You'd think that having been around as long as I have I would be able to handle life better.  It is such a roller coaster and I admit that the ups and downs do affect me.  Any given day is full of so many incidences and some are okay, some are negative and some are really nice. Sometimes a day might have a really bad thing too.  I wish that I were immune to all of them.  No highs. No lows.  But I guess a little emotion either way is necessary.  The opposition of it all requires some level of engagement.  So today engaged me.  There were some bright spots and some dull spots.  I lived through them both and now at the end of my day I count a few more positive then negative.   I guess that that makes it a good day.  Would have like more, but settling is important to learn too.  Afet a whole heap of Mondays I don't see today being very different from the other ones.  Coming off of a weekend has its own challenges as well as its good points.  Mostly you get through it and figure that Tuesday will usually build on it and be just that much better, and the week will continue that way.  So Monday, good bye. Hello Tuesday.  And before you know it it'll be Saturday and I'll get ready to start all over again.
