I often overlook those small subtle blessings. Today, I didn't get buried by the remorse of the past and future disaster scenarios that my mind concocts. When they arose today, somehow the strength of mind was there to disrupt them, and respond rationally, e.g., "I can't change the past. Let it go"..."I don't know what this intestinal problem is yet. Stop imagining the worst", etc. It led to a more bearable day. I may sink again tomorrow, but I'm grateful for the few degrees of improvement today.
