So what's so good about Mondays? ....
Hmmmmmmmm I can fill my mind up instantly with umpteen things I could hate about Mondays but why not keep it on the upbeat and positive? just MAYBE it would turn my Monday around cause I need THIS MONDAY to turn around QUICK!!! after all I almost died on Friday when I got hit by a jerk on a bike while I was crossing the street a few blocks up from the workplace trying to get to the bank... so I MUST turn this around and make myself enjoy THIS present day... because I am alive and well today...
Okay ... here goes ... I am determined to love this Monday because I made it through last week and the weekend .... despite being hit by one that did not care enough to even look back and check after I fell on all fours with the contents of my pocketbook spilled in the middle of the street my knees all busted open as I grope frantically to pick my stuff up INCLUDING my lip-gloss as the lights change on both sides and now traffic is coming at me and some arse is blowing the horn as an elderly woman is trying to help me to my feet .. gotta love it... I am down.. I am hurt .. yet I was determined to gather my sh#t INCLUDING my lip-gloss ... my hit and run was long gone as I composed myself and walk the rest of the way to the bank and back to my car ... my knees stung but otherwise I was okay ... glad that nothing was broken... then on Saturday we went to Queens NY for my dearest uncle Memorial Service... by then it was all I could do to walk without a limp ... ahhhhhhhh VANITY ME.... but I managed ...it was not all that bad until SUNDAY ... and Today MONDAY ... OUCHHHHHHHHHH!!!! EVERYTHING hurts to sit HURTS ... STIFFNESS AND DISCOLORATION AND ACHES AND PAINS ALL OVER ... HECK I MISSED MY RUN ... YESTERDAY AND THIS MORNING ... I even forced myself to go to Zumba yesterday and had to sit down....and now my neck is stiff too... I need to get out of here and get a ho****er bottle and some cold compresses and get my arse to bed ...but IT IS A CRAZY MONDAY.... I am determine to love THIS Monday .... for so many little things.... because I was able to open my eyes first thing in the morning ... alive and well despite the aches and pains... because I was able to reach into my closet and pick out another tiny outfit and hop on the scale as I do daily and am STILL maintaining with NO REGAIN ... woot! I am loving Monday... because I got off the phone with my beautiful sister back home and she is hanging in there and responding well to her treatment WOOT I am loving Monday... thank you Lord for soooooooooooooooo many miracles....
So I made an empowerment collage of me today and my weekend...
and because at 5 years post op I could reach into my closet and just slide into this tiny AK outfit and it fits just like it did before ... I am loving this Monday...
I even rocked an XS 2 piece my DD gave me as a gift and I had not worn... well it was warm on yesterday and now there is a downpour....
I love love love this comfy top I am wearing today...
Because my left side is stiff ... I have a crick in my neck... my arse hurts... my knees are scabbing over and sore and I have the biggest bruise on my arse ... but I am sitting here giving a shout-out to all my cyberfriends ... I AM LOVING MONDAY!!!
Chillaxing over the weekend ....
My encouragement collage last week...
My week in pictures last week...
On my way to Queens NY for a celebration of my uncle's (RIP) life...
My first cousins (our dads are brothers) and I ... it was awesome meeting up with family members from across the globe ... we did not cry... we celebrated his passing with joy ... he sowed seeds of happiness for the 84 years that we were able to share him ... I remember him with a smile..
HAPPY MONDAY TO ALL!!!!! MAKE IT A HAPPY ONE ... WE ARE ALIVE AND WELL TODAY ... OTHERWISE WE WOULD NOT BE SITTING HERE READING/WRITING OR SOCIALIZING WITH EACH OTHER ... THERE ARE BLESSINGS... BIG AND SMALL EVERYWHERE ... I am taking mine in in small increments ... as long as I don't sulk and dwell too much on why Mondays are as manic as the song I will be A-okay....
My empowerment tool ... a picture a day keeps the pounds and the inches away!!.. it works for me ... I asked for HEALTH and MOBILITY ... and I got just that ... WOOT .... 5 co-morbidities in remission ... a mindset and a lifestyle change ... I am having fun and enjoying the ride of my life ... with all the ups and downs and go arounds...Thanks for allowing me to share...

Good news: If you live in a no-fault state, your car insurance will cover treatment for your injuries, even though you were a pedestrian when it happened and even though the driver was a hit and run. Get to a doctor and get checked out if things don't get better quickly!
Great news: Your attitude rocks!

It was definitely a happy Monday for me- the last Monday of the school year. Yay!! Summer is almost here. I will definitely be enjoying my 11 week vacation. Only 8 more years until I can retire
