Janis Joplin once famously said that the worst day of the week is Sunday AND they close the bars? This is one of the very few times I disagree with the great lady of Rock/Soul/Blues. Mondays are the worst: First day of bullshit school, a tedious job, or just doing our best to make some sense out of a life that is often brutal and coarse.
I don't know the exact stats, but more people off themselves on Monday than any other day of the week. At least as best I can remember from reading The Savage God. That includes the U.S. and UK.
Well, music has always helped me in a huge way, so I offer this sublime little tune by The Mamas and Papas.
And I pledge that we all should do our best to at least make it to Tuesday. Sorry for such a grim post, but this wretched weather is clearly doing rather odd things to my mind and emotions. It will be better tomorrow, they always say. I hope this proves to be true for once. Now wouldn't that be nice?

Music always helps me in a huge way, too, and I haven't heard this once-popular tune in a long time. I'm glad you shared it.
ReplyDeleteYour post isn't grim - - I feel the same way. I hope that the weather improves and the rest of your week will be brighter.
I thank you much, Jon. Hope you have an awesome weekend :-)
