Happy Monday! Or maybe not? It seems everyone is usually down on Mondays, but we hope yours is starting off just great!

The Bangles called it "Manic Monday" in their 1986 hit, and 20 years before that The Mamas and the Papas said "you can find me cryin' all the time" in their hit "Monday Monday". Most people dread Monday, officially considered the second day of the week, because it's the first work day. But remember, holidays such as Memorial Day and Labor Day give us reason to love Mondays as that extra day off! So give Monday a chance, it might surprise you ;)
