One promise I made to myself back when this all started was to find at least one positive in all the events that happened in my life, all the encounters, all the daily drudgery so to speak. When it didn't pop out at me, I looked harder. Sounds cheesy, but I always found something positive and when that shift happened, I found my " new way to be". Been away for a few weeks in terms of the positive, but am making my way back.
