Most depressing day?

I heard on the radio earlier that it has been scientifically determined that today – the third Monday in January – is the most depressing day of the year.
I didn’t hear what factors are used in determining this, but I can only assume it has something to do with credit card bills relating to excessive spending over the Christmas period arriving about now, allied to the good cheer of the holidays wearing off, allied to the fact that most new year resolutions will be broken about now, allied to the weather not showing any signs of improvement yet, allied to the fact that the summer hoildays are just about as far away as they could possibly be…. I guess you get the message
But really, it’s just another Monday, like any other Monday, and if you take that logic another step…. it’s just another day, and you can make it as ordinary or as special as you want it to be.
Earlier, I put a little link on my twitter page to a website with positive sayings from famous people, and I got loads of positive responses. Based on that, my scientific research concludes ‘not everyone sees the third Monday in January day as being a write-off.
I spent some time over the weekend driving around the Irish countryside, and I was pleasantly surprised to note the increasing amount of houses that have Solar panels installed on the roofs. What really impressed me is that these are not all new houses. To me, this indicates that there is a slow but definite move towards renewables and micro-generation amongst the Irish population. I think this is an important and positive trend, and one that we will see accelerate over the coming months of 2010 and into 2011, as fossil fuel prices continue to increase and carbon taxes become more mainstream.
Ogham Sourcing is currently working with a number of Chinese manufacturers of Solar Panels with a view to finding a supplier or a range of suppliers whose products are suitable for the Irish Environment. If your business is involved in, or considering involvement in any area of renewables, and is considering sourcing these products from China, you need to talk to Ogham Sourcing
