Appreciating the better days

Fall is definitely on the way. The past couple weeks have been full of gray days and seasonal changes. That means havoc in my body. I journal regularly and know that there are better times of the year for me (that's why my mom says I should move to Arizona where there aren't as many weather cycles). It's not fall yet; it's not even cold yet; but the changes are happening and I can already tell.

How come so many of us recognize the not-so-good days before we recognize the better days? Next spring, I am going to appreciate the better days as soon as they happen.

This year, I spent a couple weeks wondering if these were better days or just my imagination. I spent time rationalizing what I was feeling. I questioned if what I was feeling was real. Now, I realize that I need to treat the better days the same as the not-so-good days -- accept them immediately.

It might sound like a small thing to many of you, but for me, this is a major breakthrough. Have a good one!
