Blue Monday

Today is Blue Monday..dubbed by it's creator as the "most depressing day of the year." In 2005, psychologist Cliff Arnall set out to find which day was the most miserable. He used an elaborate mathematical formula and concluded the third Monday in January is the winner (or loser ;)

Why?
1. dreary January weather
2. failed New Year's resolutions
3. mailbox full of Christmas bills
4. eating and hibernating in force

Yikes! Knowing it is Blue Monday, here is my advice --> do something special for yourself and those around you. There are dozens of tiny things you can do to make a big difference throughout the day. Think random acts of kindness! And, the best part, doing good deeds will make you feel less blue too. ;) Good luck.
