I woke thinking today would be a good day.

Me too Grannybags . I do have a lot to be thankful for. A loving husband and a lovely family.

It takes a lot of hard work to be this miserable.

My sister says that something good happens every day, even on the bad days. It can be something as small as a smile from someone or a text from a friend or her daughter. I wish I was so positive!

You never know, it might be permanent grin

I might show that comment to DH merlotgran he will get a laugh out of it !

I am not sure I know how janeainsworth.

I am at work. On my own (well the guys are out back). I am trying to stay upbeat and excited about this "good thing" that might happen but reality is starting to kick in and I am struggling.

Can a good thing, just turn out to be not a bad thing? In other words, nothing bad happened today. sad

Enjoy the feeling, gilly. Like janea says, do something extra nice and indulgent.

Gillybob, hang on to that positive feeling. I firmly believe thinking positively helps with all the stuff life throws at us x

I am normally quite a negative sort of person. A pessimist. A glass that never had anything in it, in the first place. Someone who believes that if it can go wrong then it undoubtedly, will. A miserable cow

Strangely (for me)I woke this morning with a feeling that I haven't experienced for so long I can't remember the last time. I felt that today was going to be a good day. Don't know how. Or why.

It is 1.15 as I type this and wonder when my cut off time should be? shall I stay awake until midnight just in case I miss the "good thing" ? How will I know if and when it has happened?
