobo, Kindle, Nook, and Scribd. I get emails every day from Freebooksy and three other ebook stores. My favorite program on my laptop, besides OpenOffice is Calibre.
I love to read. I love to write and create. I have mental downtime and it immediately kicks into what I'll write on next. Or which new book to find... or... or...
A wise man once said, there is nothing in this world more powerful than the spoken or written word. A word you say to someone, albeit positive or negative, can either uplift or demolish a person's self-worth. Books are written to a point we believe and become intertwined with the characters. That is evident in the work I'm reading now, The Back Building by Julie Dewey. Let's just say, she's going to get an amazing review.
Some people say Monday is a bad word. I disagree. It's no different than Thursday or Sunday. It's not the name of the day, though. It's what it implies. The start of a work week. For me, that's Wednesday. I have Mondays off. But the next time you find yourself feeling bad about a day of the week, just think of how you can make it great for someone. Give them a compliment. Lift their spirits. I guarantee your coworkers will look forward to seeing you on Monday, and that becomes contagious.
So the moral of this moment of clarity? Spread a good word. It'll come back to you. Even if it is "Monday".
