A Card To Combat Blue Monday


Have you ever heard of Blue Monday?

A professor did a study and found that yesterday, the third Monday in January, is the most depressing day of the year. The study cited the fact that Christmas bills start to roll in at this time. Coupled with this is the weather (typically rotten) and the fact that most of us haven't socialized since the holidays, and you get the Monday blues...on steroids!

I will admit, I succumbed to Blue Monday. I woke up with a terrible homesickness for Pittsburgh. Not that the weather was any better in Pittsburgh, but like I always used to say, Pittsburghers made their own sunshine.

I took that Pittsburgh spirit and applied it to a card!

Wherever you are and whatever the weather, I hope you can make your own sunshine today.

Blessings, cafe friends!

    1. Been there, done that, Tammy! Now, it seems like my long days are most likely attributed to my dog! LOL!

  3. We Pittsburghers have lots of "sunshine" right now since the Steelers are still in the playoffs! Beautiful, bright card!
