As we embark on this holiday and muster up the Monday Motivation we'll all need to make it through, I'd like to take a moment to propose that we collectively declare this week liberty week.
And if that alone doesn't motivate you this Monday, then let me explain why...
And no, United States, it's not all about us...we need to wait our turn...
Today our neighbors to the North celebrate 152 years as the single nation of Canada we all know and love. Happy Canada Day! 
And, of course, Thursday, is the 243rd anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence ( give or take a few days), i.e. the day our Founding Fathers officially broke up with the UK. (New nation, who dis?)
Feeling motivated yet?
I mean how could all that uniting and working together not get you ramped up for a short week that ends in fireworks? (Hopefully the good kind.)
Just think of the work that needed to be done all those years ago to achieve the dream of our Founding Fathers (and Mothers, Sisters, and Brothers) that you are now realizing.
I mean, no pressure, but the expectations and aspirations of our ancestors is resting on your shoulders.
So, go forth this liberty week and do everything our nations' architects knew you could...you only have to make it through Wednesday...
...bi-daily smile...
