It might not have appeared this way but, I still believe that Mondays matter greatly.



So to catch us up: here are four (three for the ones I missed in Oct and then one for this particular Monday) things to do that will help make your Monday matter more:


1. Protect yourself with Internet Safety- Research shows that the emotional impact of internet identity theft has been parallel with that of victims of a violent crime. Keep yourself from becoming one of the 5,479 that are victimized this way daily.

2. Change Your Lightbulbs- By changing over to a compact flourescnet lightbulb you can save $30 over the life of the bulb and they will last up to 10x longer than your regular bulbs. If every home replaced 5 frequently used lights bulbs with CFL bulbs, close to $8 billion a year in energy costs could be saved.

3. Register to Vote- 71 million eligible voters didn't vote in the 2004 presidential election. That's a shame. Especially considering how hard some people fought for everyone to earn the right to vote and gain a say in how our country is run. Let's change this!

4. PARTY with a purpose- $747 is the average amount spent annually on holiday gifts. Every week there are: 79,623 births, 42, 884 weddings, and 5, 812,037 birthdays! This year if everyone gave up their birthday gifts, more than $3million could be donated to a worthy cause or a charity. So next time you party, party for a cause bigger than yourself!
