Sometimes I feel like the only person in the world who is grateful for Mondays. But, seriously, after the weekend, I'm refreshed and productive and happy. I've been known to get into the office at 7 am on a Monday (today was not one of those days). I get so much done, and I'm not completely exhausted at the end of the day.
I'm also grateful for little babies and new life. I went out to lunch with coworkers today, and on our way back we saw a teeny-tiny baby in a stroller. I was amazed by how small he was, how fragile he seemed. I would be afraid to pick up somebody so delicate.
And so I am also grateful for mothers. Yesterday was Mother's Day, but since my mom died four years ago, it's been a hard day for me to deal with and I try not to think about it. Today, though, after seeing that baby, I can be grateful for moms who bring such delicate little lives into the world and grow them up into people.

Mmm... I like this entry of yours.
I'm feeling particularly happy about Mondays today. Likely because of the beautiful spring weather, along with the fact that today was the first Monday in months that I didn't have to start teaching at 8am. Now I'm happily watching the West Wing marathon and enjoying life.
