Glad you had a wonderful day.
You are right, is the glass half full or half empty?

For one day, write down all the good things that happened.
At the end of the day, you have a physical representation of how your day was.
On the converse side, for one day you write all the bad things that happened.
At the end of the day, you take those bad things and throw them in the trash.
Through your bad things away.

So one Ceremony, I took the really bad ones, like specifically so many eyes watching all over in this one watercolor.
I brought them to Ceremony and burned them in Sacred Fire, thus purifying those memories and sending all that abuse to God to KEEP cuz I needed and wanted to let go of it all.
