Monday marks the start of most work-weeks<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Do you look forward to Mondays, dread them, or just take them as they come along?<\/p>\n

I usually do something special on Mondays, nothing big just something out of the ordinary.<\/p>\n

Today I used the perfume I save for special occasions.
\nIt may sound small but it instantly turned my Monday morning into something special. Now if I could just get out of bed earlier……<\/p>\n

Here are a few of the special Monday treats I’ve done in the past:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Monday extra reading time, whatever I choose.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Treated myself to a magazine and extra time to read it.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Morning latte instead of the usual coffee<\/strong><\/p>\n

Night out at the movie theatre<\/strong><\/p>\n

An hour of window shopping\/browsing<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Is there anything special you’d like to try on Mondays or any day?<\/p>\n
