January is a month often associated with lonliness and depression which can be attributed to coming down from a high of Christmas festivities.
The glitz and tinsel of Christmas has been removed, friends and family have gone back to their normal routine and homes, credit card bills start arriving through the post, the general good cheer of Christmmas has well and trully disappeared.
January is for most a time of new beginnings, new year resolutions and the setting of new goals. In a sense, January represents the tenacity of the human spirit; the ability to turn from despair to positive thinking. The "I really over did it at Chistmass" syndrome is now replaced with the positive aspiration to "loose weight", "go off alcohol", "take up a new hobby". For all of us January is a positive month of decision making, setting new targets and looking forward.
