Just Another Manic Monday

So by now you all know my love affair with Mondays, and here we are, yet another Monday and I am sitting here reflecting on why I shouldn't just check out mentally...again!
This morning over coffee I kept replaying what an amazing if rather expensive weekend I had. I swear next time I am leaving the ATM card home and dance for my supper if need be...any way like I said I had a great weekend doing all the things I love namely eating, dancing, and indulging my friend vino.
Oh and how can I forget my new passion, futbol. Although my Argentina was eliminated from the Copa America, I did enjoy watching their neighbors Uruguay taking it all Sunday.
As I was sipping away on my coffee I started thinking it's funny how one experience can change you. My experiences in South America definitely gave me that shot in the arm I needed. When I was there I would start the week determined to make and have a new experience for myself.  For example, I told myself I wanted to experience a futbol game and figure out why the rest of the world is so passionate about it. Fast forward to now and I am never a week without futbol in some form.  All of this got me thinking how often I find myself taking what I have here and daydreaming and relating them to my time in Argentina..yup mentally checking out like I do every Monday.

I guess if I really think about it, it's not really checking out as much as it is tuning in. Tuning in to what makes me happy, where my passion lies. With all that being said, I think I'm getting a better understanding about my manic Mondays. I think for me Mondays are a day of thought and reflection. It is the beginning of something new..ah here lies the problem- for me, Mondays nothing was ever new, it became routine.  Now routine can be a good thing; however, being in a rut routinely is not. So from now on, I am going to try and look at Mondays as a way to not only think and reflect about what happened but to set goals for what I want to happen.
Yeahhh that's the ticket!!!! put a positive spin on the whole thing. So yea Mondays..bring it!!!! 
(ok taking bets on how long this will last lol!)
