If you can just make it through today...

...things can only get better. Because, according to a study from Cardiff University, January 23 is the most depressing day of 2006. Many factors figure in to this conclusion, and the wonderful psychologist forgot a few, so I was kind enough to add them in for him. Why is this day so depressing?
  1. It's a Monday.
  2. The weather.
  3. Accumulated debt from Christmas
  4. Lasting results of overindulgence during the holidays.
  5. Failure to keep New Year's resolutions.
  6. Length of time since Christmas.
  7. Lack of motivation.
  8. Tax-time looming ahead.
  9. Valentine's Day coming up. (This day is actually depressing for MORE people than it is exciting for!)
  10. SUPER BOWL SUNDAY WITHOUT THE PANTHERS!

So, if you can make it through today without banging your head against the wall too many times, than you'll make it!! It can only get better from here. Try to focus on your blessings.

Well the weather certainly is depressing, but not unexpected. Last week the temp was in the 50's and today it's snowing, which is far more normal for New England in January.

Lack of motivation is a problem I routinely face, unfortunately.

I have to deal with Super Bowl Sunday without the Patriots...but it should dtill be a great game. Go Steelers!!!

Nope, you're not alone Jessica, and there is a method to the madness, Kc.

Green, I'm glad you're chosing the Steelers! Yea!

It's all uphill from here, folks! Just think, you don't have the right to be this depressed again until next year!
