It’s a good day today. Actually, not just a good day, a great day. I’m sitting here eating my lunch and listening to some dance music and doing a bit of chair dancing as I type. If you happen to work with me, please refrain from coming back to catch the dance number, as I won’t be dancing and will categorically deny any such antics. I even started obsessing about something this morning, caught myself doing it, and switched it off. Score one for me versus excessive paranoia and unhappiness. But wait! There’s more!

Yes, gentle reader, you read right — there is even more juicy goodness to this day. I’ve been getting lots of actual work accomplished, and had nary an interruption since I got here. I haven’t felt this good in a long time.

I’m sitting here just thinking about all that I have to be thankful for right now. I have a beautiful, devoted, intelligent, and downright wonderful fianceé, a job that pays the bills, a nice apartment, a loving family, a good church, a few good friends… the list goes on. About time I pulled out of this funk.

To what do I owe this transformation? Well, I’m not sure, exactly, but I’m attributing at least part of it to the fact that I finally got back in my exercise routine this morning. Even though I had a half hour less sleep than I would normally have, I spent that half hour on a cross trainer. I’ve read that exercise helps improve mood as well as metabolism, maybe there’s some truth to it.

In any case, life is good.
