It’s suprising how low January can make us feel. Cold, dark, broke, a little too tight in those jeans, and the final straw… those virtuous people who stop drinking alcohol in January! Don’t get me wrong, it’s a great idea and I’m sure I should folllow suite, but my chances of getting through the month without some cheery libation with dinner are frankly remote.The only good thing about it, is that it seems to almost have overtaken those people who used say terrible things like ‘I’m not going to eat chocolate or cake for a month…’ I mean that really is the limit!
Anyway to those of you who suffer from January like me here’s a cure – go and have a good laugh at something. My hubby and I took ourselves off to see Billy Connolly last week and we had 2 hours of laughter. Even he hadn’t been funny we would have laughed at the sound of everyone else’s belly laughs all around us. What a lucky man Billy is to have spent a lifetime having that effect on perfect strangers. We felt quite light headed for some time!
But you don’t have to go and see someone in a theatre, just wait until the 25th January and go and see a friend who said on the 1st I’m giving up alcohol this month, they’ll be in such a state – you have to laugh!
The moral of this tale must be, spread happiness!
