A few things happened in the past year that have turned my head a bit. A slight increase in wisdom, I suppose. I'm looking for the bright side. I often find it in weird places. I enjoy my house, garden, pool, etc. Even my wife helps to keep things interesting. When I get together with my bandmates, which just happened a couple nights ago, there is laughter upon laughter. About old times. About stuff that's happening. About things which, the next day, I cannot remember what brought about such guffaws.
At work, I enjoyed a 12% pay increase. With another 5% coming in a few months. That reduces the burden of working OT, Time is time. A human construct. But it's how we mark the passage of events.
Anyway, since I'm the only one who reads this, I think I should know, or I should tell myself, that there are plenty of times when life is not grim. Gravitate towards that. Don't "go to the light" as it were. But gravitate towards the things that bring a smile, a laugh, a smell, whatever it is.
