Here's a question I came up with halfway through the night (after I had eaten something, which I didn't do for most of the day and might have had something to do with my mood): How do I keep today from being a bad day? (For tomorrow, it could be phrased: How do I keep today from being like yesterday?) Other people might phrase it as: How can I make today better than yesterday? but that, to me, is an upward spiral, a question that presupposes brilliance at the end of the trail. I don't presuppose that things will always get better. Still, trying to prevent things from being lousy isn't such a bad aim. As long as I can keep that view in mind. For some reason, my mind resists thinking positively.
