The most depressing day of the year…
I have been sad for some time. I need to remind myself, I do have much to be grateful for. Like the wafting aroma of a slow cooking beef stew which I am making right now. The scent will soon to be mixed in with a fresh loaf of bread in the oven. I have the ability to provide for myself and create delicious meals form scratch. the is one thing to be grateful for.
Random thoughts, regarding formalities.
One says good morning, one eats a mid morning snack. or one wakes up early morning. Is an 11am snack considered a mid morning shack? It cannot be the middle of the morning though, as on one hour it becomes afternoon as 12PM. What ie constitutes Morning. 4am. to midnight, perhaps for some, 6 am is likely more realistic.
When you look at the afternoon, the time noon to 6PM? Formalities are usually good day, good afternoon. Once again what would mid afternoon be? Logistically 3PM, but I have seen it referenced as 4pm. Who decides this stuff.
Now the longest part of the day, 12 hours form 6pm to 6am. Evening/Night. Darkness is nightfall, but night is also the evening. is evening 6 to 9 or 6 to 10? Does night officially start at 9 or 10? People say good evening as a greeting, but do not say good night. That is usually bid as a farewell, and not a hello. Maybe after 9pm people can start to say good night my friend. Is this considered confusing? There is  an early evening, and a late evening, but late evening is also night, and then there is late night, what is considered late night 11pm or 2am? Who decides all of this. Is there a guide somewhere that can help us to establish this all.
Does this confuse you and much as it did me?
Happy Blue Monday. Don’t do anything stupid today.
