I like this story.

It truly is easy to kind of mentally get caught up in a handful of small negatives. I have been mostly an upbeat person. I always thought I was just born that way. Still, through hard times, for a moment it was hard to see the light. Fortunately, that hardly ever lasted for too long.

I am good at talking myself up, but I will admit I have to do that more as I've aged than I did before. If I look at the over all picture of my current situation, I have it made, but momentarily there are so many things that need to be done and gotten into order, it mentally looks like one of those broken tree and debris jam-ups in the floods!
