Mondays and I have always been great friends. Although Mondays are traditionally the start
of the conventional working week, I have rarely ever suffered from Mondayitis.
The mystery of my immunity to this disease
can be traced back many years, when I was first at college, and had
Mondays as a day off.
Because of this, Sunday nights were spent dancing and having
fun with friends, with Mondays being left to do lovely things like brunching,
vintage shopping , afternoon teas and the odd beauty treatment. I was able to
enjoy the day without the hoards of crowds that usually accompany a day off on the
weekend.
When I did begin working on Mondays I would combat the
disease by flipping thru the pages of a book that I came across from one of my
favourite cartoons. The book “Happiness is a warm puppy” was first published
in 1962 and is by Charles Schulz. It features all the old favourites from the popular cartoon “Peanuts”.
So every Monday at work the girls and I would turn to a new
page and it would act as a type of inspiration for the week ahead,
as well as a distraction from Monday and its itis!
These days I am very fortunate to again have Mondays as one
of my days off work. So as a weekly or forthnightly segment
I thought I would bring back this little
tradition of mine for you all to share, along with something that makes me
smile – chances are if you're reading this I hope it makes you smile too. 
So this week I have just put up my new blackboard from france along with my new chalk to write on it with. |

Happiness definitely is 18 different colors, but since my chalk has a more limited colour range I'll settle for just under eight.
Whatever your 18 different colours are this week, make them fantastic!
