Happy(?) Gloomy Day!

The people who study such things have determined that January 23 is supposed to be the gloomiest day of the year. Apparently, the bills from Christmas have come in, you're smack in the middle of winter (well, if you aren't in Texas), your New Year's resolutions have already fallen flat, etc. It's the "perfect storm" for depression.

It did say that if you live in Texas, Florida or California you might have it a little less gloomy because the weather is nicer.

Oh yeah. The British are the overall gloomiest country. Malta, however, is the happiest. The USA pulls a 13th on the happiest levels. Mexico, Ghana and Uruguay are at the bottom of the list, too.

If you're married, you're supposed to be happier, too. And exercise helps.

Well, here's hoping your "life satisfaction index" is powerful enough to get through today without looking too much like Eeyore.
