The mood tracking is a good idea, glad you are doing it, jog2011. I've done it for years now and it is mostly useful for me in terms of the mood patterns (how long they last etc. because I have a terrible concept of time), than triggers. Usually I write a brief note in there too, but it is hard to follow and connect. The most connections I've made have been in a notebook. Jotting thoughts when contemplating a given issue has proved interesting. Some are recent relevations, others appear from many years ago. Just a phrase or sentence. Somehow they do fall together fairly coherently and show patterns I otherwise wouldn't see. Just an idea.
