On Saturday, I had the kids and I was in the swings, in a park nearby. I always loved it and I enjoy singing while doing it — yes, even as a grown man — even though it makes me dizzy for days afterwards. My best friend was there and I told him: "This is a good day" and he replied "Very good", so I said "No, I mean in the grand scheme of my life, this is a good day" meaning not just good by the standards of the sh!tty last nine months. I was very happy to realize that I could not just survive a day, feel not-so-down, ignore my sitch for a few hours, etc. but to really have a good day, like it never happened. Earlier that day, I had a good morning with the kids practicing their biking skills, I had a pleasant text exchange with a woman, my friend had come with his family, the weather was gorgeous, and the plan for the evening was a barbecue. It was just a great day.
So life can be good, not just "good despite...". Know hope.
