Monday Monday

Out of curiosity, I looked up the meaning of the word Monday. It means "the second day of the week, the first day of the work week." The names of the week stem from Roman mythology, (Monday- meaning moon/ luna in Spanish). Interesting that this past Monday was a full moon and possibly explains the sort of 'muddy' feeling along the week.

Anyway, it's a new Monday; it started a bit foggy this early morning, but the sun came out quickly. I soon had a smile on my face when I came across Frank's memorial on the street corner. The flowers had dried up, but there was a new note saying that a get together was being held in his honor. How beautiful it made me feel to know that he made a difference; he made a difference in my life. I ended up having a great Monday day, there is joy in my spirit.

Though I'm now feeling a bit pooped this evening, I just finished up my piece for today's "In The News' project. It's titled "How Lo Can You Go." I combined an image of J-LO's newsworthy American Idol deal with news of attempts to deport the children of immigrant workers from Israel. It bothered me to hear that children of foreign working families born and raised in Israel were being deported in order to ensure "the Jewish character of the state of Israel." I wonder where is Israel's compassion? Where is their God?

On another note, the piece here is titled "Blue Shadow." I choose this piece today just because I love it so much; It is one of my earliest pieces. Strange to think that it is over 10 years old.

And so if you are or were feeling some Monday blues, know that it is almost over and tomorrow is another day.

Cheers and Good Night.
