It's Monday, new week, new page to scribble on. I'm "man down" today so this is short and simple...

This cold snap has been the hardest on my chest since records began.
It's really making me rethink my "I'd rather be cold and warm up than hot and try to cook down" philosophy.

TFiF! We've made it to end of the first full (standard) working week of 2026 and if you're still in something resembling one piece (physically or mentally speaking or both) then I reckon that's a win. If it's been a rough ride, I hope you find something in your resilient nature to give hope.

Thursday, hammer time! I hope the descent form the midweek peak goes as smoothly as possible for you, my friends. If life does throw up some unexpected detours, I hope your inner awesomeness doesn't let you down in dealing with them.

Midweek peak, first of the year, and I hope the ascent to here hasn't been too tough and that you're faring ok my friends - be it summer or winter where you are. You have the ability to be a source of wondrous awesomeness, may you embody it fully!

So my own personal spiritual path has wound its way back to Methodism. Full circle seeing as it's where this all started at Sunday school. Happened over a year ago but wanted to see how it went before posting about it.

Tuesday, whether yours is run of the mill, a bit out of the ordinary or a bit of a trying one, I wish you success and also I'd like to paraphrase ST:TNG and say "You can do everything right and still fail", so be kind to yourself in review of things.

January's first Monday. Things kick back in today for many, and if that's the case for you I hope it goes as well as it can. May your 100% completion rate for Mondays continue unabated and your inner awesomeness flow on 11.

Here in the midst of Twixtmas, deep in the Chrimbo Limbo, I hope you are fairing well my friends. If you're running on nothing but festive cheer, chocolate ,coffee or spite of forces that would end us, then that's more than fine, whatever gets you through my friends.

It's Christmas Eve! If you're not all sorted then you're up against the clock - good luck.
May the day feel as festive as you'd like it to and may you be able to pass on a bit of Christmas cheer as you go about your day. Jingle 'em if you've got 'em.

The last Monday before Christmas, if you work in retail or hospitality then my thoughts are with you (I know from experience how that goes). Remember, you've come through so many Mondays that you should fear them, Monday should fear you.

We stumble out of Monday into Tuesday, bits of tinsel sticking out here and there and maybe carried more than momentum than intent but that's fine. Keep doing your best, know that no-one expects you to be everything all the time, and keep being fabulous.
