January can be a tough month after the excitement of Christmas and with the long nights, can’t it? That’s why today’s ‘Blue Monday’, so-named as the most difficult day in the year.
Last year, it was so good to make someone’s day a little brighter with a surprise gift, so we’ve done it again. This time by giving four surprise gifts to team members, randomly selected.
Other prize winners were Housekeeper, Paula Williams from Monkbarns in Arbroath; Kitchen Assistant, Adam Stewart from Brookfield in Carnoustieand Nurse, Lynsey Smith from Clement Park in Dundee.
Congratulations, all!
To cheer up Blue Mondays, The Samaritans have a campaign to change Blue Monday to Brew Monday reminding everyone to reach out for a cuppa and a catch-up with the people you care about..
So, take time to have a brew and a chat with someone this Monday – or any day – whether that’s colleagues, residents, our with friends, or at home with loved ones.
As the Samaritans say:
“Any day can be a Brew Monday. It doesn’t matter if it’s a Monday morning or Saturday night, or if you’re drinking green tea, black coffee or orange juice. If you’re sharing a cuppa and listening, you’re doing it right.”
