Symmetry

I like the symmetry when the first of a month lands on a Monday.  A new month, a new week, a new beginning. 

Of course, calendars are a human construct, it’s made up and artificial. 

But these artificial constructs can bring structure and reliability to our lives.

The repetition, the reliability, the “here it comes again” expectation help to give us a framework – scaffolding – to build our lives and our goals on. 

The opposite is change, uncertainty, and confusion.  And yet, with all of that, Monday still comes.  So does a new month.  This is a structure to hang onto.
