Good Morning Cyberfriends! I am always anxious going back to work on Monday morning after being off for the weekend. I'm anxious a lot before leaving in the morning but Monday mornings are the worst. That feeling is intensified whenever it is an extended weekend. I've been off since the holiday and therefore the anxiety is higher this morning. I am sick to my stomach and it took everything I had not to call in this morning. I love my job so it has nothing to do with the job itself. It is simply getting out and going.

I know all I have to do is keep putting one foot in front of the other and that within a few hours I will feel fine. Every Monday that I feel this way and walk through the anxiousness is a victory. The worst thing I can do is to "give in" to this feeling and stay shut in. There were a few times this weekend that I didn't want to go do something fun and felt that anxiousness coming on. I go anyway and feel so much better when I do. I refuse to let my anxiety keep me from living my life. I feel better just writing it all out.

I hope all of you have a great day today! Linda
