Monday morning motivation

Monday Monday, so good to me,
Monday Monday, it was all I hoped it would be
Oh Monday morning, Monday morning couldn't guarantee
That Monday evening you would still be here with me.

Your attitude will set the tone for the hour, the day, the week. Wake up on Monday morning excited, energized and positive.
