This isn't a deeply intelectual question...but I'm having a wonderful day/time period actually and wanted to share and see how others are doing.

I have chronic pain and pain from a recent procedure. I have chosen a positive attitude despite these current struggles. This is a change for me. Also, I think we can have not necessarily good or bad days, but moments. If something doesn't go our way it's a bad moment, the whole day isn't bad.

Feel better soon please...and thank you for maintaining positivity through your struggles.

Thanks so much. It is appreciated.

I hope you feel better soon.

If something doesn’t go our way it’s a bad moment, the whole day isn’t bad.

I would say this is generally true, but it can also mean that when we have a good/bad moment, these moments tend to affect how we behave for the rest of the day. Furthermore, how we see the rest of the day. Therefore, bad moments can lead to a bad day as well as good moments can make us deliriously happy for the remainder of the day, which we would call a good day. If multiple moments occur, the feeling is just that stronger one way or the other.

Exactly! But we have to try and let go of the bad moments and not allow those to dictate the rest of our day.

I agree. I try to focus on the moments so I don't consider a day entirely bad like I used to.
