Calling a Mulligan

posted on January 9, 2010

This past week seemed to suck for a lot of people. Me included.

I loved my time off during the holidays. Campfire shuts down to allow all of us to enjoy the holidays to the fullest. I know others do this as well.

JUMPGoing back to the office and everything else after a break is never an easy thing and my theory is that when so many people around the world do this at once it is going to boil up like it did this past week. I don’t remember what it was like a year ago, but I bet it was similar.

So, I’m calling a mulligan. I don’t play golf, but it is the one thing I’ve always liked. You mess up, you call a mulligan. It is a restart, a do over. I think we collectively need to take mulligan from this past week.

Me? I already called mine and am going to jump into the next week with a positive approach and plan on using the weekend to recharge.

This weekend I’m going to a very overdue lunch with a friend and then beginning work on redoing our bathroom. Plus, it is Wild Card Weekend in the NFL so I’ve got four football games to watch. (Ravens, Bengals, Eagles & Packers if you are curious)

So, don’t harp and focus on the past week. Use this weekend to recharge and then jump into Monday in a better mood and with nothing but positive energy. Don’t ever fear the mulligan. It is a great thing.

    CC – Couldn’t be better put. I had a similar start of the week and would rather consider it stretching and a warm-up for the next one. Happy 2010!

    What you said. This week was a toughie, on so many fronts. But even today, waking up with a fresh cup of coffee and the giggles of my daughter, I’m feeling refreshed and like I can make a run at it again.

    Listen, we’re human. Bad days (or weeks) are allowed. The key is in the recovery, and of course, in supporting the people you care about when they get a kick in the teeth or two. :)

    Hang in there, my friend, and let’s do this.

    I am completely in favour of this idea. This week was should be considered the hangover period after 2009: The Year to Forget (or perhaps learn from so as to prevent another similar year from occurring).

    Good gravy, man, did I ever need a mulligan, too!

    And for the record, giving yourself permission to be in a foul mood for the first couple of days doesn’t work out as well as you’d think. You end up with a “bad mood hangover” on Wednesday, and the need to redo half the work you got done under the influence of a bad attitude. Yuck.

    I’m going to save my mulligan for now!
