Kindness and Mondays

"Monday, Monday.  Can't trust that day."
~ The Mamas & the Papas

I once worked with a very successful attorney who used to say, "Don't try to get anything done on a Monday -- just try to get through."  She certainly was no slouch, but she did have quite a sense of humor.  I frequently think of her on Mondays as I try to navigate things the things that Mondays bring without getting overly frustrated.  Then there are those Mondays that begin a couple of hours before any respectable Monday should and you are really thrown off your survival game.  But in the middle of the madness, a thoughtful teenager sends you a photo of your daughter dressed as a villain in the latest version of high school silliness.  And your mood brightens and the teenager's thoughtfulness gives some much-needed perspective to your day.  You really never know when a small kindness is just what someone else needs.
