Monday feels
like a dying sun
like hope that fades
when the day is done
Monday feels
like an icy breeze
you’ve lost your gloves
and you’re gonna freeze
Monday feels
like drowning tears
your face is wet
you’ve aged a million years
Monday feels
like a melting crayon
you drag your feet
you say, “i think i can”
Agh, these were the Monday vibes I was totes feeling yesterday.
–AJM
we plug in
and as joy drains away
so does our hope
to do something for ourselves
and then the week ends
and it’s monday again
late for work today
twisted my ankle walking
miserable rain
Forgot to get a post ready last night, sick with bronchitis and a sinus infection, it’s rainy and dark, and turned my ankle walking into work. 😭😭 I’d like a redo for today, thank you!
AJM
mondays suck
like sour wine
like getting sick
after feeling fine
mondays drag
like fishing net
like unsaid thoughts
you cannot forget
mondays stay
like a bad cold
like stagnant work
and it’s growing mold
mondays crush
like heavy stone
like feeling down
completely alone
monday’s here
like sunday died
like freedom left
and you’ve said goodbye
I suppose this poem isn’t the best Monday morning inspiration to start your work week, but we’ve all been there. ❤️
Sometimes, all we can do is try our best and survive the day. I hope we all have a great work week. Soo busy here!
Best,
AJM
We are home with a chocolate lab who is recovering from TPLO surgery, and work is picking up at the University while the semester is nearing its end. It’s my first full cycle (fall and spring together) and I can’t believe I’ve almost been on my new job for 10+ months!
Life keeps plugging on, but don’t forget to take time for yourself. (Example: I deliberately take a day off every 6-8 weeks to get my hair recolored.) A healthy mental health is so important and something we tend to ignore like it’s just going to get better. I am currently trying new medication and while enduring the side effects is not awesome, I’m already starting to see results. Like, is this how it feels to not feel some form of worry 100% of the time?! It’s crazy.
I hope everyone has an awesome week! Almost May!!
Just some Monday morning inspiration. Being self-reliant can be super lonely sometimes, but no one can choose your path for you. Make your own choices and grow. It’s the only way we bloom.
Hah. I’m really loving the Spring puns this morning. Hope everyone has a great week! ❤️🙂
