Today is none of them, it's a Thursday in almost exactly the middle of April. But various things are going on and I need a distraction. I've quit Facebook for a while, I'm not working this week and good and bad things keep jumping out at me screaming to be blogged about.
I've thought long and hard about whether to start with the Good or the Bad - should each blog post consist of one of each, or should I swing from one to another as and when the mood takes me. I think I'll start with one of each - if I have a day where I have nothing bad to say, I'm not going to fight it. If I have a day where there's nothing good going on, I'm not looking hard enough. Maybe happiness then will have a slight lead, who knows.
Abraham Lincoln said that "Most people are about as happy as they make up their minds to be" - and I agree, we all have a choice to be happy and those people who mope around consistently bemoaning their lot in life are not top of my list of people I want to be stuck in a lift with. Yet again, I think there are times when you're not happy and sometimes it's as worthy and as interesting an experience as the times when you're on top of the world.
Before I launch into a philosophical debate on fate and determinism against free will and self help, I want to clarify that the bad blogs (I hope) aren't going to be dark clouds of gloom set against a backdrop of melancholy depression. They're just not the good ones. But that's OK.
