Happy Blue Monday!Yup, today, the third monday of January is calculated by a British psychologist to be the most depressing day of the year. It's the credit card bills rolling in, the realization all those problems you hoped a Hallmark Christmas would solve, weren't, and the dawning that there's fully another three months until spring arrives.
And here in Canada, that's enough to make a wooden statue cry.
So, to lift you from your blues, I offer a short list of stuff you have to feel good about. Concentrate on it for a few minutes before you dissolve into tears of frustration and depression:
1)regarding the credit card bills, you likely ran them up entertaining your friends and trying to buy the love of your family over the holidays. At least you have some friends! And you'll know better for next year on the buying of love thing.
2)also re: debt: interest rates are just about as low as they get right now. With some creative accounting and a friend at the bank, you can perhaps flip that high interest balance onto a renewed mortgage, so the interest you pay for the love you tried to buy won't be quite so devastating.
3) on the winter thing: we're going to celebrate winter in a few weeks at the olympics, where we'll either get to cheer our hockey teams to gold, or at least laugh at those smug Vancouverites who think they're so lucky when they don't have any snow.
And finally, remember this: even here in Canada, there has never yet been a winter that didn't end.
Right around April.
