My Technique for Improving A Melancholy Monday

I’m not a fan of "Mundane" Mondays.

I love my weekends. Doesn’t everyone?

Monday mornings, we all go back to our daily routines and grind out another week until…YIPPEE…it’s Friday again.

There are three things capable of providing me with an attitude adjustment for days like "Monday". One actually has science behind it and the others…I’m calling some sort of science behind them, too.

Exercise, Treats, and A Lovely Chat.

Exercise and Chat. Check and Check!

Now for the treat. My usual “go to” for these days is a cupcake. But today, I felt like a major shift was needed so I headed to The Standard Market, my local place. I knew exactly the case I would beeline for, the frozen one.

Here it is! It makes me happy just looking at it!

ICE CREAM!!!

These are some of the flavors I’ve tried:

Askinoisie Dark Milk Chocolate

Roxbury Road

Queen City Cayenne

Pistachio and Honey

Backyard Mint

Hummingbird Cake

Brown Butter Almond Brittle

Blueberry Crisp

Salty Caramel

Dark Chocolate

The Milkiest Chocolate In The World

Ugandan Vanilla Bean

I chose two and served up a BIG bowl for lunch.

Guilty pleasure.

Hit the spot.

Changed the direction of my day!

Simple things.

Which flavor(s) would you pick?
