The weather was...typical autumn weather for this area, I was inside all day. Turned on my electric fireplace. I only had one moment where I was really upset and negative, but it passed more swiftly than it would have even last week. I'm really seeing improvements now. I looked through my mood/gratitude journal and I've been in a good mental state for 7 days now. That is more than I've had in a long time. I'm crossing my fingers and hoping it continues like this. I don't expect that life will stop giving me challenges, or be irritating or exhausting, but it seems I can shift back to a better mindset faster than I was.

I realize all the annoying things, inconveniences, and stuff...everyone has them. It's not that I have particularly bad luck or anything. Realizing this brought me a lot of peace. I guess it depends on your attitude how long these annoyances bother you. I'm learning.
