Weird

[mdlbear]

Set out on my walk this morning, got to the top of the hill, and realized with total shock that I felt happy. It was the weirdest damned feeling.

Last night I was feeling vaguely ill, achy and tired; this morning I wasn't, but that doesn't really account for the change. Got some good news from a friend, but there was bad news from other friends to balance it. Got a few things accomplished, but I'm still up to my eyebrows in unfinished "to.do" items. It was bright and sunny and warm -- do I suffer from SAD? Probably.

Damned if I understand it, and that bothers me. How can I make it happen again if I don't know what I did? How long can I expect it to last?

Something is probably about to go terribly wrong.

Your comments remind me of when, after a few years of chiropractic back in the '90's, I felt completely weird one day. And figured out that it was because nothing hurt. I couldn't remember a time when nothing hurt. It was probably back before when I was 11, when my back went out for the first time.

But I wonder if trying to analyze your happy place is counter-productive. I think that just being with the moment, however it comes, gives you better ways of accessing it later, because you now have it stored in the database. Of course, a nice day with warm sunny weather doesn't hurt!
