MONDAY

I find it amazing how one day of the week has perhaps the most negative connotation for so many people. To many Monday is the beginning of the work week or perhaps their school week, something they might not enjoy so therefore Monday becomes negative. I know that on Sunday evenings I can be heard whining about having to the next day being Monday for the same reason. It seems that know matter how nice the weather, or what great things may happen on a Monday just the mention of the word brings moans and groans from the majority.
I am slightly curious as to how it was decided that Monday became the day that we would begin the work/ school week with. It really does confuse people for technically Monday is the second day of the week with Sunday the beginning of the week. Of course I like the idea of starting my week attending church and worshipping the Lord.
When we teach children calendars (days of the week etc,) they do seem confused for Sunday is considered part of the "weekend" meaning the week is ending not starting and they have learned to associate Monday as the beginning of the week.
Mondays have been sung about as the day that "always get people down."
But still I must ask how it started that Monday became such a negative day. we all enjoy the weekend - well at least when we had weekends now people call the weekend whatever days off they may have, and when somebody talks about going back to work or school it is called their "Monday" .
I think we should start celebrating Mondays like we do Fridays!
Kidding Monday is just a day like any other day and I do feel bad about being so negative about it. I do admit though I like Fridays better.
