Any Given Monday ENCOURAGEMENT! is a book in which I give Monday, the most dreaded day of the week, acknowledgment as the day of ENCOURAGEMENT! Monday is usually the start of the work week for most and the beginning of a new week for many. Monday tends to be the blame day for things going wrong. Think about it, usually when you ask someone, "How's your day going?" on a Monday and things are not going good, what do they say? "It's a Monday!" Things can be a little challenging any other day of the week, but what do you hear? It's Monday all over again!
