I was driving to pick up my kids today and I was listening to an upbeat song I’d just found. The weather is perfect, 74 degrees, blue skies, slight breeze, so I rolled my windows down and turned the music up as loud as my little van can handle. As I hung my arm out the window, I realized that today, at least for that moment, I was having a good day. I have energy today, my body doesn’t hurt all over, I even got some work done.

I immediately broke into tears because it’s been so long since my last good day. It’s such a relief to not have the exhaustion and pain bearing down on my soul, even if it’s just for today. I’m going to try to go sit in the sun and be present for my good day. I’ll worry about having another good day tomorrow. Today I just want to feel this feeling.
