It's gonna be a good, good day
Rain or shine, no I don't mind, this day is mine
Monday: The day voted most likely to make you want to stay in bed
Moxie: Confidence, determination, force of character
Monday Moxie: A tiny spark of “Go get ‘em!” curated by yours truly to help you get your day (even a Monday) off to a good start
Happy Monday!
It hardly feels like I had a weekend. How about you?
We had a pretty good snowstorm here Saturday night into Sunday morning. There was much shoveling to be done, so at least I got my cardio in. More importantly, I was mostly dug out before the pretty snow turned to stinging rain, which is expected to freeze overnight and create a whole other level of mess out there.
February is not my favorite month.
With all that in mind, I felt like I needed something a little “extra” this morning, so I bring you “Good, Good Day” by Lady Bri.
I first heard this song during a Peloton class. I have been feeling super guilty about the fact that I haven’t gotten on the damn bike since August, but my evening schedule has been a bit upended lately, leaving no time to clip in. Ah well … sacrifices must be made.
The good news is that even though I’m not riding at the moment, I can still enjoy the music I’ve discovered through the instructor playlists. This is definitely one of my favorites, and a great track to play first thing in the morning to put you in a positive frame of mind.
I especially love this line:
Rain or shine, no I don't mind, this day is mine
Some days are full of sunshine and good vibes. Some days, not so much. But no matter what the “weather” is outside, every single day is YOURS. The good, the bad, and the ugly … you’ve got to deal with them all. But when all is said and done, this day is yours to do with as you will. What are you going to do with it? How are you gonna spend it? Who will you share it with?
Anyway, I hope this song puts a little pep in your step and a smile on your face.
See you Thursday!
P.S. Happy Black History Month 💜
Good, Good Day

I feel you on the Peloton guilt! I've been in an exercise slump myself lately, and it's tough to find the motivation to get back on track. It's great that you're still finding inspiration in the music, though. Sometimes just listening to a song that gets you pumped up can be enough to spark that little bit of 'Monday Moxie' we all need. Maybe we can start a virtual accountability group to help each other get back into our workout routines?
So positive despite the mess outside! Way to bring the energy. I regret that I missed it this morning but I’ve added it to my liked songs, and I’ll have to give it a good listen first thing tomorrow morning! Thank you Jamie!
