Blue Monday

I was surprised to find this article which said today was the most depressing day of the year and must admit that I had almost begun to feel the effect right from waking up…… the day began horrendously, with me waking up late and everything being late as a result ( to put it mildly).
To realize that I’m being governed by super forces of a ‘Blue Monday’ sent a shiver down my spine making me dislike ‘Monday’s even more.

Excerpt from the article:

“If you don't like Mondays, you'll really hate today. It's officially been named Blue Monday by a psychologist and former tutor at Cardiff University, who has used a mathematical formula to prove that it's the most depressing day of the year.
Dr Cliff Arnalls cites foul weather and failed New Year resolutions as major contributors to this state of affairs. Also high on his list of contributing factors are debts built up over Christmas, the arrival of the bills for the season of goodwill and the anticipation of a pay packet that may well be too small to cover them.
Dr Arnalls believes many of us also have a guilty feeling that we should be doing something to put things right, and that's another contributor to this malaise.”
