January 2nd is my least favorite day of the year.  It ranks right below tax day.  I am pretty lucky that these are my two saddest days of the year.  Anyway, I decided to create a series called “Make Monday Merry”.  Why?  Well, I think we all could use positivity  in our lives, especially on Mondays.  It just so happens January 2nd is a Monday this year so it is the perfect day to start.

How will this go down? My hope is that whatever I share will somehow make you smile, feel happy (merry) or inspire you in a positive way.  The plan is to primarily share on Instagram.  Do you follow me? If not, now is a great time ( crystalsatrianophoto ).  I will share quotes/photos/videos/etc that inspire me, make me smile, make me think, or make me merry.  There may be times I share on Facebook or on my blog.  Hopefully, they end up being something you look forward to on Mondays.

I thought this was fitting for the first share of 2017.  So many of us have wonderful dreams.  Our dreams aren’t always the same because we are all different.  We often close out one year deciding that the next year we will chase some dream of ours (big or small).  Maybe it’s because of tradition.  Maybe it’s being reminded there is an end.  Maybe we can’t believe that we blinked and 5 more years have passed.  Something about the New Year inspires us to dream and decide to finally go after that dream.  Some of us will hunt our dreams down without mercy.  Some of us will never really get started because of fear or thinking the dream is impossible.  Why bother?  Well, I am hoping you are able to dig deep this year and find the courage to go after that dream.  It may not be easy, but living with regret will be even harder.  You’ve got this!
