Long time, no posty.

I am shocked to realize that I haven't written a post in my regular journal for five days. Wow. I've commented many times in other people's journals, and posted in a couple communities, but not my journal. Hmm.

Anyway, it struck me this morning how well I'm doing. How happy I am. I feel things like pain and sorrow and frustration, but it's mostly on behalf of others who I care about. I have been dealing with and getting over most of my negative emotions in record time these days. It's been like this for the past...three weeks or something. I'm feeling competent, confident, and pretty much content. Even the really sad night I had a week and a half ago, I got over quickly. Not the problems that caused it--I know they still need work. But I am feeling my feelings more calmly now. It's not that I'm controlling them, but I'm not losing sight of all the good stuff when something bad happens. That seems to be the best way to deal with problems that I have ever known. Yup. Nice. :)

I'm not going to bother posting on all the activities I've done since my last post. Many involved other LJ-ers who have already written about them, anyway.

I will be picking up the DVDs from my dance recital this evening before I go to discussion group. Kilt-Boy, darlin, you should be getting yours within a couple weeks or so. My DVD player doesn't play DVD-Rs. It doesn't include them in the list of media it plays. My friend Jason C. told me there's something I can do to make it play them anyway. Does anyone happen to know what that is? Or Jason, if you're reading this, can you tell me? I'll e-mail you today anyway in case you're not reading it. I'm dying to see what I look like. Of course, I may be dying to forget after I see it. :)

Ok, I'd better get going now and do some work. Feels good to post!

How do you do it?

What's you secret/trick/method for actually maintaining feeling like that? I can think of a lot of things, but what do you think is most important? (hee hee, me saying I don't want advice, and then looking for it--but I guess I'm ok with it on my own terms, like asking other people about THEIR lives to help me with ideas for my own.) :)

It was a ritual I did that seems to have turned the trick. I'll tell you more later.
