BLUE MONDAY?
Monday January 6, 2014 7:55 am
Well, it seems that this day keeps
arriving a little earlier each successive January. Supposedly feeling
“blue” or this being the unhappiest day of the year for a
majority of people is a combination of having many bad things
happening at once, which affects people's moods and their general
outlook on life. The formula for predicting this date was derived
from several factors, e.g., weather, debt, (I suppose credit card
bills from Christmas buying has just hit mailboxes) failed New Year
resolutions... REALLY, less than a week in? HAHAHA and a few other
factors are also used to try and come up with this unhappy day?
I think it could be accurately summed
up as people coming to grips with the fact of this being the 'first
day of the rest of your life' analogy and realizing it's really just
another take on the SSDD syndrome... and even I have to admit than
could be depressing! Regardless, it will be a fact that there will be
a great spike in divorce filings today as well as bankruptcy
petitions being submitted, etc. etc. etc. So, if you are on social
media sites such as FB, Twitter, Pinterest, or any others I would
imagine you are in for a barrage of negativity today.
So, maybe the handful of people who
might read this blog today can and will buck this trend of unhappy
people, and if for no better reason than wanting to be different we
will try and find a way to be happy today! “No?” Well,
truth-be-told it seemed like BS to me when I just typed it too. So,
let's join the group and play along and find some reason, any reason,
to just be mad as hell! In fact, let's do as Howard Beale did and all
repeat after me, “I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take this
anymore!” HAHAHA Seriously, maybe at least sometime today you can
find some time to find a copy of that old movie and watch it again,
(Network) it really was pretty good.
In spite of 'Blue Monday' I hope all
who reads this has a really good day today! Me, I'm getting ready to
fix eggs, toast, and strong black coffee for breakfast and after that
I'm going to brave this 1 degree temperature (and still falling) and
I'm going to the gym for a bit. And as a reminder, all who are
directly east of us (like WV) might be enjoying temperatures in the
high 20's as you awake but don't feel too smug :) Because this air is
moving quickly west to east and you will be dropping in temps all day
long! I know, if you weren't depressed before you are now, right?
Have a good day :)
