I'm feeling blue

How did you feel today? Tired, sad, grumpier than usual?  You're probably not alone, as experts reckon today is one of the saddest days of the year.

Researchers say the third Monday in January is when people are more unhappy than at any other time in the year.

A mathematician said the date was devised to help a travel company to "analyze when people book holidays and holiday trends"and used many factors, including: weather conditions, debt level (the difference between debt accumulated and our ability to pay), time since Christmas, time since failing our new year’s resolutions, low motivational levels and feeling of a need to take action. One equation used by Arnall in 2006 was:

 Tt = travel time; D = delays; C = time spent on cultural activities; R = time spent relaxing; ZZ = time spent sleeping; St = time spent in a state of stress; P = time spent packing; Pr = time spent in preparation.

It seems to us rather complicated and not true! Here you have a song by Michale Bublé entitled Dream when you're Feeling Blue to enjoy this Monday
