Mondays are like any other day to me: another chance, another opportunity. That said, "Stormy Monday" is a favorite blues song for me.
I think I am playing golf again on Friday.

I used to regard Monday as "any other day". For whatever reason, in the last few years it has become hell-on-earth. I cannot seem to get myself in gear. I am grumpy, curmudgeonly and not really sociable. My conclusion is that I am tired of working but can't yet afford to retire.

If you work for yourself you can have some months where you can't tell one day from another and others where every day feels like Monday.

Every monday that I wake up, I'm very thankful. So I like Mondays, until I don't wake up of course.

I'll second that, Jan! I have arthritis and every day that I first wake up is one where I wonder whether I'll still be able to handle my camera. Mondays are particularly gruesome!

Hold still, you're moving
Not as much as Tuesdays, which are lab days. Two and a half hours fiddling with oscilliscopes and RC circuts. Ugh!

i am thankful for every monday i can get up, put on my clothes, tie my shoes and shuffle off into the day...with my mamiya6.
i am thankful for the other days as well...generally.
yeah...i do have my crabby days - - but they beat the alternative. i grumble and groan a little. i just try to ignore my arthritis and bursitis...and the variety of aches and pains & crackles and stifness that remind me of miscellaneous youthful excesses and choose to remember the better part of how they came about.
why so optimistic? why not?
no need to go too deep here, let's just say, like alot of folks i've been to and through some very dark places in life and came out to a better place. it helps when a you can survive a couple of near-death accidents and injuries...and then later, at near-midlife find a sense of belonging, a family life, that always seemed just out of reach. a second chance, redemption.
it's good to be able to acquire a sense of " non, je ne regrette rien" and to be able to say "it is a good day to die" as the lakota (or was it the cheyenne or crow) were said to have believed.
(for some reason, i feel oddly comfortable sharing my thoughts here. i suppose it's the general accepting, caring and nurturing atmosphere of the forum. it's a small gesture on my part on "paying it forward". thank you all)
pure dumb luck, my friend. may it happen for everyone.

How much do I hate mondays? Not NEARLY as much as I hate having to walk 3 miles home in the cold and dark because I missed my bus by less than a minute *angry*

Mondays aren't that bad actually, not that great either, many lectures and sessions, half of them are really boring, but sometimes, i quite enjoy them, so my choice will be not that much.

A friend of mine once said "The best thing about retirement is Sunday night!". I used to feel that way when I had a high stress job (most of my carreer). Now I'm retired and work three days a week (Tue, Wed, Thur) at the EPA as a technical advisor. I have no responsibility or authority, I just advise. They can do what they want with my advise.
The four day weekends are great, and I can also take off whenever I want.
For those of you that still work, I remember it well. Remember, we all have to make a living, and you can look forward to your turn at retirement. Just hang in there!

Since I retired two months ago, Mondays are fine.

I agree, Mondays have improved considerably since I retired four years ago.I am currently spending two liesurely weeks in Nashville visiting my daughter. Couldn't have done it if I was still working.Ronald M said:
