- It was a beautiful sunny day
- I got to spend all day with my daughter
- I had a delicious beer
- I was productive work-wise
- I had positive times with my daughter and did some tickling - I love the giggles
- Putting my daughter to bed was a breeze
- standard stuff: everyone healthy, roof over our heads, food on the table, etc
Things that happened today that are conventionally seen as less than positive:
- It was beautiful sunny day, but I stayed inside to work on my laptop for long stretches
- I was home with my daughter 'cause she's a bit sick and producing snot in indescribable amounts
- Said daughter was less than co-operative including doing things like throwing handfuls of food at me, getting timeouts and then going back to doing exactly what she was got the timeout for, etc.
- Tickling ended when my daughter bashed me in the face so hard my glasses because so bent out of shape I have not been able to correct them. My head still hurts
- Two hours after putting my daughter to bed she's still awake
I will actively work on forgetting the second list like it didn't happen. It doesn't add anything positive to the discussion, to the memories, to how I want to think of my life. As my uncle always says: "Never let the truth get in the way of a good story." At one point I may look back at my life and while parts won't be fiction, they might not be the whole truth. And I'm okay with that.
