So glad I wrote the above. Mostly, I write while I'm depressed. It's not often that I write when I'm "up." Going only by my writings, one might think I was never happy.

Fact is, I have far more to be happy about than not. I've made mistakes, and I have regrets, but those are far outstripped by the great people in my life, the wonderful events and accomplishments, and my own positive traits.

I have it good. Even better: I'm good.
