Dear Pastor,

There is probably no reason to tell you. You already know that folks in Colorado suffer the doldrums in January, February, and March. The holidays are past, the daylight is still in short supply, and problems that have been put off tend to surface again.

It’s no surprise that the day children return to school in January is the day of the year with the most divorce filings.

So, I’m offering this reminder to be on the watch for people in stress. Clearly, the depression and anxiety will be worse this year due to the economy.
