Monday

Ranking the days of the week

Sunday. Monday. Tuesday. Wednesday. Thursday. Friday. Saturday. Let’s take a look at the days of the week and how I view them currently and in my personal past.

7. Friday.

Friday is the worst day of the week because that’s when I found out what kind of scum I am.

6. Thursday

I mean…Thursdays have been kind of boring compared to the other days. This is especially true for my time as a Sixers fan. See, Thursday nights in the NBA are usually reserved for the best teams and/or best matchups (think Monday Night Football for you NFL heads). Sixers haven’t played well enough since I became a fan in 2000 so…yeah. But, even other areas of my life, this isn’t my favorite day but I also don’t dislike it. It just…is.

5. Monday

I’m not sure what it is about Monday. Corporate American hates this day since it’s the “back to work” day. But, I don’t really dislike…oh wait. Band practice was always on Monday. Oh yeah. I didn’t like band. F band.

4. Wednesday

I was born on this day so there’s a reason not to be excited. Also, I got my blood drawn by these vampires although people tell me they were nurses or something. Also, when I was a kid, Wednesday was the longest day of the week for my, mom, and sisters. Just…a long day from home. Even today, Wednesdays are busy and usually not enjoyable. One of my best relationships sparked from Wednesday so…huh. This has always been a bittersweet day which is why it’s in the middle. I mean, the middle of my list but coincidentally it’s also the middle of the week. Okay then.

So far, each day has been not so good. Do I even like a day, or am I ranking by which ones I don’t hate as much? Grief.

3. Sunday

Sunday is when I go to church. I either teach or do lighting, and I enjoy doing both. That’s been a really fun ride.

2. Saturday

The last day. The 7th day. I don’t know what it is but I really like this day. Maybe it’s because historically, I generally get to chill on this day. No school. Um, okay actually when you worm in retail Saturday is your day, but I love working retail so it was fine with me. But yeah, Saturday usually had something I looked forward to.

1. Tuesday

I really…it’s like Saturday. I don’t know exactly why I enjoy Tuesday, but I do. I really did. Boy Scouts was really fun and that was Tuesday nights. Then again, band concerts were on Tuesday nights. Currently, I use Tuesdays as my “day at church”…day. I would go to the morning staff meeting, and then spend the rest of the day working on my lighting. Wednesday also was a day to spend all day at church but Tuesday historically felt…productive. It was during a Tuesday night class that I began writing my book. It was a Tuesday that I decided I wanted to start my own blog (this blog right here). I really like Tuesdays.

Monday Motivation: Speak Life Into Your Situation

In case you missed it, Monday Motivation is a new series I’m running. I share my own words to you in the hopes of motivating you. As you can probably tell, this will show up on Mondays.

This post is based off of one of my favorite posts I wrote: The Power of the Tongue. I suggest you read it so you can better understand where I’m going here, although you’ll still get the gist of my message.

We need to speak life into our situation. Think positive thoughts this week. Our very words are powerful. When we face a situation, keep you head held high. Don’t give up.

From a Christian standpoint, some of us always start their morning with prayer. They speak life into their day before it starts. And many have said there’s a difference. A positive difference.

“I can do it.”

“The day isn’t over yet; I can end it on a high note.”

I’m not saying looking at a lottery ticket and saying “I’m gonna win” 500 times will make you a billionaire. I’m saying that that, as I mentioned in my linked post above, our words can do damage. At first, we may not believe our own words. But, keep speaking them. Over time, things well get better. And soon, you’ll hate even the smallest negative remarks you see, hear, or even think.

Even on the long days, find something. Find something to be thankful because it’s there. “Well at least…” is perfectly acceptable. Keep looking for the new morning because God’s blessings are new each morning.
