Monday 19th January is ‘Blue Monday’ or the most depressing day of the year. There isn’t a scientific reason behind this, but supposedly we’re all broke, it’s cold, motivation is probably lacking, there’s a post-holiday slump and the short daylight hours all contribute to low feelings.
Samaritans have sought to make this day more positive by renaming it ‘Brew Monday’, and to encourage conversations about big things, little things, over a cup of tea, coffee, hot chocolate, glass of milk, whatever you want.

So, no words of wisdom today, just a gentle reminder to talk, to reach out to someone you know, over a cuppa, in person, over the phone, via Zoom, however works for you, and know that you’re not alone and that if things aren’t quite the way you want them right now, they will get better.
