Life is a funny old game eh? And life with PTSD is even funnier (sarcasm).

I spend so much of my life in a constant state of flux; my energy changes from one minute to the next. Depressed, crying, fleeting happy feelings, sadness, grief, anger, resentment, confusion, empathy, despair etc etc...I am sure many of you recognise this all to well?!

So I was chatting to myself the other day! You know the internal chatter that goes on within each of us?! I was saying to myself; "you are feeling Okay today!" I was actually registering a good day - wow! I guess I have spent so much of my life in this constant state of flux along with good old denial that I had lost the ability to recognise many emotions within me, including having a good day!

I used to feel cheated that much of my time was filled up with negative emotions and thoughts that I was/am constantly wading through, and usually feeling like the current was working against me!

So this day I said, "hey Spirit, you feel good today, you feel on top of things and even though the feeling may be fleeting and it may pass as quickly as it arrives, bloody enjoy it, hold on to it, enjoy this day like it will be the longest day of your life. Do not feel cheated that it is only one out of a thousand bad days, do not look ahead to tomorrow, and worry that it will be gone! Enjoy the good day! Embrace it and smile! Be in the now! - JUST SMILE FROM THE INSIDE OUT!!!"

So, do you recognise your good days! And what do you do to capture these moments?
