Well, Good Monday Morning to you my fine readers! I hope you are having an excellent start to the week!
I find if you pretend you are chipper and happy on a Monday, the rest of the week goes a little better. I’m a little slow-moving today and don’t really want to do any of the work I know I have to do, so pretending to have it all together is what I’ve got today. Sometimes that’s the way the cookie crumbles.

I’m going to be totally honest with you, I literally JUST wrote this blog post. Usually, I have my Monday post ready to go Friday or Sunday at the latest but I was not feeling it this weekend. It wasn’t like I was super busy either, I just didn’t know what to write and didn’t want to force out a blog post JUST to have a blog post.
So, while I was walking to Walmart this morning to grab a few things, I pondered if I had anything to write. No inspiration struck. I hate when that happens because then I fall into this weird depressing hole of, “Am I even a worthy blogger/Does nothing interesting happen in my life/Why can’t I be creative all the time?”
