It's that time of year. We're right in the thick of winter. It's dark, it's cold, and Blue Monday is right around the corner.

January 19th, usually the third Monday of the month, is considered the most depressing day of the year.

It's when the post-holiday blues kick in, and reality starts to really set in. You notice the credit card bills are piling up, the debt, and those failed New Year's resolutions are now top of mind.

But here's the good news. The darkest days of winter are slowly getting brighter and brighter!

YES!!!

Sometimes you don't even notice it until something happens and you're like, yeah, it's staying lighter longer! It happened to me the other day, and it made me so happy!

Brighter Days Are Ahead In New Jersey

I noticed last week when I was taking down my outdoor Christmas lights. The timer that was set for when it was dark out was going off while it was now light. It was the best feeling ever!

Sunsets are stretching later and later each week, and before you know it, those long, sun-filled days will be back, and I can't wait!

Just a week ago, sunset was at 4:45 pm, and now look! 7 more minutes of sunlight! I'll take it!
