Blue Monday?

Today is Blue Monday:(

According to psychologists, the third Monday in January is the worst day of the year - New Year's resolutions have been broken, credit card bills arrive, the post Festive season come down fully grips the country.

Various newspapers reported on this today and the research Action Aid had commissioned which revealed that people are at their happiest when helping others. There were also various solutions offered on how to combat this unhappiest of all days - engaging in random acts of kindness, giving to charity, flirting, listening to birdsong, giving a compliment to someone, listening to New Order, singing, dancing or keeping a journal.

So thank you Blipfoto for helping me get through this!

The bluest thing about my Monday was the fabulously blue sky in Edinburgh - it was glorious and the saddest thing? Having to close the blinds as there was too much sunlight reflecting on our computer screens!

I hope you all have managed to get through this day - only Happy Mondays from now on :)
