I don't know if it's the heat or inactivity but my day has kind of ramped into

a day where I just didn't care so much anymore.

I mean just writing this is making me look back on the day and appreciate that there were

happier moments and more value to how I thought about things.

I got some things done today and then came back to the house.
I go to work tomorrow - start of the workweek- so that will inspire me.

I hope you guys are having good times, or if it's rough, that you will remember that good moments

will come back to you.

You always seem to be able to see the positive in your days. :)

thanks becky. I try to be real honest with myself like that. Those moments can come and undercut me in a big way but then I have to look back and say to myself 'hey, weren't you happy like 20 minutes ago??':) That helps me balance out.

Sorry to hear mark. I'm not there with you. I am actually having a pretty good run at the moment so this is a good time for me to look at myself and write about how I feel to remember later on I suppose if I am to hear what your saying and apply it. So your post has helped me realise what I should be doing right know. Exploring why I feel so good and putting it in a form that I can get at and remember later on.

I hope it cheers you up realising you have helped someone else with your wise suggestion.

Thanks for the reminder Mark. I get to going to a dark place when inactive for awhile too. It's a catch 22 when the depression sets in though. Don't feel like moving so you feel worse but it's like walking through mud some days!

Hiya. Good for you seeing the positive in the day. I guess if I can do that I might feel better. I’m looking at the big picture which depresses me. Little things
