10 light suggestions for overcoming January depression

1. Don't expect anything and you won't be disappointed.

2. Read Psalms 88.  It's the best.

3. Make cookies for supper. No one will object.

4. Look at yourself in the mirror when you cry.

5. Tell your husband that you think you're transgender.

6. Just decide to vote for Donald Trump so you don't have to worry about the elections anymore.

7. Make your bed, so that you can feel smug.

8. Set a record for how long you can wear the same underwear day after day.

9. Spray your houseplants with glitter.

10. Go to the emergency room of the hospital and tell them you have chest pain. It's like a little overnight vacation.

    2. LOL!

      From a former LLBean employee, just so you have some context - they're virtually the same in the marketplace. That was fabulous!

  3. Roald Dahl said if he could, he'd trade January for two Julys. I would too.

    Sending love.

    1. In Phoenix, January isn't bad! Certainly wouldn't trade January for two Julys here.
