Monday Morning

It Could Be Worse...

An overcast Monday morning. This is something that rolls around only once a week. People are always dreading this "Monday Morning" because that means the start of a new work week or another 5 days of responsibilities that always somehow slip away during the weekend. Many of these "Monday Mornings" are spent commuting to work, packing your kids lunches or cramming for the exam you forgot about. For some people, they go smooth and it's just another average day at the office or school but people will find something to complain about because why wouldn't they, its human nature. For the unlucky few, this "Monday Morning" is spent in a doctors office with un-wishful news or on the side of the road after an accident that totaled their car.

In society, people are always finding the negatives in different situations without realizing how good they have it. Although things may not always fall in your favor and not everything is always rainbows and unicorns, you woke up this morning and that should be enough. It could be worse!

We need to make it a point to smile at the person next to us in the Starbucks line instead of looking down at our phones and ignoring them. If we start little by little looking up from our phones and enjoying all life has to offer, people will start to follow the trend. Little acts of kindness can brighten someones day immensely because you never know if they were the person in the doctor's office or on the side of the road in the accident this morning.

I am going to a rhyme without reason date function and I have looked at so many different rhyming words and I figured there need to be a new list of words. At these functions, there are usually at least two rockers and boxers and an umpteenth amount of dogs and frogs. I have come up with a list of creative and unique ideas for these functions.

Epic Creation Myths: Norse Origins Unveiled

What happened in the beginning, and how the heavens were set in motion.

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.

We all scroll through the radio stations in the car every once in a while, whether its because we lost signal to our favorite one or we are just bored with the same ol' songs every day. You know when you're going through and you hear a song where you're just like "I forgot this existed!" and before you know it, you're singing every word? Yeah, me too. Like, 95% of the time. If you're like me and LOVE some good throwback music, here's a list of songs from every genre that have gotten lost in time, but never truly forgotten.
