You know, I used to hate Mondays. Then, about three months ago, I began to love them. However, I loved them for a completely other reason than I do now. Then, Mondays were a day to go back to work, get away from the house, not be alone. That was a rough time for me. I was not used to being alone. Now...things are a little different (not that I ENJOY being alone, but I tolerate it much better).
Now, on Mondays I still enjoy going to work...because I love it very much. However, I think Mondays provide a whole new beginning to the week. A new slate to build on. New things to be happy about and thankful for.
So, with this being the first day of the work week, I figured I would give a few shout outs to some people who made my day a little more special...those who helped keep the streak of 'good Mondays' going.
First of all, I would like to thank the cast of SMASH. I know, super cheesy, but it always puts me in a great mood before bed, and the songs...I love to sing them (making me a YouTube downloading fool on Mondays). :)
Now, to the "REAL" people.
Pat- Thank you for helping me make a 'check' of my life this morning. I am getting used to this whole 'normal' thing you spoke of. You know what I mean! :) What a great friend and co-worker you are. How can I be THIS lucky!? Oh...and seriously, you don't have to answer that! :)
Lisa- Just getting to talk to you for a little bit today brought a smile to my face. You always have a way of doing that and I appreciate it so much. What would I do without having you as my friend!?
Meredith- Word to you mom! Seriously, you kicked some sorority butt tonight at MSU! You are an awesome presenter and CASA is most fortunate to have you on our team!
Mauricio- Su bondad nunca deja de asombrarme. Le agradezco aceptarme con mis faltas y gracias por todo lo que usted ha hecho. Usted es una alegría verdadera y le aprecio muchísimo. I hope that is right. :)
Karen- Thank you very much for thinking of me today. That really meant a lot to me and I am truly grateful. She is such a wonderful friend and I am so glad that she has you and Ashlee in her life as well.
Mike- Your messages today just cracked me up. I think I might have laughed out loud a couple of times! Hope the painting went well and I look forward to the classy social events TBD. :)
Luke- Thank you for the kind words. I know that you won't see this post, but I appreciate them very much and hope the best, as always.
Kat- So sad I missed our "Voice" night and dinner! We can try again next week (at least the season isn't close to over!). Love you guys.
Judy- You got to be the last person I talked to tonight, and as always you lifted my spirits higher than they were. You have such a gift at being such a wonderful and inspiring friend (even if Mere says we are going to you know where!) lol.
And...to everyone out there, who over the past few days have sent me congratulatory emails, texts, messages, and phone calls. I am truly humbled and thank you so much for your kindness and recognition. It is because of friends like you that I get to have great Mondays, great Tuesdays, and every other day of the week!!
As I said before, and I will continuously say, I have the BEST friends in the world. I am so blessed and thankful for each and every one of you. I only wish that I can give back to you half of what you have given to me. You are AWESOME!!
Okay. That is all for tonight. Going to bed now...I think. :)
Peace
