The opposite
Why don't we notice a string of particularly good days?
Perhaps I should spend more time concentrating on the good things in my life.
A list:
I have a family. They love me.
I have a boyfriend. He loves me.
I have friends in Chicago and in many other places. They love me.
I have a home. I love it.
I am not unemployed.
I am not allergic to chocolate.
I am (relatively) young and healthy.
My faith guides me.
I got paid today.
I like to exercise.
I can read and write. Many people helped to teach me how.
I'm getting better at the technical side of blogging.
My computer hasn't crashed in almost a year now.
Spring Break is coming soon.
It's Friday.
The sun is shining.
I'm sure there's plenty more for which I should be thankful. That will have to do for now. I'm going to bake some chocolate chip cookies and drink red wine while I do so. (Thank you, Kristine.) Maybe tomorrow I'll go to the spa (Thank you, Mamachristy.)

Because bad news always sticks better than good. Because negatives are easier to focus on than positives. Because it can be argued that pessimism is actually realism.
Sorry, I realise this probably does not help!

Darwin,
Actually, it does help. It helps explain why I can't seem to shift my focus away from the "bad stuff." Even if I try, the focus drifts back in a short while. Thanks for the reality check.

Perhaps it's just a matter of your perspective. I've been trying to be better about it because it's a shame to miss your happy endings.
And Stolie - you're shameless!
