Are the January Blues Real?

January gets a bad rap. Think about it... it's the first month of a brand new year, a year full of awesome possibilities!

But then we then like to cram a lot of new beginnings into January! I'm looking at you... New Year Resolutions.

On top of that, it's one of the darkest, gloomiest months. The days are short. The nights are long. The weather is cold, wet, windy or snowy.

We've also just come off of the "high" of the holiday season. People travel. They visit family. They might go on vacation to sunnier climes. There are parties and celebrations and general joy and festivities. People get time off from work and school. Yay! And then... the reality of a return to "normal life" hits once January rolls around. Ugh!
