15th January: Acknowledging Blue Monday

Today marks what's popularly known as Blue Monday, often described as the most challenging day of the year. It's a time when the holiday cheer has faded, and many of us might feel the weight of the cold winter, short days, and post-holiday blues.

But let's take this opportunity to remind ourselves and each other that it's okay not to be okay. Today, let's reach out, connect, and share warmth and kindness. Whether it's a call to a friend, a kind gesture to a stranger, or just some time to reflect and care for yourself, every small act counts.

Remember, behind the clouds, the sun still shines.

Hello. Just a cozy reminder as we dive into the holiday season. Christmas isn't always tinsel and perfectly wrapped presents. It can stir up all sorts of feelings.

Let's take a moment to appreciate the simple joys and connections that make Christmas special. Whether it's a quiet night in, a festive stroll, or a chat with a friend, these moments hold the true spirit of the season.

If you're navigating mixed feelings during this time, know that it's completely okay. Reach out to those who bring warmth to your heart or simply take a breath and savor the present.

Wishing you all a Christmas filled with genuine moments and the coziness of the season. Here's to finding joy in the little things!

Just consider that for a moment.

The recent exploration of Mars has me thinking about our place in the big universe. 🪐✨

In counselling, we explore your thoughts and feelings, just like we explore the mysteries of space. It's a journey of understanding yourself better. 🌌💪

While we gaze at the stars, don't forget the most important journey is the one within. Let's start your counselling journey together. 🌠🌱

How does the universe's wonders inspire your path to self-discovery? 🤔💬 🪐🧡

Curiosity is healthy and at the Yellowknife Bay area

The images for panorama obtained by the rover's 34-millimeter Mast Camera. The mosaic, which stretches about 30,000 pixels width, includes 128 images taken on Sol 137 (Detsember 25, 2012).

All Curiosity's subsystems and instruments are healthy and operations are nominal. Curiosity is continuing remote sensing observations in the scientifically interesting Yellowknife area and downlinking stored science data over the holiday period while the operations team takes some well deserved vacation time.

As the leaves turn from green to gold and the air fills with the crisp scent of autumn, it's the perfect time to reconnect with nature. 🌿

Taking a stroll in the woods, away from the well-worn path can create an opportunity to really pay attention to the surrounding. After all you will need to mind your steps on the uneven surface.
In the tranquility of the woods, you'll find a space for reflection, a moment to slow down, and an opportunity to appreciate the beauty around you. 🌲🌼

This autumn, step outside.

Counselling sessions can be creative.
