As I did this, I started noticing the good moments. The good experiences. The good days and weeks that eventually became good months and now I’m well into a decade that has actually been pretty good.

That doesn’t mean that there haven’t been bad experiences. Difficult things. Painful things, even. But my overall outlook isn’t negative anymore. It’s by and large pretty neutral, tending towards positive. And, I’ve gotten some well needed rest. 😉
