Hmm. Trite but true.

A day when I'm depressed is a very bad day. Hence, a day when I'm not depressed is definitely, at least relatively speaking, a good day. Why did I only just notice that?

Duuuuhhhhhh!

Seems obvious in hindsight doesn't it.

It's the same thing with physical pain. When you are in pain, it's rough. But when you are on baseline, you have to force yourself to remember what pain is like to try to appreciate when you feel normal. And that doesn't come automatically, 99% of the time you just don't take the time to realize you feel good.

Meh I'm sure I could explain that way better in way less words, but whatever, I hope my point is understood.

I suppose the corollary is that a day when a relationship isn't going badly means that it's going well that day. ;)

Your point was understood. And agreed with - I'm getting a lot of benefit out of being more conscious of the small things, of my preconceptions and of how lucky I really am.

Yes - unsane1 tuned me into them. You're lucky - I'm envious *grin*

Hmmm. Maybe. I'm not sure that relationships work on the same sort of scales, but then I just commented to someone else that I'm getting a lot of happies out of appreciating the small things, so maybe you're right.

Hope all is well :)
