Today I felt a lot better than most days. I've been trying to sort of re-invent myself. Lose some weight, started to exersize, cut down on the coffee. I did things little by little and was feeling good about them. All of a sudden but not out of the blue, I get the old feeling that something bad was going to happen. You know, the feeling good but feeling like something is going to happen kind of thing. It's happened so many times before that I used to shrug it off, but I would also shrug my good feelings away. This time I paid more attention to it and really felt it. I knew if I waited long enough, something would happen that I could call bad. I didn't want it to win this time and I didn't want to just shrug it off. I decided I would try to overpower it by keeping this good feeling going. If anything does happen, it's not because I feel these good feelings. It's okay to have good feelings, and know I can keep them. I feel good about the things I'm trying to do for myself. Some of these things are helping me feel good. I want to keep the happy feelings and I'll keep fighting for them.
You are absolutely right: it is okay to feel good. I am glad that you are feeling good. I hope that good feeling lasts for a long time.
It is okay to take care of yourself. It is also true that everyone has a bad day from time to time ... a bad day doesn't have to mean that you've done something wrong or didn't do something you should have done ... I hope you can remember that if/when another bad day comes along.
