With history piling up so fast, almost every day is the anniversary of something awful.
-- Joe Brainard

"History" is mostly a record of awful events - war, famine conspiracy, oppression, betrayal. But surely, every day is equally the anniversary of something wonderful. It's all in how you look at it.

Perhaps a calendar of wonderful anniversaries would be an antidote to depression: this is the day I first heard tender words from someone dear; this is the day I stopped smoking; ten years ago on this day I committed myself to a program of positive living and spiritual growth.

Keeping such a calendar, even for a short time, gives us a record of spiritual progress. Even to be able to say, "How different I am from what I was five years ago" can be a truly cheering thing. Why let the tyranny of history depress our spirits? Let's make our own.

I will treasure the private record; the public one will keep track of disasters.

Good days get better--bad days get fewer.:)

Good days are difficult to get used to, when youve been, and allowed yourself to be in that deep pit, for so long.

You keep saying to yourself "What the hell is going to happen next? DoH!

Someone wanna borrow my rope ladder. Im done with it.:)

Steps work great.
