Boos to The Winter Blues

25 Jan

 

Is your mood ring murky?

Got the winter blahs?  The blues?  Perhaps Seasonal affective disorder?

Are you somewhere between Siberia and Sacramento on The Misery Index?

You’re in style. The winter blues are the new black.

Are you tired? Do you have Low T?    Do you poop out at Pilates?

The problem with January… It’s December weather without the presents,

all those vacation days, the Christmas music, the parties, the good cheer, the

holiday food binges, the candy, the tidings of comfort and joy, and the Ho, Ho, Ho.

January is a reality slap in the frosty kisser.  Diet. Exercise. Payroll taxes. Fiscal

colonoscopies. Gynecologist visits. The dentist. The MasterCard  bill. Arrgh!

Also, January is way too long! 31 days of struggling to keep those lofty new year’s

resolutions is pushing the limit for most of us.

DON’T let that fresh page of hope that was January 1st become a big “F” (“forget it”).

Keep the other “F” – faith.

    Good point (or bad point). January is 31 days. ARGH. My dear daughter is a late January bday and she always complains she was born in the worst month. Oprah, WC Fields, Tom Selleck. They were all born on her birthday. I guess good things come from those blue weather days.

    January is a long holiday free month, but I like it better than November. November is dreary, the days are getting shorter and there’s all that Christmas shopping to worry about.

    January the days are getting longer and sometimes they’re even bright. The only holiday hiding around the corner is Valentine’s and usually I’m pretty successful with ignoring that one.
