I swear this cardinal is blowing a raspberry at us saying “Na Na Na Na Poo Poo – It’s Monday Again!”
Oh Monday…
You are a beginning,
and you are an end.
Like a glass that is half empty to one,
and half full to another.
You are just another day,
but oft with dreaded suspension.
Let us hang on to the hope,
that comes with your inception.

Cheers & Hugs,

Jodi, you are a POET! Excellent poem. I love the photo of the cardinal. We don’t have those here. Hope you have a wonderful Monday! ((Hugs!))

Trying to get some early practice PJ! 🙂 LOL! Lots of snow this morning in Mars and schools closed. Pretty inside looking out.

Cuuuooool! That is so awesome! I wish I could have worked from home at my job of 22+ years. No such luck.

I actually work from home more days than not (for now anyway) so am enjoying. I am VERY fortunate to love my job and have this freedom. I get so much more accomplished at home most of the time.

That is really neat. I would probably be just the opposite and not get as much done at home. But then, where I worked, the last department I was in I was “somewhat” isolated (which i loved!) and certain engineers would come in and sit for an hour or two talking to me. When they weren’t in my office I would be working my tail off catching up.

Well done, Jodi. I enjoyed your musings. It looks so frigid there. At least you have those beautiful windows to look out. Happy Monday!

Thanks Rebecca Lynn! Thanks means a lot as I am very new to this type of writing and having fun experimenting and expressing myself 🙂 It is cold, but beautiful, and I enjoy the four very distinct seasons we get to enjoy here in Mars!! 🙂

I do love a cardinal especially in snow. Are you getting slammed with this storm, Jodi?

Not exactly slammed, but about 5 inches and school is closed. Looks like a winter wonderland from my view in the woods, but my BFF and son told me the roads are fine out in the “civilized” world 🙂

Another beautiful poem, Jodi! You are capturing stunning images through your camera lens, my friend! Nothing brightens a cold, winter day more than a cardinal in the snow. I just love the ‘bokeh’ effect the snowflakes create! Stay warm and safe… and enjoy your snow day! ♡
