“Monday rocks!”

I heard this from my first-grader early this Sunday evening. She was busy doing something creative in the living room, and my wife was talking with her about the week ahead.

Her words surprised me, and I had to step in and make sure I heard her correctly. She reiterated her fondness for Monday and explained that she gets to go to music on Monday, and she loves her music class at school. Plus, she gets to see Calli, who is a terrifically fun college student who babysits my girls every Monday.

This 6-year-old is unapologetic about her enthusiasm for the start of a new week. What if everyone took on the week with such gusto?

Rock on, Monday.
