Blue Monday ...


It's official - Monday 19th January 2009 is the date regarded as the most depressing day of the year. So I think we should all think of a few 'Reasons to be Cheerful' (with apologies to Ian Drury).

New born babies.

Sunshine - and rain.

Families.

Friends.

Having a roof over our head.

Having food on the table.

Good health.

Chocolate - and more chocolate !!!

Gin and tonic (funny how that one popped into my head after the chocolate!)

Books - and being able to read.

Music.

Freedom of speech.

Religious freedom.

& etc. ... The list is endless - Please feel free to add your own.

Official? Says who?

Well, 'official' is said with tongue firmly planted in cheek! There are always some people 'out there' ready to calculate the most 'depressing', 'happy', 'lucky', 'advantageous to marry/buy a house/car', etc. day of the year. I saw this on the BBC web site and thought it might be a bit of fun to comment on it.

Of course, Mass - it goes without saying ;)
